  • Erich Mercker and “Technical Subjects”: Industrial Painting in the Eras of Weimar and Nazi Germany
    H-Labor-Arts Erich Mercker and “Technical Subjects”: Industrial Painting in the Eras of Weimar and Nazi Germany Discussion published by Patrick Jung on Saturday, October 7, 2017 (Copyright 2008, Society of Industrial Archeology and reprinted with permission) From the author: This article was published earlier in Industrial Archaeology: The Journal of the Society for Industrial Archeology, vol. 34, nos. 1 & 2. It is reproduced here on H-Labor Arts to make it available to a wider audience. I wrote this article while I was in the midst of finishing a book-length manuscript on Erich Mercker, who was, undoubtedly, one of the top industrial artists in Germany from 1919 to 1945. He and his contemporaries (e.g., Fritz Gärtner, Franz Gerwin, Ria Picco-Rückert, Leonhard Sandrock, and Richard Gessner) constituted a school of artists who I have provisionally labeled the “Heroic School” of German industrial art from 1919 to 1945. The Grohmann Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin has paintings produced by virtually all of these artists. It also has more than 90 paintings by Erich Mercker, more than any other art museum in the world. Thus, it is fitting this article should appear on the H-Labor Arts site titled “From the Grohmann….” I also hope this essay will spur more research into Mercker and his “Heroic School” contemporaries, all of whom produced some of the most stunning examples of industrial art during the course of the early twentieth century. Those interested in reading the full-length biography on Erich Mercker (for which this article paved the way) should contact the Grohmann Museum at [email protected].

  • The Life and Times of Karola Szilvássy, Transylvanian Aristocrat and Modern Woman*
    Cristian, Réka M.. “The Life and Times of Karola Szilvássy, A Transylvanian Aristocrat and Modern Woman.” Hungarian Cultural Studies. e-Journal of the American Hungarian Educators Association, Volume 12 (2019) DOI: 10.5195/ahea.2019.359 The Life and Times of Karola Szilvássy, Transylvanian Aristocrat and Modern Woman* Réka M. Cristian Abstract: In this study Cristian surveys the life and work of Baroness Elemérné Bornemissza, née Karola Szilvássy (1876 – 1948), an internationalist Transylvanian aristocrat, primarily known as the famous literary patron of Erdélyi Helikon and lifelong muse of Count Miklós Bánffy de Losoncz, who immortalized her through the character of Adrienne Milóth in his Erdélyi trilógia [‘The Transylvanian Trilogy’]. Research on Karola Szilvássy is still scarce with little known about the life of this maverick woman, who did not comply with the norms of her society. She was an actress and film director during the silent film era, courageous nurse in the World War I, as well as unusual fashion trendsetter, gourmet cookbook writer, Africa traveler—in short, a source of inspiration for many women of her time, and after. Keywords: Karola Szilvássy, Miklós Bánffy, János Kemény, Zoltán Óváry, Transylvanian aristocracy, modern woman, suffrage, polyglot, cosmopolitan, Erdélyi Helikon Biography: Réka M. Cristian is Associate Professor, Chair of the American Studies Department, University of Szeged, and Co-chair of the university’s Inter-American Research Center. She is author of Cultural Vistas and Sites of Identity: Literature, Film and American Studies (2011), co-author (with Zoltán Dragon) of Encounters of the Filmic Kind: Guidebook to Film Theories (2008), and general editor of AMERICANA E-Journal of American Studies in Hungary, as well as its e-book division, AMERICANA eBooks.

  • The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection A
    THE THYSSEN-BORNEMISZA COLLECTION A COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY OF THE HISTORY OF ART Duccio, Van Eyck, Carpaccio, Lucas Cranach, Dürer, Caravaggio, Rubens, Frans Hals, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Kirchner, Mondrian, Klee, Hopper, and Rauschenberg are among the great names of Art History whose works can be seen in the Palacio de Villahermosa, home of the Fundación Colección Thyssen-Bornemisza. Located almost opposite the Museo del Prado and very close to the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, this Museum, housed in a palace re-modelled by the architect Rafael Moneo, was the previously missing element whose arrival completed the city’s “art triangle”. With the additional presence in Madrid of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection, the most important private collection of art in the world until June 1993 when it was acquired by the Spanish State for 350 million dollars, few cities can offer more to the art enthusiast. Comprising almost 1,000 paintings and incorporating the Carmen Thyssen- Bornemisza Collection since 2004, the Museum’s collection offers a complete survey of European painting from its origins in the 13th century to the late 20th century. Through a chronological arrangement, the visitor can follow the most important trends and movements in paintings starting with the Italian Primitives led by Duccio and concluding with late Surrealism and the development of the Pop aesthetic in the 1960s as well as work by painters who have continued the figurative tradition up to the present day. One of the Collection’s most notable characteristics as a Spanish museum is the fact that it complements the Museo del Prado with regard to its Old Master paintings and completes and expands the type of modern works to be seen in the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, given that the strong points of the Thyssen- Bornemisza Collection are precisely those that are weaker in the other two museums: Italian and Flemish Primitives, German Renaissance art, 17th-century Dutch painting, Impressionism, German Expressionism, Russian Constructivism, geometrical abstraction and Pop Art.
