SUMMARY:Leonhard Adam: ‘Dunera Boy’\, Lawyer\, Anthropologist and Artist
DESCRIPTION:Leonhard Adam\, Tatura Camp\, Australia\, 1942\nOnline Talk \n\nBorn in Berlin in 1891\, Leonhard Adam was rising to prominence as a judge and an expert on international tribal law and culture when the Nazis’ enforcement of a law in 1933 aryanizing all the professions stripped him of his position. Receiving a warning that his name had appeared on a list of academics to be “liquidated”\, he left Berlin for London. This was in 1938. \nAdam had been visiting Britain and lecturing at colleges\, universities and at the Royal Anthropological Institute since 1934\, which meant that he had established an invaluable network of connections. This enabled him to find a job in the UK and to continue to give lectures. During this time he was also working on his best-selling Penguin book\, Primitive Art\, published in 1942. \nHe was\, in fact\, in the process of re-establishing himself in Britain when he was arrested\, interned and sent into exile on the “Dunera” in 1940 – the ship which sailed from Liverpool to Australia\, overloaded with 2\,500 refugee internees\, Nazi prisoners and crew in catastrophic conditions. \nArriving in Australia\, Adam was interned at Tatura\, in northern Victoria. There he and other academic internees founded a university called “Collegium Taturensis”. He was released after a year and a half to teach at The University of Melbourne\, as well as to document the Sir Baldwin Spencer Collection of Aboriginal Objects at the National Museum of Victoria. Fluent in several languages including Punjabi and Mandarin Chinese\, he would also become the first teacher of Mandarin at The University of Melbourne. \nMuch of his life experiences have also been documented in his paintings\, including pictures of Tatura internment camp\, the dramatic scenery of Central Australia and\, much earlier\, delightful sketches and paintings of London. \nIn her talk\, Mary-Clare Adam\, Leonard’s daughter\, will highlight the dramatic events in his life on two continents before and after the two World Wars. \nTo book\, click here.

SUMMARY:Hope after catastrophe: The Art of Dante Elsner
DESCRIPTION:Online Event \n\nArtist potter and painter\, Dante Elsner (1920-1997)\, escaped the rounding up of Jews in Poland during the war years\, and survived by hiding in the forest after his family were murdered in two different death camps. After the war\, on the point of suicide in Paris\, he came across Rembrandt’s portrait of Hendrickje Stoffels in the Louvre. He later said that this painting saved his life: he saw the love with which Rembrandt had painted this woman\, and it convinced him that there was a reason to fight to live. \nHe devoted the rest of his life to painting and to studio pottery\, in Paris (1948-58) and in London (1958-1997). Inspired by the teachings of George Gurdjieff\, aspects of Sufism\, Jewish mysticism and Zen Buddhism\, Dante developed an art practice involving a series of daily meditations and spiritual exercises\, and a life philosophy that offered an alternative to despair. Always mistrustful of authorities and institutions – as he learned in the forest that to trust anyone was to end up dead – he did not exhibit his work. It has remained\, despite recent efforts by the Elsner family\, largely unknown\, kept in two sheds near their family home in Oxford. \nThe talk will be given by Dante’s granddaughter\, Maia Elsner\, whose debut poetry collection\, overrun by wild boars (forthcoming with flipped eye in July 2021) explores the nature of intergenerational memory in the context of trauma\, and gestures towards healing through the possibilities of hope. \nTo book\, click here.

SUMMARY:Huguenot Refugee Art and Culture
DESCRIPTION:William Hogarth\, Noon\, (detail)\, 1738\nOnline Event \n\nHistorian and curator Tessa Murdoch will examine the extraordinary international networks resulting from the diaspora of more than 200\,000 refugees who left France in the late 17th century to join communities already in exile spread far and wide. First-generation Huguenot refugees included hundreds of trained artists\, designers\, and craftsmen. Beyond the French borders\, they raised the quality of design and workshop practice\, passing on skills to their apprentices; sons\, godsons\, cousins\, and to successive generations\, who continued to dominate output in the luxury trades. \nAlthough silver and silks are the best-known fields with which Huguenot settlers are associated\, their significant contribution to architecture\, ceramics\, design\, clock and watchmaking\, engraving\, furniture\, woodwork\, sculpture\, portraiture\, and art education provides fascinating insight into the motivation and resolve of this highly skilled diaspora. Thanks to a sophisticated network of Huguenot merchants\, retailers\, and bankers who financed their production\, their wares reached a global market. \nDr.Tessa Murdoch FSA is Research Curator\, Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection\, Victoria and Albert Museum. Tessa has forty years curatorial experience at the Museum of London from 1981 and at the V&A since 1990. Tessa is a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries\, a trustee of the Huguenot Museum\, Rochester and of the Idlewild Trust. Her forthcoming book Huguenot Refugee Art and Culture 1530-1780 will be published by the V&A in November. \nThe event will be chaired by Robert Winder\, author of Bloody Foreigners: The Story of Immigration to Britain  and trustee of the Migration Museum\, London. \nTo book\, click here. \n

SUMMARY:A Jewish Jesus: Art and Faith in the Shadow of World War II
DESCRIPTION:Hans Feibusch\, Crucifixion\, 1951 (detail)\, St.John’s Church\, Waterloo\nConference (face-to-face\, with online option) \n\nA groundbreaking one-day conference called ‘A Jewish Jesus: Art and Faith in the Shadow of World War II’. \nThis is being organised by St. John’s Waterloo\, home to two major paintings by émigré artist Hans Feibusch\, in association with Insiders/Outsiders and Art+Christianity. \nHow did a German-Jewish refugee artist come to be responsible for more murals in Church of England churches than any other artist in its entire history? Who were the other Jewish artists employed by the Church or using Christian iconography in the post-war period? And what has become of their work today? Do these artists deserve greater recognition and what can be done to save their works\, many of which are under threat? \nUsing Feibusch as a starting point\, the conference will address the broader theme of Jewish artists who produced work for the Church and/or employed Christian iconography during the 1930s-1950s\, a period dominated by the rise of Fascism\, World War Two and the Holocaust\, in which the figure of Jesus was often seen (by Jews and non-Jews alike) as the embodiment of contemporary Jewish suffering. \nTo book\, click here.\n \n\nConference participants may like to purchase Insiders/Outsiders: Refugees from Nazi Europe and their Contribution to British Visual Culture\, edited by Monica Bohm-Duchen\, at a discount of 20% until 31st July. \nLund Humphries\nCode: INOUT20 \n
