Press Release Ernst Ludwig Kirchner The Painter as Photographer March 2―June 16, 2019 Mönchsberg [3] Numerous exhibitions have celebrated the painter and sculptor Ernst Press Ludwig Kirchner. The Museum der Moderne Salzburg now presents an Mönchsberg 32 in-depth survey of the artist’s work in photography, the first such show 5020 Salzburg in Austria. Austria T +43 662 842220-601 Salzburg, March 1, 2019. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880 Aschaffenburg, F +43 662 842220-700 DE―1938 Davos, CH) was arguably the only one among the German [email protected] Expressionists who did more than dabble in photography. He left an archive www.museumdermoderne.at of ca. 1,300 glass and celluloid negatives, a collection of vintage prints, and bound albums containing photographic reproductions of his paintings, drawings, sculptures, and graphic art. Numerous exhibitions have offered public audiences opportunities to study Kirchner’s widely acclaimed oeuvre as a painter and sculptor; his photographic work, by contrast, has not received the same attention and appreciation. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The Painter as Photographer is the first exhibition at an Austrian museum specifically devoted to the artist’s photography. It gathers a selection of ca. 300 photographs, with examples from all genres the artist tried his hand at: from nudes, studio scenes, and portraits to landscape and object photography. “Kirchner did not think of his photography as fine art, but he extensively explored the medium’s possibilities. Working with the camera spurred his creative imagination and helped him devise compositional solutions; his art conversely reflects the vision of an inventory of the world in the photographic image,” as Thorsten Sadowsky, curator of the exhibition and director of the Museum der Moderne Salzburg, observes. Kirchner used photography as a source of inspiration, memory aid, and visual tool in the work on his art. Carefully arranged shots of his sculptures, pictures of visitors in his studio, and photographic documentation of the genesis of a painting in the various stages of its evolution suggest the interplay between photography and fine art in the artist’s oeuvre. Organized in a series of thematic foci, the exhibition at the Museum der Moderne Salzburg undertakes a comprehensive survey of the photographic gaze in Kirchner’s art. A small selection of paintings rounds out the presentation of this little-known segment of the famous German Expressionist’s output. A special section of the exhibition examines Kirchner’s efforts at image cultivation and self-promotion by spotlighting his attempts to control the public’s perception of his life and career through a fictional critic. Between 1920 and 1933, he published six essays on his work under the pseudonym Louis de Marsalle, deftly marketing his own work. In 2016, the Swiss photographer Stephan Bösch (1982 St. Gallen, CH) created Louis de Marsalle. Visite à Davos, a series of large-format black-and-white photographs that put a face to Kirchner’s imaginary alter ego. It will be the first time that the series will be displayed together with Kirchner’s own photographs.

    THE PRESENCE OF SAND IN WASSILY KANDINSKY’S PARISIAN PAINTINGS by ASHLEY DENISE MILLWOOD DR. LUCY CURZON, COMMITTEE CHAIR DR. MINDY NANCARROW DR. JESSICA DALLOW A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Joint Program in Art History in the Graduate Schools of The University of Alabama at Birmingham and The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2013 Copyright Ashley Denise Millwood 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Despite the extensive research that has been done on Wassily Kandinsky, little has been said about his use of sand during the decade that he spent in Paris. During this time, Kandinsky’s work shows a significant shift in both style and technique. One particular innovation was the addition of sand, and I find it interesting that this aspect of Kandinsky’s career has not been fully explored. I saw Kandinsky’s use of sand as an interesting addition to his work, and I questioned his use of this material. The lack of research in this area gave me the opportunity to formulate a theory as to why Kandinsky used sand and no other extraneous material. This examination of Kandinsky’s use of sand will contribute to the overall understanding that we have of his work by providing us with a theory and a purpose behind his use of sand. The purpose was to underscore the spirituality that can be found in his artworks. ii DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this thesis to everyone who helped me in both my research and my writing.

    dossiê kandinsky kandinsky beyond painting: new perspectives Lissa Tyler Renaud Guest Editor DOI: https://doi.org/10.26512/dramaturgias.v0i9.24910 issn: 2525-9105 introduction This Special Issue on Kandinsky is dedicated to exchanges between Theatre and Music, artists and researchers, practitioners and close observers. The Contents were also selected to interest and surprise the general public’s multitudes of Kandinsky aficionados. Since Dr. Marcus Mota’s invitation in 2017, I have been gathering scholarly, professional, and other thoughtful writings, to make of the issue a lively, expansive, and challenging inquiry into Kandinsky’s works, activities, and thinking — especially those beyond painting. “Especially those beyond painting.” Indeed, the conceit of this issue, Kandinsky Beyond Painting, is that there is more than enough of Kandinsky’s life in art for discussion in the fields of Theatre, Poetry, Music, Dance and Architecture, without even broaching the field he is best known for working in. You will find a wide-ranging collection of essays and articles organized under these headings. Over the years, Kandinsky studies have thrived under the care of a tight- knit group of intrepid scholars who publish and confer. But Kandinsky seems to me to be everywhere. In my reading, for example, his name appears unexpectedly in books on a wide range of topics: philosophy, popular science, physics, neuroscience, history, Asian studies, in personal memoirs of people in far-flung places, and more. Then, too, I know more than a few people who are not currently scholars or publishing authors evoking Kandinsky’s name, but who nevertheless have important Further Perspectives, being among the most interesting thinkers on Kandinsky, having dedicated much rumination to the deeper meanings of his life and work.

Sometime before selling it he photographed the front and back of the canvas. The latter bears a landscape scene. 1918-23 In 1918, Alfred Hess (1879-1931), a Jewish businessman and co-proprietor of M. & L. Hess Schuhfabrik A. G., a shoe factory in Erfurt, began assembling what was to become one of the most important collections of German Expressionist art. Hess was initially advised by Edwin Redslob (1884-1973), director of the Städtisches Museum in Erfurt (today the Angermuseum) from 1912 -1919. He started to collect Kirchner paintings by 1918 with the aim of giving them to the museum along with other works from his growing collection. In 1920, the art historian Walter Kaesbach (1879-1961) became the new director of the museum. He soon developed a close friendship with Hess that would result in the collector's continued financial support and loans to the museum. Nevertheless, Hess's name was never mentioned in the museum's annual reports. This was due to the strong antisemitism in and around Erfurt. Long before the National Socialists came to power, nationalistic groups in this area of Germany already started to harass Jews, especially collectors such as Hess, and disparaged modern works of art.
