SUMMARY:The Lives of Edith Hoffmann\, Art Historian
DESCRIPTION:Edith Hoffmann\, who lived for 108 ½ years\, 1907-2016\, was brought up in Germany and reached London in 1934. After four years of volunteering in various jobs\, her involvement in the exhibition “20th-Century German Art” led to her twelve-year employment at the Burlington Magazine\, to which she continued to contribute while accompanying her Israeli diplomat husband to various countries. She has been termed “the first woman editor of the Burlington”. She wrote the first book in English about Oskar Kokoschka. \nYonna Yapou-Kromholz\, daughter of Edith Hoffmann(-Yapou)\, is an art historian\, as was her mother.  After studying at the Courtauld Institute\, and a 15-year stint as curator at the Israel Museum\, Jerusalem\, she contributed exhibition reviews to Apollo Magazine from the United States. She is now living in Jerusalem. \n  \nImage: Edith Hoffmann\, 1950 \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:Esther Simpson: The True Story of her Mission to Save Scholars from Hitler's Persecution
DESCRIPTION:  \nBorn in Leeds in 1903 to Russian-Jewish emigrants\, as a young woman Esther Sinovitch (Simpson from 1933) stood out academically and musically. With a first-class degree from Leeds University\, she initially worked as a secretary in Paris\, Vienna and Geneva. But when Hitler assumed power in 1933\, she took a job in London at the Academic Assistance Council\, newly set up to rescue displaced German scholars. Over more than five decades\, her work for the Academic Assistance Council and its successor\, the Society for the Protection of Science and Learning\, ensured refuge for thousands of displaced academics worldwide and had a profound impact on twentieth-century science\, philosophy\, philology\, architecture and art history. By the end of her life\, Esther could count among her ‘children’\, as she called them\, sixteen Nobel Prize winners\, eighteen Knights\, seventy-four fellows of the Royal Society and thirty-four fellows of the British Academy. Her ‘children’ also made a major contribution to Allied victory in World War Two. \nSurprisingly\, she has remained a largely unknown historical figure. John Eidinow’s book is a study of Esther Simpson: who she was and how she lived\, what moved her to take up and never to relinquish her calling\, her impact on the world\, and the historical context that helped shape her achievements. \nJohn Eidinow has published three books with his co-author David Edmonds: Wittgenstein’s Poker\, Bobby Fischer Goes to War and Rousseau’s Dog and a novel\, Innocence to Die For. He was a presenter/interviewer for BBC Radio 4 and World Service radio\, working in news and current affairs and making documentaries on historical and contemporary issues. \nThe session will be chaired by writer David Herman. \n  \nImage: book cover \n  \nBooking link here
