ANTHONY, 1949 Egg tempera and oil mixed with resin. 29 1/2” x 42 1/8” (75 x 107 cm). Signed and dated lower left: Fuchs Ernst/49. Provenance: From the artist to Manfred Mautner-Markhof; Private collection, Vienna. Note: The Vienna School of Fantastic Realism formed in 1946 included Ernst Fuchs, Rudolph Hausner, Wolfgang Hutter, and Fritz Janschka. Arik Brauer and Anton Lemden were all visionaries, born of the jagged ruins of post-war Vienna. The group saw itself as Surrealist although they were already moving away from the Surrealist painting of the 1930s towards a more visionary approach. Technically their work had the clarity and detail of early Flemish painting. The present painting, The Temptation of St. Anthony, is dated 1949. Already baptized during the war, Fuchs converted to Roman Catholicism in 1956. Between 1950 and 1961, Fuchs lived mostly in Paris, and made a number of journeys to the United States and Israel. His favorite reading material at the time was the sermons of Meister Eckhart. He also studied the symbolism of the alchemists and read Jung’s Psychology and Alchemy. In 1958, he founded the Galerie Fuchs-Fischoff in Vienna to promote and support the younger painters of the Fantastic Realism school. Together with Friedensreich Hundertwasser and Arnulf Rainer, he founded the Pintorarium. GEORGE GROSZ 1893 - Berlin - 1959 NACHTS ("AT NIGHT"), 1926 Watercolor and pen and ink drawing on firm, grainy watercolor paper, 23.7 x 18.8 inch (60.3 x 47.8 cm) Signed in pencil Grosz lower right. Numbered No 33 and titled Nachts lower left With a photo-certificate and expert report from Ralph Jentsch, Berlin/Rome, dated March 26, 2011. This work will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the works on paper by George Grosz. Interpretation Grosz’ painted his watercolors of Berlin street scenes primarily between 1925 and 1932 and they make up an important part of his oeuvre. Grosz sees the metropolis as a panopticon populated by very different and contrasting people. He often depicts strolling couples or the coincidental meeting of young and old, usually showing an aging man lustfully staring at a young girl or a well- dressed business man on his way to the office or on a shopping spree. Stylishly dressed pedestrians contrast with haggard beggars who go unnoticed. Grosz’ hunting ground was mostly along the busy parts of Friedrichstraße, Kurfürstendamm and Tauentzienstraße, where all the facets of city life could be freely observed: poverty and affluence, misery and greed, the unrelenting flaunting of love for sale, embodied by well-dressed prostitutes on the lookout for customers in broad daylight. Grosz not only keenly observed these scenes –every figure captured here is characterized by fitting attributes - he also expertly composed them. What appears to be a chance arrangement in these pictures - the positioning of figures, the arrangement of architectural motifs such as house facades and shop window decorations – is actually carefully selected. Grosz opted for twilight as a time setting for this large-format watercolor. An elegantly dressed prostitute has managed to pick up an old man who, despite his age and feeble appearance, probably did not wander into the red light district accidently. In 1926 Grosz gave 36 works on paper on commission to the “Galerie Neue Kunst Fides” in Dresden, including this watercolor.

