SUMMARY:Activism Through Art: Edith Tudor Hart in Britain
DESCRIPTION:Sociologist Larry Ray\, one of the contributors to the anthology Poverty for Sale: Edith Tudor Hart in Britain\, recently published by MuseumsEtc\, will give a talk about the life and work of photographer and committed communist Edith Tudor Hart. Born in Vienna\, she settled in the UK in 1933 and went on to produce a powerful body of images that bear witness to her profound sympathy for the young\, the underprivileged\, the disabled and displaced. \nThis major new publication\, described by one reviewer as “a reminder of the power of activism through art” and by another as an overdue “documentation of her important photographic contribution and her often tragic life”\, provides a comprehensive overview of the largely-unknown work of Edith Tudor Hart (1908-1973) during her forty years living in Britain. It is extensively illustrated with over 200 images (many published for the first time)\, original letters and documents held in leading international museums\, galleries and private collections – including pages from her recently discovered personal scrapbook. \nLarry Ray is Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the University of Kent. He has published and taught extensively on social theory and philosophy\, postcommunism\, the politics of Holocaust memory in Poland\, the sociology of violence\, and photographic aesthetics. His book Violence & Society was first published in 2011; the second revised edition appeared in 2018 and includes an analysis of violence and the visual. His article on ‘Social theory\, photography and the visual aesthetic’ published in Cultural Sociology in 2020 won the annual SAGE Prize for Innovation/Excellence. He has a long-standing interest in the photography of Edith Tudor Hart\, and his essay ‘Social Realism and Edith Tudor Hart’ is included in Poverty for Sale. \n\nImage: Edith Tudor Hart \n\nTo book\, click here.

SUMMARY:Comrades in Art – For Peace\, Democracy and Cultural Freedom
DESCRIPTION:In the autumn of 1933 a group of twenty-something largely unknown artists and designers felt impelled to begin organising against the threat of fascism and war. They determined to create a London-based artists’ auxiliary in support of progressive causes. \nWithin two years the Artists International Association had won the support of some of the best-known artists of the era from Laura Knight to Henry Moore and was staging the landmark exhibition Artists Against Fascism and War in Soho Square. By April 1937\, with a membership approaching a thousand\, the AIA organised the First British Artists Congress – an event that laid the groundwork for positive postwar developments. \nAndy Friend’s new book – Comrades in Art\, Artists Against Fascism 1933-43 sets the rich history of the AIA in a global context. In this talk he will discuss how recently re-discovered sources have shed new light on the role of political emigrés from its first founding meetings to the landmark For Liberty exhibition\, held in the spring of 1943. The young founders of the AIA succeeded in reaching upward generationally and outward politically to build a broadly based organisation with strong international links. In doing so they united artists of many different aesthetic persuasions in opposition to divisive populism\, authoritarianism and oppression – how they did so is a tale for our time. \nAndy Friend was involved in community politics in the 1970s and worked for the Greater London Council in the 1980s before becoming Chief Executive of the City of Melbourne in the 1990s. After returning from Australia\, he held senior positions in a number of major infrastructure organisations. In 2017 Andy published Ravilious & Co; the Pattern of Friendship and co-curated the eponymous Towner Gallery touring exhibition. In 2020 he wrote John Nash – The Landscape of Love and Solace (2020) and co-curated its accompanying Towner touring exhibition. Artists International – The First Decade\, curated by Andy\, is showing in the Marie-Louise von Motesiczky Archive Gallery at Tate Britain until March 2026. Comrades in Art – a more extensive exhibition – will open at the Towner Eastbourne on May 6th 2026. \nTo book\, click here.

