Friedrich Nietzsche and the Artists of the New Weimar
"Around 1900, a small group of influential patrons, critics, writers, and artists turned Weimar, the capital of the small Duchy of Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach in present-day Germany, into a utopian centre of modern art and thought. Artists like Max Klinger, Edvard Munch, and Ludwig von Hofmann, and writers like André Gide, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, and Rainer Maria Rilke sought to create a 'New Weimar and position Friedrich Nietzsche at its head as the radical prophet of modernity. Nietzsche's profound thinking, expressive language, and poignant aphoristic style made him the ideal philosopher of modernism. It is only as an aesthetic phenomenon that existence and the world are eternally justified. ...

Zeichnungssammlungen in Wien und Mitteleuropa
Die Beiträge in diesem Band beleuchten die Entstehung von bedeutenden Zeichnungssammlungen in Wien und Mitteleuropa, die heute vielfach den Grundstock der großen Kabinette etwa in Wien, Berlin, Dresden und Hamburg bilden. Sie fragen nach den Akteuren, ihren internationalen Verflechtungen und ihren Motivationen, nach besonderen Sammlungsschwerpunkten und Erwerbungsstrategien wie nach Aufbewahrung und Ordnungssystemen. Die mediale Verbreitung der Sammlungen im Reproduktionsstich oder durch Katalogwerke kommt ebenso zur Sprache wie Strukturen des Kunst- und Aktionshandels und das Zusammenspiel von Sammeln, Kennerschaft und Zeichnungswissenschaft. Der Band zeigt dabei auch, wie stark Zeichnungssammlungen vor allem im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert die Kunstgeschichte und die methodische Entwicklung des Fachs geprägt haben.
Ein deutscher Maler
The National Socialist arts policy denounced Otto Dix (1891–1969) and his verist oeuvre for "endangering public morality" and "adversely affecting the fighting spirit of the German people." Dix reacted by becoming a painter who oscillated in motifs and style between conservatism and critical commentary, and sought recognition despite being defamed. This forced, radical artistic transformation also led to "concealed," in part subversive or contradictory iconographies, to which this book is dedicated. The painter’s art is analyzed against the backdrop of developments in the arts policy in Germany and the Weimar Republic until into the postwar period; all genres—landscapes, portraits, and (Christian) figurative pictures—are examined.
Caravaggio
As this collection makes clear, the paths to grasping the complexity of Caravaggio’s art are multiple and variable.

Quellen, Nachbarschaft, Gemeinschaft
Die Erforschung der gemeinsamen Geschichte Zentraleuropas wurde nach der Öffnung der Grenzen ein Anliegen der Forschung. Inzwischen sind Archivbestände in Budapest, Prag, österreichischen Klöstern und Bayern digital zugänglich; sie ermöglichen eine neue Sichtweise.

Die Beiträge des Bandes machen deutlich, dass es in Zentraleuropa eine gut funktionierende Kultur sozialer Gemeinschaft und des transregionalen Austausches gab.
Caravaggio & His Followers in Rome
"The Italian artist Caravaggio (1571-1610) had a profound impact on a wide range of baroque painters of Italian, French, Dutch, Flemish, and Spanish origin who resided in Rome either during his lifetime or immediately afterward.