Note: Lady Hamilton or the Posturing of Emma or From Housemaid to Beefsteak a La Nelson. A fantastic and romantic travesty by Alfred Richard Meyer. Most industriously fleshed out by George Grosz was published by Fritz Gurlitt, Berlin, 1923. Alfred Meyer’s account of Emma, Lady Hamilton and her escapades was illustrated by George Grosz, reflecting the night life of the Weimar-era speakeasies and clubs. His illustrations chronicled the erotic side of Lord Nelson and Emma’s affair, which British writers often underplayed. HOFFMANN, Josef (1870-1956) Austrian School FLORAL DESIGN Ink on off-white wove paper. 11 ½” x 8 ¼” (29.2 x 21 cm). No watermark. Ink monogram on lower left: J H. Inscribed in graphite on backing: ④ Josef Hoffmann 275 x 195, with arrows to reverse the measurements. Collection of Johannes Spalt (1920–2010), Vienna. Note: After studying architecture at the Vienna Academy under Karl von Hasenauer and Otto Wagner, Josef Hoffmann became one of the most prolific and influential architects and designers of the early 20th century. He was professor at the Kunstgewerbeschule (School of Applied Arts), Vienna, where he taught architecture, metalwork, enameling, and applied art from 1899 to 1936. Many of Hoffmann’s designs were produced for the Wiener Werkstätte, which he founded along with Kolo Moser and industrialist Friedrich(“Fritz”) Waerndorfer. The simplicity of design and curvilinear forms seen in the present drawing may date to the early years of the 20th century when many artists and designers, particularly in Vienna, were still under the stylistic influence of Art Nouveau. Designs such as these were often multi-purposed, used for various decorative arts projects for the Wiener Werkstätte, including etched glassworks, end papers, screens etc… HOFFMANN, Josef (1870-1956) Austrian School FLORAL DESIGN Ink on off-white wove paper. 11 ½” x 8 ¼” (29.2 x 21 cm).

    Namoda 2020 Itsnicethat Ang

    Functioning like a story, the work of Cassi Namoda is filled with narra- tive. And now with what is set to be her first UK exhibition held at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery in London, Cassi – who grew up between Mozam- bique, Haiti and the United States – has released a new set of artworks that explore her multicultural upbringing. The artist refers to this new show, titled Little is Enough For Those in Love, as a “survey of life”, and one that should be “held at the highest cur- rency” – that currency, of course, being love. “I think I wanted to expand on that truth, and I felt that the best way to create this cathartic release was to create a spiritual body of work,” she tells It’s Nice That. Cassi spent the most of September last year in East Hampton (where the artist lives and works) in order to create the earlier part of the show. At this time, she was particularly inspired by Helen Frankenthaler, an American abstract expressionist painter whom broadened her ideals of what can be achieved in terms of the “application of paint, landscape and abstraction”. As for the work she produced, Cassi adds: “There was a cohesive tissue that connected all the works – the palette – because every morning I would take walks in nature and that came through in the pinks, soft yellows and bright blues, which sometimes contrast with the meaning of the picture.” An example of this allegory in context can be seen within the 3 month old lung patient painting – one that Cassi refers to as having an “ethere- al beauty” before the audience takes note of what’s actually taking place within the image.

    2.1. Abgrenzung Zur Wiener Schule Des Phantastischen Realismus Zu

    Christa Armann, Arnulf Rainer – Das Frühwerk, Diplomarbeit, Universität Wien 2010 2.1. Abgrenzung zur Wiener Schule des Phantastischen Realismus Zu der aus der Meisterklasse von Albert Paris Gütersloh an der Wiener Akademie der bildenden Künste entstandenen Schule des Wiener Phantastischen Realismus gehörten im innersten Kreis Künstler wie Erich (Arik) Brauer, Ernst Fuchs, Rudolf Hausner, Wolfgang Hutter und Anton Lemden. Im Gegensatz zum strengen und auf formalistischen Methoden bezogenen Unterricht bei Professor Robin Christian Anderson, förderte Gütersloh die Eigenständigkeit, Innovationsbereitschaft und Phantasie der Studenten. Er schuf damit eine Alternative zur autoritären Vermittlung der expressiven Tradition durch Anderson. Gütersloh war kein gelernter Maler, sondern Schauspieler und Dichter. Seine prachtvolle, dichte und prägnante Sprache charakterisierte auch seine Malerei. Ab 1945 unterrichtete er seine Meisterklasse und als Präsident des 1947 gegründeten Art Club Wien konnte er seinen Studenten auch wichtige Ausstellungsmöglichkeiten bieten.24 Der Stil der Phantastischen Realisten zeichnete sich durch die Kombination von altmeisterlicher Maltechnik mit magischen Bildthemen voll von religiösen oder kunsthistorischen Inhalten aus. Dieses im vorigen Kapitel besprochene Moment der Gewalt, Aggression und Angst in Rainers surrealen Arbeiten war bei Künstlerkollegen des Wiener Phantastischen Realismus weitgehend nicht vorhanden. Der Kunstkritiker Johann Muschik war der Namenserfinder dieser Stilrichtung. Er definierte deren Vorgehen als „Wirklichkeitsdarstellung mit phantastischen Mitteln“, jedoch ohne das mit Absicht Unlogische, das Absurde, das sprunghaft Widersinnige und die Verruchtheit der Surrealisten. Mit „naturalistischen Surrealisten“, wie z.B. Salvatore Dáli, René Magritte oder Paul Delveau, hätten sie die Genauigkeit und Akribie der Malerei gemeinsam.25 Rainer hingegen male keine „Lockbilder in altmeisterlicher Technik“, um den außergewöhnlichen Inhalt angepasst zu verpacken, wie Breicha es ausdrückte.