SUMMARY:Hans Hess: The Goods have become the Gods
DESCRIPTION:To mark the recent publication by the Manifesto Press of Volume 3 of Hans Hess: Selected Writings\, Dr. Lucy Burke\, Academic Director of the new Hans Hess Foundation\, will introduce us to an important but hitherto under-examined art historian\, curator and left-wing cultural activist. \nBorn in Erfurt in 1908 into an affluent and cultured German-Jewish family (his father Alfred was the owner of a successful shoe-manufacturing company and an important collector of avant-garde art)\, Hans Hess spent a year at the Sorbonne before going to the USA\, familiarising himself with advertising techniques and the relatively new discipline of market research. \nPurged by the Nazis from his job at Berlin’s Ullstein publishers\, he left Germany in May 1933. He went first to Paris where he worked as an advertising copywriter\, then to London where he worked with John Heartfield in the Free German League of Culture and edited the magazines inside Nazi Germany and Germany Today. \nWar saw him interned in Canada before finding work as Deputy Keeper of Art at the Leicester Museums and Galleries\, moving in 1946 to be curator at York Art Gallery and also artistic director of the triennial York Festival. In 1967 Hess was appointed Reader in the History and Theory of Art at the new University of Sussex and wrote extensively on art history\, Marxism and visual culture. Most of these thought-provoking texts remained unpublished in his lifetime and were only rediscovered a few years ago. \nDr Lucy Burke works in the School of English at Manchester Metropolitan University. Her current research explores contemporary cultural and historical representations of disability and care – focusing specifically on dementia and learning disabilities – and the role of the arts in social justice. Forthcoming monographs: Why Should We Care (Manifesto Press)\, and Dementia Culture (Liverpool University Press). Her interest in Hans Hess returns her to her PhD which explored class and cultural politics in the interwar period. \n\nImage: Hans Hess: Selected Writings \n\nTo book\, click here.

SUMMARY:Kosher Giraffe Trilogy: A talk by Hugo Max
DESCRIPTION:‘There’s an old Jewish joke that giraffe meat would be kosher\, if only we knew where to cut the neck…’ \nIn his latest publication Austrian-British multidisciplinary artist Hugo Max explores the internment of his great-grandfather as an ‘enemy alien’ on the Isle of Man during the Second World War. \nThis book showcases a triptych of exploratory narrative films and accompanying projects that include documentaries\, paintings\, writings\, musical performances and collaborations that were created in the process of researching his family history. \nInspired by the creative spirit of the refugee community who were held in requisitioned hotels on the island\, these projects consider the intersection of fact and fiction in family memory and celebrate creativity as a source of cross-cultural communication and hope. \nTo mark the publication of his new book Kosher Giraffe Trilogy\, Max will share the journey of his research as the fourth-generation descendant of an internee and will discuss the featured films and paintings. \nHugo Max (b. 2002) is a British-Austrian filmmaker\, painter and musician. He graduated from The Ruskin School of Art / Magdalen College\, Oxford in 2023 with a degree in Fine Art and studied film at the Friedl Kubelka School for Independent Film\, Vienna. \nHis filmography as a writer-director includes Dissonance\, a short film observing a string quartet in rehearsal; he also performs live improvised scores to silent films on solo viola at venues across the UK. He has lectured on improvisation and multidisciplinary practice at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.\nHugo is the author of three books: Kosher Giraffe Trilogy (2024)\, The Dissonance Book (2023) and The Stanley Series(2020). \nImage: film still \nTo book\, click here.

SUMMARY:Käthe Schuftan\, ‘Prophetess of Spirit’: the rediscovery of a forgotten artist
DESCRIPTION:“She believed in creative energy . . . She has lived\, and always with her art and her great energy tried to provoke everybody else to live\, in the light of freedom\, in the light of spirit; and if\, therefore\, we could have a way of remembering her\, let us always remember her as a prophetess of spirit and of freedom. That is all that she would want from us.” \nFrom the eulogy given by Eugene Halliday at Käthe Schuftan’s funeral \nThis is the story of the German Jewish refugee artist Käthe Schuftan (born Breslau 1899) who arrived in Manchester in June 1939 after suffering greatly at the hands of the Nazis and having had much of her work destroyed. She became an important figure in the artistic community of Manchester\, teaching and inspiring young artists and exhibiting her work\, but following a retrospective organised by a close friend after her death\, her work disappeared and she was forgotten. But not by an eight year old child who\, over fifty years later\, discovered documents which led her to retrace Käthe’s steps\, meeting people who had bought her paintings which had eventually resurfaced decades after her death\, thus leading to the rediscovery of the life of this remarkable woman. \nHephzibah Yohannan is an artist and writer\, once the child who was eight years old when Käthe Schuftan died\, too soon\, in 1958. She is currently working on the biographies of Käthe and of her friend the artist\, writer and psychotherapist Eugene Halliday; and is the editor of the Halliday Review and of the Melchisedec Press\, an independent publisher. \nImage: Portrait of Käthe Schuftan by Eugene Halliday \n  \nTo book\, click here.

