SUMMARY:Jacques & Jacqueline Groag: Architect & Designer
DESCRIPTION:Isokon Gallery\, London\n  \nJacques Groag\, architect and furniture designer\, and Jacqueline Groag\, textile and pattern designer\, were two celebrated residents of the Isokon in the 1940s and early 1950s\, yet due to split residence between three countries\, which often did not communicate with each other in the 20th century\, the tremendous scope of work of these second-wave Viennese Modernists has only recently become known. \nThis exhibition covers their individual careers in Vienna and Czechoslovakia\, their lives as Jewish émigrés to London\, their collaborations\, and the couple’s unique contributions in Britain to postwar exhibitions\, monuments\, furniture and textile design. The Isokon exhibition describes the Groags’ remarkable range of contacts that included Josef Hoffman\, Ludwig Wittgenstein\, Adolf Loos and Trude Fleischmann\, while the display is copiously illustrated with many of their pre- and post-war works including commissions ranging from the Austrian Werkbundsiedlung\, to the Festival of Britain\, Gordon Russell\, Swan & Edgar\, Heal’s\, Colibri and Schiaparelli. Jacqueline\, some of whose original textiles are on show\, even created the fabric for a dress worn by the future Elizabeth II. \nThe book Two Hidden Figures of the Viennese Modern Movement by Ursula Prokop will be on sale at the Gallery throughout the season.

SUMMARY:Between Two Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Fred Uhlman\, Welsh Cottage\, 1958\nBuxton Museum and Art Gallery\, Buxton\nArt that shines a spotlight on a time when communities and artists were affected by war and persecution is on show at Buxton Museum and Art Gallery. \nBetween Two Worlds explores the early to mid-20th century when governments sought to impose Western society and religion\, depriving communities of their cultural identity. \nIn the turmoil of war artists were persecuted\, interned and displaced. They faced discrimination and prejudice when not conforming on religious beliefs\, racism or sexuality. \nBetween Two Worlds explores the art created during this tumultuous period featuring work by John Minton\, Fred Uhlman\, Josef Herman and Ben Enwonwu. It draws exhibits from Derbyshire County Council’s collection\, such as the bequest of Arto Funduklian\, the son of Armenian émigrés\, including work by Marc Chagall\, Duncan Grant and Wyndham Lewis.

SUMMARY:*Postponed* Their Safe Haven: Hungarian artists in Britain from the 1930s
DESCRIPTION:Self-portrait in the Studio\, 1941\, by George Buday. Oil on board. Imperial War Museum © the artist’s estate\nMercer Gallery\, Harrogate\nHungarian artists in Britain from the 1930s \nThe Treaty of Trianon\, signed at Versailles a century ago\, split Hungary apart as retribution for being on the losing side of the First World War. The move west began. This exhibition follows those who made their lives across the Channel\, further impelled by the Hitler threat. \nWork from private archives by Klara Biller\, Val Biro\, Lili Markus\, George Mayer-Marton and Jean-Georges Simon is seen alongside that of Charles Rosner\, who found a place among émigré publishers\, and George Buday\, who brought an international reputation for book illustration. \nLed by key works from national collections\, the exhibition offers an unusual opportunity to assess the contribution of Hungarian artists to British culture. \n  \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:Leave to Land: The Kitchener Camp Rescue\, 1939
DESCRIPTION:The Wiener Holocaust Library\, 29 Russell Square\, London\nThe Kitchener Camp has been largely forgotten today\, but in 1939 this derelict army base on the Kent coast became the scene of an extraordinary rescue in which 4\,000 men were saved from the Holocaust. The Leave to Land exhibition draws on materials collected for the Kitchener Camp Project (a unique online resource that brings together archival records and family treasures) and items from the Library’s own collections. \nDuring Kristallnacht in November 1938\, 25\,000 – 30\,000 Jewish men were arrested and incarcerated in concentration camps. They were subjected to starvation and torture\, and hundreds died or were killed. A condition of release from the camps was that the men had to undertake to leave Germany immediately. As country after country refused to take more refugees\, the Kitchener rescue began. It was funded and run by the same mainly Jewish aid organisations that funded and coordinated the Kindertransport and domestic service visa schemes. \nOfficial Kitchener records are scattered widely\, missing\, or have been destroyed\, but it is estimated that approximately 4\,000 men were rescued between February 1939 and the start of the Second World War in September 1939. The aim of the Kitchener Camp Project has been to rebuild this forgotten history by bringing together both scattered archival materials and the personal records kept for many decades by Kitchener refugees and their families.
