  1. The Jeweller Karl Krall -- Otto Dix -- 1923 -- Oil on canvas -- Kunst und Museumsverien im Von der Heydt-Museum, Wuppertal.

    According to the 2006 exhibition catalogue "Glitter and Doom: German Portraits from the 1920s", Krall was not only, as a chamber music amateur, musical, but was also "musical", to use the term used in 1920s British English to describe gay men.

    The catalogue entry suggests that beneath Krall's jacket, "there must be a corset that is much too tight. Severe discomfort makes the blood rush to Krall's face, turning it purple-red with bluish accents. Veins on his forehead seem ready to pop."

    As with so many of the other portraits, I find myself fascinated by this picture. Is Dix's depiction of the hour glass figured jeweller a frank depiction of Krall's style in foundation garments, or does it function as the painter's possibly contemptuous verdict on male homosexuality?

  10. A Personal Commentary on Otto Dix’s Portrait of the Journalist Sylvia von Harden

    This 1926 portrait by Otto Dix stands as one of the most audacious depictions of the “New Woman.” It captures not only Sylvia’s individuality but also the cultural shifts of a transforming era.

    From symbolism to societal critique, this piece remains relevant nearly a century later.

  16. Die Journalistin Sylvia von Harden
    a) im Bildnis von Otto Dix (1926),
    b) als Journalistin im WDR (!) (1931) und
    c) eine Wiederbegegnung von Modell und Bild 1961 in Paris.
    😲
    Ich finde das SEHR schön.

  17. Otto Dix hat in den 50er Jahren für die Petruskirche in Kattenhorn Glasfenster entworfen, die 65 Jahre später wenig an Aktualität verloren haben:

    Nach dem 2. Weltkrieg suchten Flüchtlinge am Bodensee einen Neuanfang. Otto Dix wurde beauftragt, ihre Kirche zu gestalten.

    Dix selbst hatte als von den Nazis verfemter Künstler selbst in den 30er Jahren hier Zuflucht gesucht & kannte somit die Lage der Geflüchteten.