SUMMARY:I Had to Be Present: Oto Bihalji-Merin\, art historian\, editor\, publisher\, art critic and activist
DESCRIPTION:Oto Bihalji-Merin (1904-1993) was a Yugoslav-Jewish art historian\, editor\, publisher\, art critic and activist whose creative life fused multiple languages\, identities and cultures in response to the historical and political contexts of the 20th century and whose legacy lies in his advocacy for art that transcends formal training\, emphasizing human creativity and imagination. \nOto’s youth in Zemun and Berlin deeply shaped his leftist and anti-fascist ideas\, exposing him to avant-garde artistic movements such as Expressionism\, Dada and New Objectivity. In 1928\, with his brother Pavle Bihali\, he co-founded the left-wing publishing house Nolit and the magazine Nova Literatura (New Literature). After spending time in Spain and Paris\, Oto settled in Zürich in 1934\, where he wrote for Die Neue Weltbühne\, Die Deutsche Blätter\, and Savremeni Pogledi\, and associated with artists and writers such as Max Beckmann\, Max Bill\, Wolfgang Langhoff\, Stefan Zweig and Albert Einstein. In the late 1930s he was closely involved with the landmark exhibition Twentieth Century German Art\, shown in London in 1938\, and (under the pseudonym Peter Thoene) wrote the companion volume\, Modern German Art\, the first publication on this subject in English. \nAfter WW2\, Oto Bihalji-Merin wrote extensively about the works of naïve artists. His most famous book\, The World of Naïve Artists (1959)\, is considered to be a foundational text on the subject. He was involved in publishing and editing cultural magazines and books which played a crucial role in shaping the intellectual landscape of Yugoslavia in the mid 20th century. \nThis talk by its curators Senka Latinovic and Miroslav Karic\, introduced by London-based art historian Alexandra Lazar\, coincides with a major exhibition entitled Oto Bihalji-Merin: I Had to Be Present at the Museum of Naive and Marginal Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade. The exhibition celebrates the 120th anniversary of Bihalji-Merin’s birth and runs until 17 February. \nTo book\, click here \nImage: Portrait of Oto Bihalji-Merin\, Photo: Tošo Dabac\, Archive of the Salon Oto Bihalji-Merin

SUMMARY:Charlotte Mayer (1929-2022) - The Spiral of Life
DESCRIPTION:This talk\, given by the sculptor’s daughter\, Antonia Salmon who is also an artist\, will explore Charlotte Mayer’s early years growing up in Prague and the impact on her life of her experience of being a child refugee when she came to the UK in 1939 at the age of ten. Antonia will also discuss the influence on her mother’s approach to life of her creative and dynamic grandmother. Charlotte’s deep interest in and practice of meditation\, combined with her studies of nature\, led her to produce abstract forms that have dynamism and stillness in their apparent simplicity. Many of her sculptures were a healing response to life challenges. She will explore Charlotte’s working methods and materials and how these translated into the production of bronze and stainless works for private and public commissions. \nAntonia Salmon is an internationally renowned ceramic artist. Brought up in a household dedicated to modern sculpture and architecture\, her childhood was infused with an awareness of form and space. She studied Geography and Geology at Sheffield University\, and later attended Harrow School of Art as a studio potter. A year spent studying in the Middle East and India made a deep impression and after returning to England in 1985 she established her first workshop in London. In the late 1980s\, she returned to Sheffield where she still lives and works.\nThis talk forms part of the events programme – organised in partnership with Insiders/Outsiders – accompanying the Fred Kormis exhibition at the Wiener Holocaust Library\, which runs until 6 February 2025. \nTo book\, click here \nImage: Charlotte Mayer with two of her sculptures\, c.1990 © Steve Russell

