We’re beginning to focus on thematic issues, and this one comes out just in time to reflect on the 20th anniversary of the Washington Principles on what to do about Nazi-looted art claims. Suffice it to say that reception on the subject has been mixed, with most scholars considering the Principles to be well-meaning but inadequate, and with only politicos applauding their efforts, but with no real, legal benefit emerging to help victims. But this is a lively debate, and we are pleased to be engaged in it. The thematic focus of this issue covers roughly one-third of the material featured, so the rest of the issue is as varied as you have come to expect. We likewise feature a Young Scholar’s work and are also integrating a new section. ARCA is launching a book publishing wing, with plans to release 4-5 books each year, beginning in 2019. The books will, of course, be academic or trade non-fiction works on art crime, of the sort we have already published ourselves (The Thefts of the Mona Lisa, 2011) or published through established publishing houses (Art & Crime: Exploring the Dark Side of the Art World, Praeger 2009, and Art Crime: Terrorists, Tomb Raiders, Forgers and Thieves, Palgrave 2016). The first batch of books will include: Transnational Crime and the Illicit Art and Antiquities Trade by Edgar Tijhuis, The Caravaggio Diaries by Father Marius Zerafa, How To Steal from the Louvre by Noah Charney, Cultural Diplomacy in Italy for the Return of Cultural Heritage in Exile by Stefano Alessandrini and Context Matters by David Gill. We are also planning to launch a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for scholarships for participants interested in our Postgraduate Professional Development Program in Art Crime and Cultural Heritage Protection. We hope that you’ll keep an eye out for it and consider telling potentially interested colleagues about it, to support a good cause. As always, thank you for your support and happy reading! Noah Charney Founder, ARCA Co-Editor-in-Chief, The Journal of Art Crime www.artcrimeresearch.org 1 www.artcrimeresearch.org Academic articles The Impact of Human Error: How it Places Under Scrutiny the International Art Market and Disrupts the Natural Pace of Academic Scholarship: An Exercise in Provenance Research Angelina Giovani Abstract he purpose of this research is to illustrate, through a multifaceted case study, the importance that a group of missing paintings can have when viewed from both an academic perspective as well as from a socio-economical, art market angle. By trying to identify and trace 24 paintings by British artists which form part of a post-WWII claim, I will undertake to place them both within the historical context of the scholarship they occupy, as well as explore what their unprovenanced circulation means for the art market. The list itself is merely a means to illustrate the Tvarious obstacles that come up when conducting research of this type, as many years to come will need to be allocated to researching this case. Nevertheless, it is important to note and understand that no matter the size or the value of the work, each single piece occupies a unique place in the history of art. Our focus on researching larger, more famous and more valuable works of art is bound to have a permanent effect on the discipline of art history as a whole. The second goal was to bring attention to the issue of provenance research as a whole. How do International Art Fairs and Exhibitions address the issue of provenance? This is a small reminder that whatever measures we have taken so far are simply not enough. The objects appearing at fairs are among the most exquisite in the world. For most of us it is probably the only chance we will get to stand in front of famous and rare artworks that are part of private collections are rarely displayed publicly. While the search for the British paintings continues, we have to contribute to the creation of a culture of transparency and collaboration between the academic world and the art market which so far seem to inhabit very separate places in modern history. Keywords: Wildenstein, Roger Dequoy, Nazi-looted art, U-boats, ERR, Second World War, art fairs. www.artcrimeresearch.org 3 “Amid the destruction left by WWII, mere possessions, process of research and tried to compare his experience with even valuable paintings, meant relatively little. Millions were his restitution battle to that of his father’s, who had started dead; millions more were displaced and scattered to the winds looking for his family’s collection right after the war.5 There as refugees and stateless people, including many of his own seemed to be an agreement that involving lawyers from the family members. Europe lay in ruins, its cities damaged or very early stages of the restitution process made it extremely destroyed, its communications and transportation networks in expensive and therefore discouraging to pursue. The instances chaos, many of its people starving. In the midst of all that, a where people can do their own research and get results are few few pretty canvases were perhaps insignificant.” and Simon’s success in recovering some of his family’s lost property, in not the norm. Not everyone can afford the process -Simon Goodman, The Orpheus Clock and outsourcing it to a third party can be just as challenging.

Het bijhouden van gegevens in de verschillende regio's van het Europa van de 16e eeuw was inconsistent. In sommige gebieden werden verslagen bijgehouden maar gingen later verloren of vernietigd. In andere gebieden werden er in de eerste plaats geen records bijgehouden. Er zijn ook plaatsen waar we alleen nummers of namen van martelaren hebben zonder verdere details. De meest uitgebreide martelaarsinformatie die vandaag beschikbaar is, komt uit Vlaanderen en Nederland. Dit betekent niet dat meer mensen op die plaatsen werden gemarteld dan elders.

