Käthe Kollwitz seen at @staatlichemuseenzuberlin recently... It is shown within the current special exhibition ‚Fighting for Visibility. Women Artists in the Nationalgalerie before 1919‘ • Käthe Kollwitz, Lovers II, 1913 😍 This artwork was one of the most fascinating for me. And it reminded me of Rodin, whose work I had also seen here in Berlin a while ago. And it was Auguste Rodin who called upon women artists to seize the opportunity in Paris: ‚Women artists have their freedom. Let them profit from it!‘ (also found in the exhibition). 👉 About the exhibition (from my earlier post): Some of the artworks have never been shown to the public before, others were lent and vanished: reconstructions of those are also part of the exhibition. Besides wonderful pieces of art of course this exhibition is all about the tough circumstances, at some points still shocking, that made it so hard for female artists. „By the beginning of the 19th century, a few women had succeeded in building up exceptional careers within a predominantly male art establishment. However, by mid-century restrictions had intensified for women artists and they were often denied access to art academies, fellowships and grants, as well as to important commissions.“ (Staatliche Museen zu Berlin). So, when wondering through the halls, I felt an atmosphere of desperation. The exhibition will be on view until 8 March 2020. If in Berlin, don’t miss it! #berlin #museum #art #altenationalgalerie #womenartists #fightingforvisibility About today... Strolled through @albertinamuseum with @fuchsi_adventure and we detected this one for the first time - and we loved it. Thanks to @madamefaction for hosting us! 🦇 Take care and good night... 😴🌙💤 Franz Sedlacek, Twilight Song, 1931 #neuesachlichkeit #sammlungbatliner #albertinamuseum Today’s post for @kunsthistorischesmuseumvienna by #kunstfueruns 👉Watch your head, please! 😱 When strolling through ‘Caravaggio & Bernini’ we see bloodied figures and severed heads instead of eroticising beauties. Themes that are depicted time and again include Judith with the head of Holofernes and David with the head of Goliath. These scenes had frequently been depicted before the times of Caravaggio and Bernini. But their intensity was new: Look at Caravaggio‘s David, who is holding Goliath‘s bloodied head towards us in his outstretched hand, frightening and horrifying us onlookers. But Caravaggio‘s successors knew no mercy either: Have a look at the following depictions of David with the head of Goliath: 💪 Antonio d’Enrico, called Tanzio da Varallo, shows David like a contemporary ‘superhero’, don’t you think? We cannot look away from the tense musculature of the exaggeratedly elongated arm in the foreground. The hyper-masculine hero is about to lift up the head which he has just severed from Goliath’s body. 🙌 And Valentin de Boulogne placed the figures in almost startling proximity in the foreground of the picture. The young David is facing us directly from the centre. But he is gazing past us, making a contemplative, even troubled impression. Don’t miss to look at these masterpieces side by side. They have come from Italy and Spain to be on view together now at #kunsthistorischesmuseum #vienna. ✨ Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (Milan 1571 – 1610 Porto Ercole) David with the Head of Goliath, Rome, c. 1600/1601, Poplar, 90.5 × 116 cm, Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum © KHM-Museumsverband • Antonio d’Enrico, called Tanzio da Varallo (Alagna Valsesia c. 1575/80–c. 1632/33 Varallo Sesia) David with the Head of Goliath Varallo Sesia, c. 1620, Canvas, 120 × 90 cm, Varallo, Palazzo dei Musei – Pinacoteca Inv. no. 689 @palazzodeimusei • Valentin de Boulogne (Coulommiers-en-Brie 1591–1632 Rome), David with the Head of Goliath, Rome, c. 1615/16

Gropius appointed Hannes Meyer to take over the architecture department of the #Bauhaus from April 1927 on. Meyer was Master of architecture until March 1928. He then became Bauhaus director (also on Gropius' wish) and head of the building department until July 1930. Hannes Meyer reorganised the school almost completely. During his directorship he placed the Bauhaus on a contemporary footing. Social and scientific criteria became equally important components of the design process. Workshop activities were no longer based on primary colours and elementary forms. Now it was all about questions of utility, economy and social target group. Meyer integrated scientific knowledge and social understanding into every workshop. Overall, Meyer succeeded in greatly increasing student work motivation. Together with Hans Wittwer, whom he had appointed to the Bauhaus, and the school’s building department, Meyer produced his most important work: the German Trades Union school in Bernau, near Berlin (1928–1930). • Following his politically motivated dismissal from the Bauhaus in 1930, Meyer was appointed as professor at the WASI architectural college in Moscow. As a result of his politically motivated isolation, he returned to Switzerland, where he built the Mümfiswil children’s home from 1936 to 1939. He worked as an architect and town planner in various institutions in Mexico from 1939 to 1949, and finally as publishing house director. In 1949 he returned to Switzerland, where he died in 1954 in Crocifisso di Savosa, Lugano. Despite producing only a few works, Meyer was one of the most important Functionalists in the architecture of the twenties.