SUMMARY:Arthur Fleischmann (1896-1990): A New Life in the UK
DESCRIPTION:The sculptor Arthur Fleischmann was born into a Jewish family in Bratislava. He studied medicine in Budapest and Prague and qualified as a medical doctor – where in parallel he started his sculpture studies under Professor Jan Štursa. Immediately after qualifying as a doctor\, he turned his attention and energy fully to sculpture. He left Europe in the mid-1930s and\, following periods living and working in Bali and Australia\, returned to Europe in 1948\, where he settled in London and began to establish himself. His work was championed by Sir Charles Wheeler\, and despite cultural prejudices\, he was elected a Fellow of the Society of British Sculptors. \nIn this talk Dominique Fleischmann will give an overview of his father’s career in London\, his use of Perspex as a sculptural medium\, and focus on public commissions for World Expos and the Festival of Britain. Among the latter were commissions for four sculptures at the Brussels World Exhibition in 1958 – two for the British Pavilion and two for the Vatican Pavilion. He and his young wife Joy spent a year on site in Brussels working to install the sculptures. The majority of his efforts were spent erecting the 40 foot high aluminium Resurrection. \nDominique Fleischmann\, son of the sculptor\, is a trustee of the Arthur Fleischmann Foundation and was instrumental both in setting up the Arthur Fleischmann Museum in Bratislava in 2002 and in publishing the book Bali in the 1930s: Photographs and Sculptures by Arthur Fleischmann in 2007. He has supported his mother Joy in the staging of numerous exhibitions and events since the death of Arthur Fleischmann in 1990. He has developed the Arthur Fleischmann Digital Archive that aims to provide a definitive catalogue of all Arthur Fleischmann sculptures\, drawings\, paintings and photographs around the world. In the last four years\, he has digitized the thousands of letters and photographs in his father’s archive that were recently acquired by Tate. \nDominique will be joined by sculpture expert Joanna Barnes\, who curated the exhibition ‘Arthur Fleischmann: a centennial celebration’ at the Mestke Múzeum in Bratislava in 1996 and helped establish the Arthur Fleischmann Museum there in 2002. A former trustee of the Public Monuments and Sculpture Association\, Joanna was editor of its online magazine\, 3rd Dimension and co-founder of the Sculpture Journal. Co-founder of The Public Statues and Sculpture Association (PSSA)\, she is currently its co-chair. \nThis talk forms part of the events programme – organised in partnership with Insiders/Outsiders – accompanying the Fred Kormis exhibition at the Wiener Holocaust Library\, which runs until 6 February 2025. \n  \nTo book\, click here \n  \nImage: Arthur Fleischmann\, 1972.

SUMMARY:Insight and Observation: The Life and Work of Gerda Rubinstein (1931-2022)
DESCRIPTION:Gerda Rubinstein was born in Berlin in 1931 to a Christian mother and a Jewish father. The family moved to Amsterdam in 1933\, but her father was taken by the Nazi regime and later died in Monowitz. Gerda first worked in a pottery and then in the studio of Wessel Couzijn. She attended the Rijks Academie\, gaining a grant which enabled her to study in Paris under Ossip Zadkine. Returning to Amsterdam she was awarded her first public sculpture commissions. \nHaving visited Jerusalem where she met Ada Karmi Melamede\, Gerda came to London in 1958 where she met her husband-to-be\, Christopher Stevens\, who had studied architecture at the Architectural Association with Ram Karmi. From the late 1960s onwards\, she was particularly active in Essex\, receiving numerous commissions for public sculptures from the Harlow Arts Trust and for the Gibberd Garden\, Harlow\, including a portrait of architect\, town planner\, landscape architect and art collector Sir Frederick Gibberd. Gerda’s warmly humanist\, naturalistic sculptures remain very popular in Harlow – familiar and well-appreciated\, they inspire real affection. \nAs Gerda herself explained: “My sculptures are almost always of people\, getting my inspiration from where I live. I have also made portraits and modelled birds and animals. I hope that the work\, which is generally figurative\, will be self-explanatory without the need for titles. I have come to realise that the sense of freedom and hope that I experienced as a teenager in Holland\, after five years of occupation in World War II\, has really never left me and that it still colours my work”. \nRoger Lee of Parndon Mill in Harlow\, who exhibited her work and knew Gerda personally\, will be in conversation with Monica Bohm-Duchen\, art historian and founding director of Insiders/Outsiders\, to introduce us to the touching life story and artistic evolution of this still little-known woman émigré sculptor. \nBooking link here