  • The Secret of the Strength What Would the Anabaptists Tell This Generation?
    The Secret of the Strength What Would the Anabaptists Tell This Generation? Peter Hoover This is the 2008 version of the text, with the original introduction, forward, cover picture, etc. The text has been revised, but is substantially the same as the original text, with the addition of pictures. Other inspiring books are available at: www.PrimitiveChristianity.org Introduction I well remember the first time I faced the stark realization that I was a Mennonite and different. My fourth-grade friend, Gregory, and I were riding home from public school on the bus. We were talking about our future, how we would always be friends and do things together when we grew up. Then he enthusiastically began to describe activities that from my upbringing I knew to be worldly. Desperate to save our lifelong friendship, I turned to Gregory and said, “You will have to leave your church and become a Mennonite when you grow up.” Thus, the inevitability of our way of life impressed itself on my eight-year-old mind. A year later I made my decision to follow Christ. Of course, Gregory never joined my church, and I do not even know his whereabouts today. The theme of separation from the world ran strong in the Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania where I grew up. But I wrongly assumed that, except for our plainness, we believed the same things that other Christians believed. Then one evening at the Chambersburg Mennonite Church, where I was a member, a visiting speaker jolted me with a graphic picture of my martyr heritage.

His parents were the painter Jacques Metsu (ca. 1588–1629) and the midwife Jacquemijn Garniers (ca. 1590–1651).[1] Before settling in Leiden around 1615, Metsu’s father spent some time in Gouda, earning his living as a painter of patterns for tapestry manufacturers. No work by Jacques is known, nor do paintings attributed to him appear in Leiden inventories.[2] Both of Metsu’s parents came from Southwest Flanders, but when they were still children their families moved to the Dutch Republic. When the couple wed in Leiden in 1625, neither was young and both had previously been married. Jacquemijn’s second husband, Guilliam Fermout (d. ca. 1624) from Dordrecht, had also been a painter. Jacques Metsu never knew his son, for he died eight months before Metsu was born.[3] In 1636 his widow took a fourth husband, Cornelis Bontecraey (d. 1649), an inland water skipper with sufficient means to provide well for Metsu, as well as for his half-brother and two half-sisters—all three from Jacquemijn’s first marriage.

  • The Five Senses in Genre Paintings of the Dutch Golden Age
    The Five Senses in Genre Paintings of the Dutch Golden Age Kitsirin Kitisakon+ (Thailand) Abstract This article aims to study one of the most popular themes in 17th-Century Dutch genre paintings - the five senses - in its forms and religious interpretations. Firstly, while two means of representation were used to clearly illustrate the subject, some genre scenes could also be read on a subtle level; this effectively means that such five senses images can be interpreted somewhere between clarity and am- biguity. Secondly, three distinct religious meanings were identified in these genre paintings. Vanity was associated with the theme because the pursuit of pleasure is futile, while sin was believed to be committed via sensory organs. As for the Parable of the Prodigal Son, party scenes alluding to the five senses can be read as relating to the episode of the son having spent all his fortune. Keywords: Five Senses, Genre Painting, Dutch Golden Age, Prodigal Son + Dr. Kitsirin Kitisakon, Lecturer, Visual Arts Dept., Faculty of Fine and Applied Art, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. The Five Senses… | 125 Introduction In the 16th and 17th Centuries, the five senses had never been more popular as subject matter for graphic art, especially in the Low Countries. Since Nordenfalk (1985), this theme has been occasionally discussed in monographs, catalogues of specific artists, or Dutch genre painting studies. Yet, an analysis of the modes of representation of the five senses seems to have been ignored, and there is a certain lack of fresh interest in their religious interpretations. From this observa- tion, this article aims to firstly examine how the five senses were represented in the Dutch genre paintings of the Golden Age, inspect how artists narrated them; secondly, reinvestigate how they can be religiously interpreted and propose deeper meanings which go beyond realistic appearance.

  • The Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act of 2016: an Ineffective Remedy for Returning Nazi-Looted Art
    THE HOLOCAUST EXPROPRIATED ART RECOVERY ACT OF 2016: AN INEFFECTIVE REMEDY FOR RETURNING NAZI-LOOTED ART SOFFIA H. KUEHNER GRAY* During World War II, the Third Reich engineered the “greatest art theft in history,” stealing over 650,000 works of art from across Europe. Nearly a century later, many of these works are still missing or have yet to be reunited with their prewar owners. Despite substantial efforts to both facilitate and expedite the restitution process, it still remains relatively difficult for individuals to reclaim art stolen from their families by the Na- zis during the war. This Note first examines the processes through which countries—in particular, the United States—have handled art restitution. This Note then analyzes the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act (“HEAR”) and its potential effectiveness in providing a suitable remedy to the victims of the Nazi art theft. Ultimately, this Note suggests several modifications to HEAR so that it provides an effective remedy to the victims while still pro- tecting the interests of good-faith purchasers.
