Saturday, 14 June 2008. Wierusz-Kowalski, Wolf, um 1885. Öl auf Pappe, 30 x 68 cm. Muzeum Okregowe w Suwalkach (Bezirksmuseum Suwalki). Ausgestellt im Rahmen der Ausstellung "200 Jahre Kunstakademie München", Haus der Kunst. Ein eher kleines Gemälde, keineswegs lebensgroß, aber unglaublich faszinierend. Wartet einfach nur. Und dennoch geht von dem Bild eine seltsam beunruhigende Stimmung aus. Ist damit nicht einfach nur. Thursday, 5 June 2008. Albin Egger-Lienz Ausstellung, Museum Leopold, Wien. In den i...

Sunday, 29 April 2012. Mosaics by Puhl and Wagner. Since their formation in 1889, the Berlin company Puhl and Wagner was one of the most important companies for glass mosaics and glass windows in Germany. By manufacturing their own mosaic pieces in their glass factory and by developing a new technique of laying the small mosaic pieces they were able to reduce the manufacturing costs considerably and, in consequence, to establish their market leadership. Signet of Puhl and Wagner, mosaic of Fritz Dernburg.

Randzeichnungen: Landscapes of Melancholy - German Art Nouveau Landscape Illustrations
http://randzeichnungen.blogspot.com/2009/10/landscapes-of-melancholy-german-art.html
Saturday, 10 October 2009. Landscapes of Melancholy - German Art Nouveau Landscape Illustrations. Years back I stumbled upon an article comparing the art of the Romantic period in France and Germany. The author concluded that the French Romantic art tended to celebrate the "savoir vivre" while the German Romanticists revelled in the "savoir mourir". This idea (though not to be generalised) is rather intriguing. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Hugo L. Braunes Dietrich von Bern (Theodoric t.

Sunday, 31 October 2010. Dreaming of One Thousand and One Nights. In 1923, Ernst Rosenbaum (alias: Ernst Roenau) published his adaptation of "One Thousand and One Nights" (Vienna, Munk) with magnificent illustrations by Rosa Rosà . Probably around the same time the book was also published in Chicago by Julius Wisotzki. Just as Fernande Biegler. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Dreaming of One Thousand and One Nights.

Saturday, 12 April 2008. Waldmüller, Die erschöpfte Kraft, 1854. Öl/Lw, 63 x 75,5 cm. Signatur: bez. rechts unten: "Waldmüller 1854". Bedenkt man, dass die meisten der Waldmüllerschen Gemälde Porträts oder Genrebilder weitestgehend idyllischer Natur sind, sonnenbefleckte Landschaften und glückliche Bauernkinder oder anderes ländliches Volk, erstaunt das Gemälde in seinem untypischen, schockierenden Realismus. Und so macht das Bild vor allem eines: neugierig auf Waldmüller. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sunday, 11 January 2009. Mourners in Stone - Graveyard Sculpture. When wandering through cemeteries in Germany or Austria that date back to the 19th and early 20th century, one cannot fail to observe that most of the figurative sculptures are anonymous mourning women or equally sad looking (guardian) angels who look decidedly female as well. The mourning women bemoan the dead in place of the remaining family and - at the same time, and cast in iron and sculptued in stone - remember the dead throughout al...

Wednesday, 14 May 2008. Fairy Tales and Christian Values. The first frescoes were executed 1922-25 by the artist Throll who chose the fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel. By the Brothers Grimm to decorate a children's home that was founded by a local friendly society that cared for children orphaned in the First World War. The frescoes depict one of the most generous donors - the opera singer Marie Mattfeld - in the center of the composition and - grouped around that - the scenes of the fairy tale. As before...

Sunday, 19 October 2008. Clarkson Stanfield - "Staging" Landscape. In 19th century Europe landscape painting was highly en vogue. The tourist who wanted to be reminded of the "highlights" of his travels when he was back home became the new customer for the travelling artist. To him the arist sold his pictures on site or back home. This market was exploited rather quickly by publishers who provided the interested buyer with albums and illustrated books. In this context, Clarkson Frederick Stanfield. The 1...