SUMMARY:Painting Trauma: The Story of Heinz Inlander (1925-83)
DESCRIPTION:Fragments of experience can be brought together by colour and shape\, form and canvas\, but also by craft and an intense awareness of painting as one of the foundations upon which humans build their understanding of the cultures and environments they inhabit. For Austrian-born Henry (born Heinz) Inlander\, who settled in England in 1938\, paintings of landscapes brought the richness of the physical world into contact with human vision\, memory and the imagination. It was also his way of exploring the trauma of his family history\, especially the loss of family in the Holocaust. \nHenry Inlander painted the eruption of the real world onto the canvas\, and this is best exemplified by his early drawings and paintings which explored everything from the textures of trees to the shape of a mountain against the sky. As an artist he was obsessed by the transformative power of art and by an inner impulse that made it impossible to live without creating\, imagining and recreating the world that he loved. \nDr. Ron Burnett\, Inlander’s nephew\, was born in London. He was President and Vice-Chancellor of Emily Carr University of Art and Design\, Vancouver\, from 1996-2018 and is now its President Emeritus. He is a recipient of the Order of Canada as well as the Order of British Columbia and has been recognized with a Knighthood by the French Government. He is the author of five books (including Explorations in Film Theory and How Images Think) and over one hundred and fifty articles. \nBooking details here

SUMMARY:Mid-European Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Andrea Lehmann\, senior researcher and associate director of restitution at Christie’s\, Brussels\, will talk about her ongoing researches into the tactfully named Mid-European Art Exhibition held at Leicester Museum and Art Gallery in 1944 – 80 years ago this year. In fact\, this was an extraordinary project with a remarkable history\, an exhibition of world-class avant-garde German art condemned by the Nazis as ‘degenerate’ held in a provincial gallery in wartime Britain and organised largely by the Free German League of Culture\, set up by refugees from Nazi persecution.\nAs the impassioned Foreword to the modest catalogue put it: “The instability of the period is reflected in the paintings… The rise of Hitlerism destroyed the schools and the spirit\, exiled and oppressed the men and their works. Modern art was persecuted. Here we can only show and judge what was attempted before this catastrophe overtook the creative spirit of a continent… We wish to thank all those who have loaned their pictures… and rescued them from certain destruction.” \nAndrea will explain how she set about reconstructing this remarkable and still too little-known exhibition\, and will be joined by Simon Lake\, former Curator of Fine Art at Leicester Museum and Art Gallery\, who will set the exhibition in its local context\, focussing on the links between the German-Jewish Hess family and Leicester\, and the role of British curator Trevor Thomas. \n  \nTo book\, click here