    Irina Pushkareva 06.24.15 Early 20Th Century Figure Paintings Early 20Th

    Irina Pushkareva 06.24.15 Early 20th Century Figure Paintings Early 20th century was the time when artists experimented with representing objects, nature, and most importantly, the human form, in more abstract and self-expressionist style. The artists who are famous for experimenting with human forms and shapes were Henry Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Egon Schiele. Matisse used very abstract way to paint people. He depicted them in simple shapes with dark outline representing a basic human form. Pablo Picasso saw people as geometric forms in his Cubist paintings. He used rectangular shapes to convey his models' forms on a canvas. Picasso, as a very emotional person, often was affected by the political events or his lovers, which was reflected in what colors he used in his paintings. On the other hand, Egon Schiele's palette was limited to the light, soft colors, and the use of rough black contour around the figures. Schiele's goal was to show the mortality of human's body, and its fragility. Henry Matisse was a law clerk in France, who accidentally found that he had a passion for painting. His paintings are bright , soft, and pretty abstract, compared to the artists of 19th and earlier periods. Matisse is known to be the founder of the art movement called Fauvism, where the pure colors and bright light are the main subjects. He was one of the artists of earlier 20th century, who was focused on the human's figure a lot in his paintings and collages. Henry Matisse represented the body in simple, abstract shape, that captures every curve of the figure.

    The Autobiography of Alice B Toklas (1933) by Gertrude Stein

    The Autobiography of Alice B Toklas (1933) by Gertrude Stein Chapter 1 - BEFORE I CAME TO PARIS I was born in San Francisco, California 1877. California, mid 1800s Alice B. Toklas circa 1878 I have in consequence always preferred living in a temperate climate but it is difficult, on the continent of Europe or even in America, to find a temperate climate and live in it. My mother's father was a pioneer, he came to California in '49, he married my grandmother who was very fond of music. She was a pupil of Clara Schumann's father. My mother was a quiet charming woman named Emilie. My father came of polish patriotic stock. His grand-uncle raised a regiment for Napoleon and was its colonel. His father left his mother just after their marriage, to fight at the barricades in Paris, but his wife having cut off his supplies, he soon returned and led the life of a conservative well to do land owner. I myself have had no liking for violence and have always enjoyed the pleasures of needlework and gardening. I am fond of paintings, furniture, tapestry, houses and flowers and even vegetables and fruit-trees. I like a view but I like to sit with my back turned to it. I led in my childhood and youth the gently bred existence of my class and kind. I had some intellectual adventures at this period but very quiet ones. When I was about nineteen years of age I was a great admirer of Henry James. I felt that The Awkward Age would make a very remarkable play and I wrote to Henry James suggesting that I dramatise it.

