Emil Stumpp - Karl Schönherr
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In our last email, we reported on new works by Josef Friedrich Limmer and pointed out that nothing about him can be found in art literature. By chance, we have now come across his personal papers, which we were able to purchase and are currently evaluating.
Furthermore, we were able to acquire five new works by two remarkable individuals who became victims of Nazi ideology and are introduced below.
From now on, we will be publishing this newsletter in this format every month. If you no longer wish to receive it, you can unsubscribe by replying to this email.

Emil Stumpp was the most famous press illustrator of the Weimar Republic. He created portraits of a large number of important figures from politics, business, sports, intellectual life, and the art world. A less-than-flattering caricature of Hitler published in the Generalanzeiger on April 20, 1933, to mark Hitler's birthday, was perceived as 'malicious' by the Nazis. The consequence was an immediate professional ban, and eight years later, this very caricature cost him his life.
We found four characteristic lithographs and a typescript in an antiquarian bookstore in Kiel.

Jozsef Klein – Gardener at Work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jozsef Klein was a Jewish painter born in Hungary in 1896. The majority of his work reveals his social commitment to the lower strata of society, placing him in the tradition of 19th-century French Realism. In the early 1940s, he created anti-fascist caricatures which he presented to his circle of friends. In June 1944, he and his wife were deported to Auschwitz along with the other Jewish citizens of his hometown.
We discovered the accompanying work with an art collector in Romania, who made it available for our collection.