SUMMARY:Memorials\, Past and Present: Caren Garfen in conversation with Monica Bohm-Duchen
DESCRIPTION:London-based Caren Garfen is an award-winning artist specialising in textiles and meticulous hand stitching underpinned by extensive research. When these facets are combined\, the artworks transcend their materiality\, transforming them into powerful dialogues that explore and reflect upon the pressing issues that resonate within our society. Since 2019\, Caren has been delving into themes concerning the Holocaust and examining the troubling resurgence of global antisemitism in the 21st century. Her recent works have been exhibited in Australia\, Bulgaria\, Canada\, Germany\, Latvia and the UK. \nIn conversation with Insiders/Outsiders founding director\, art historian Monica Bohm-Duchen\, Caren will explore artworks crafted over the past five years\, motivated by her urgent mission to memorialise those murdered during the Holocaust and beyond. One of these\, the 2021 project Fragments – which examines the fashion and textile industry in Berlin in the 1930s\, and the impact of Nazi policies of that period on Jewish clothing manufacturers\, designers\, design houses and fashion stores – acts as a dark backdrop to the theme of Fashion City: How Jewish Londoners shaped global style\, the exhibition currently showing at the Museum of London Docklands until 14 April. \nPrompted by the devastating events of the 7 October 2023 massacre of Israelis\, and the disturbing surge in antisemitism\, Caren has recognised the necessity of continuously updating and stitching many of her pieces in real time and will delve into the significance of documenting our recent history through a closer examination of selected works. \nImage: Fragments (detail)\, 2021 \n  \nBooking link here

SUMMARY:Peter László Péri (1889-1967) - Péri's People
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition “Peter László Péri – Péri’s People” at the Gerhard-Marcks-Haus in Bremen (which runs from 10 March to 2 June 2024\, and is organized in cooperation with Kunsthaus Dahlem in Berlin)\, draws attention to a fascinating sculptor who contradicts the common narrative of modern art in the 20th century. He began as a constructivist and ended as a figurative artist. Yet he was not a traditional academic sculptor but combined the achievements of the avant-garde with a socialist-influenced idea of realism. \nPéri was born Ladislas Weisz in Budapest in 1889. Peri became the Hungarianized family name in 1918. In 1919 he participated in the Hungarian soviet republic\, and in 1920 settled in Berlin. At the beginning of 1933\, as a Jew and Communist\, he had to leave Germany and moved to London with his second\, English\, wife. These brief facts reveal a biography typical of all too many Jewish artists in early 20th century Europe\, and they also explain why so many of these artists remain overlooked. Despite all the methodological innovations of the discipline\, art history is still written primarily according to national patterns. And artists who were forced to move through Europe fall through the cracks. Hungarian and German art history is mostly interested in Péri before 1933\, while English art history focuses on the artist after 1933. This lecture by Arie Hartog will present the results of recent research on Péri and represents a more holistic approach. \n  \nDr. Arie Hartog has been the director of the Gerhard-Marcks-Haus in Bremen since 2009\, having previously worked there as a curator. Since 2013 he has been the chair of the AG Bildhauermuseen and Skulpturensammlungen\, the German working group for sculptor museums and sculpture collections. His research focus is the history of sculpture in the 20th century and the posthumous afterlife of modernist sculpture. \nImage: Peter László Péri\, Reflections\, mid-1960s (detail) © The Estate of Peter László Péri \n  \nBooking link here

SUMMARY:Tribute to Mira Hamermesh
DESCRIPTION:In the centenary year of her birth\, Jeremy Coopman will pay tribute to his mother\, the remarkable Polish-born film maker and artist Mira Hamermesh\, who spent most of her working life in England. The event will be chaired by David Herman. \nMira Hamermesh was born in July 1923 in Lodz\, Poland into a comfortable middle-class Jewish family\, the youngest of three children. Mira was 16 when the German invaded Poland in September 1939. She and her brother Mietek decided to go to Palestine to join their sister. Her parents stayed in Lodz: her mother died of starvation in the Lodz ghetto in 1942; her father perished in Auschwitz in 1944. \nMira and her brother escaped to Lvov in Soviet-occupied Poland where they were separated. Mira reached Vilnius in Lithuania in 1940. Her sister Genia\, who had emigrated in 1938\, procured her an entry visa to Palestine and she finally reached Palestine in 1941 where she was reunited with her sister. Her brother reached Palestine in 1943. Mira won a British Council scholarship to study at the Slade School of Fine Art and moved to London in 1946. \nIn 1961\, Mira was accepted into the Polish National Film School in Lodz. In 1968 she was invited to help set up Israel Television and produced several documentaries for the fledgling broadcaster\, including the much praised ‘The Fighters of the Ghetto’ about a kibbutz set up by Holocaust survivors in northern Israel. \nThe mid-80s to the early 90s saw Hamermesh’s most creative period\, including several acclaimed documentaries for Channel 4. Her final film\, ‘Loving the Dead’ (BBC TV\, 1991)\, was a deeply moving exploration of how present-day Poles live with the ghosts of their missing Jewish neighbours. \nMira Hamermesh died in 2012. In 2014 the BFI celebrated her life and works with a short retrospective introduced by Jeremy Isaacs\, founding father of Channel 4 and one of her greatest advocates. \n  \nBooking link here\nImage: Josef Herman: Portrait of Mira Hamermesh