    Richard Nagy Ltd. Richard Nagy Ltd. The Silverman Collection Preface by Richard Nagy Interview by Roger Bevan Essays by Robert Brown and Christian Witt-Dörring with Yves Macaux Richard Nagy Ltd Old Bond Street London Preface From our first meeting in New York it was clear; Benedict Silverman and I had a rapport. We preferred the same artists and we shared a lust for art and life in a remar kable meeting of minds. We were more in sync than we both knew at the time. I met Benedict in , at his then apartment on East th Street, the year most markets were stagnant if not contracting – stock, real estate and art, all were moribund – and just after he and his wife Jayne had bought the former William Randolph Hearst apartment on Riverside Drive. Benedict was negotiating for the air rights and selling art to fund the cash shortfall. A mutual friend introduced us to each other, hoping I would assist in the sale of a couple of Benedict’s Egon Schiele watercolours. The first, a quirky and difficult subject of , was sold promptly and very successfully – I think even to Benedict’s surprise. A second followed, a watercolour of a reclining woman naked – barring her green slippers – with splayed Richard Nagy Ltd. Richardlegs. It was also placed Nagy with alacrity in a celebrated Ltd. Hollywood collection. While both works were of high quality, I understood why Benedict could part with them. They were not the work of an artist that shouted: ‘This is me – this is what I can do.’ And I understood in the brief time we had spent together that Benedict wanted only art that had that special quality.

    ART HISTORY REVEALED Dr. Laurence Shafe This course is an eclectic wander through art history. It consists of twenty two-hour talks starting in September 2018 and the topics are largely taken from exhibitions held in London during 2018. The aim is not to provide a guide to the exhibition but to use it as a starting point to discuss the topics raised and to show the major art works. An exhibition often contains 100 to 200 art works but in each two-hour talk I will focus on the 20 to 30 major works and I will often add works not shown in the exhibition to illustrate a point.

In 1906, at the age of 21, he moved to Paris. Many factors shaped his decision. Born in the port city of Livorno, he belonged to an educated family of Sephardic Jews (descended from Spain and Portugal), who encouraged his ambition and exposed him to languages and literature. He had seen great Renaissance art and had trained as a painter. But Paris offered excitement. Paris offered variety. There he would encounter ways of thinking, seeing and behaving that challenged and shaped his work. This exhibition opens with a self-portrait, painted around 1915, in which Modigliani presents himself as the tragic clown Pierrot. His contemporaries would have recognised the reference instantly as, at the time, the figure appeared in countless pictures, plays and films. A young person shaping their identity could relate to Pierrot, a stock character open to interpretation, linked to the past and looking towards the future. Pierrot could be comedic, melancholy or romantic, played by any actor or painted by any artist.

Oktober 2014, 18:29 Hutter, einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter der Wiener Schule des Phantastischen Realismus, starb bereits am 26. September - Zum Tod eines Augenlüstlings im Blumengarten Wien - Wie erst jetzt bekannt wurde, ist Wolfgang Hutter, einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter der Wiener Schule des Phantastischen Realismus, bereits am 26. September im Alter von 85 Jahren verstorben. Hutter gründete gemeinsam mit Ernst Fuchs, Rudolf Hausner und anderen eine - im internationalen Vergleich späte - surrealistische Gruppe innerhalb des seit 1947 bestehenden Wiener Art Clubs. Erst Jahre später, 1958, prägte der Kunstkritiker Johann Muschik für sie den Begriff "Wiener Schule des Phantastischen Realismus", der sich gegenüber anderen Vorschlägen, etwa "Phantasmagoriker", wie es ihr Mentor, der surrealistische Maler Albert Paris Gütersloh angeregt hatte, durchsetzte. Bereits seit den späten 1950er-Jahren durften sich die Künstler, zu denen etwa auch Arik Brauer und Anton Lehmden zählten, über beträchtliche (Ausstellungs-)Erfolge freuen. Verspielte Sujets foto: standard Hutter hat trotz schwerer Krankheit bis zuletzt gearbeitet.

Gütersloh war ein wichtiger künstlerischer Einfluss für Hutter, insbesondere was den bühnenartigen Aufbau seiner Bilder angeht. Hutters Werk ist gekennzeichnet durch phantastische, märchenhafte, oft verspielte Sujets - künstliche Gärten, puppenhafte Wesen und ebensolche Frauenfiguren, den sogenannten "Huttermädchen" - alles in altmeisterlicher Manier und technischer Perfektion gemalt. Es war die Akribie und Akkuratesse im Detail, die, laut Hutter, seinen Zauberreichen Glaubwürdigkeit verleihen sollte.