DESCRIPTION:Freud family\, 1898 (Front row: Sophie\, Anna and Ernst; middle row: Oliver and Martha\, plus Minna Bernays; back row: Martin and Sigmund)\nThursday 6 October at 1pm will see the first of a weekly series of events marking the centenary of the birth of celebrated artist\, who came to this country from Berlin with his immediate family in 1933. This first event is an online talk by historian Helen Fry\, based on her fascinating book Freud’s War; the second\, on Thursday 13 October at 2.30pm\, is an in-person guided tour of  the exhibition\, Lucian Freud: The Painter and his Family\, currently on at the Freud Museum\, London; the third\, on Thursday 20 October at 1pm\, an online talk by Elizabeth Lamle about Freud’s very early work and correspondence; the fourth\, on Thursday 27 Octoberat 2.30pm\, an in-person visit to the major Freud retrospective at the National Gallery\, preceded by an introductory lecture by art historian Monica Bohm-Duchen. \n\nLunchtime Lecture: Freuds’ War \nHistorian Dr Helen Fry charts the story of the Freud family following their departure from Austria as refugees during World War II. Despite his worldwide reputation as the father of modern psychology\, Sigmund Freud’s security in his native Vienna changed overnight when Hitler’s forces annexed Austria in 1938. It was after becoming refugees that the Freuds’ story took a fascinating turn. Following their dramatic escape from Austria\, Sigmund’s son Martin and grandson Walter enlisted in the British Forces. In 1943\, Walter volunteered for Special Operations Executive\, a secret British World War II organisation\, which sent him back to Austria to spy behind enemy lines. \nDr Fry has written over 25 books\, including Spymaster: The Man Who Saved MI6\, Churchill’s German Army\, and the bestselling The Walls Have Ears: The Greatest Intelligence Operation of WWII. Freuds’ War draws on previously unpublished family archives and photographs\, including excerpts from Sigmund’s diary\, to give an insight into the renowned family’s life in both pre-war Vienna and WWII Britain. \nThe series is organised jointly by Insiders/Outsiders\, Jewish Renaissance magazine and the Lyons Learning Project. \n  \nFor further details and to book\, click here. \nImage: Reflection with Two Children (Self-Portrait)\, detail\, 1965 © The Lucian Freud Archive

SUMMARY:Jussuf Abbo – re-constructing the life and work of a forgotten artist
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Dorothea Schöne about Jussuf\, Abbo\, a fascinating but still too little-known émigré artist\, who died in London in 1953. \nOn Tuesday 14 June at 6pm UK time\, Berlin-based curator and art historian Dorothea Schöne will give an online talk about sculptor Jussuf Abbo. Born in Safed\, Abbo moved to Germany in 1911\, where he established a reputation for himself as a portrait sculptor and printmaker and an active member of the Berlin artistic avant-garde. In 1935\, however\, he was forced to flee Germany\, and moved to England\, where – despite a network of well-wishers and supporters – he struggled to re-establish his artistic career. He died in obscurity in London in 1953. Dorothea’s talk will focus on his London years\, shedding light on the networks and protagonists engaged in supporting the exiled artist. \nTo book\, click here. \nImage: Jussuf Abbo: Head of a Black Man\, c. 1939.Estate Jussuf Abbo\, Brighton/ England.
