Artists

Edited by Brenda Danilowitz, Fabienne Eggelhöfer, Stella Rollig and Nina Zimmer A beautifully illustrated look at the works of Anni Albers with a focus on the architectural dimensions of her work. Anni Albers (1899–1994) has long been revered as a trailblazing weaver, textile designer, and visual artist; she also was an insightful and eloquent writer, and her books On Designing and On Weaving are canonical writings in design history. Anni Albers: Constructing Textiles explores the ideas of materiality, construction, and architecture across her body of work, establishing her legacy as a thinker, theoretician, and innovator. The book’s essays include essential writings by Albers herself on the making and meaning of textiles, as well as new pieces by Glenn Adamson on her relationship to architecture, Karis Medina on the material and technique of her weavings, Amy Jean Porter on her writing, and Jeffrey Saletnik on East Asian influences in Albers’s work and thinking. Among the book’s hundreds of beautifully reproduced images are works held in private collections that have never before been published. An essential volume in the literature about modernism, this book reinforces Albers’s position as a leading figure in twentieth-century art.

Anni Albers: Constructing Textiles

By Elisabeth Dutz This revelatory volume uncovers the significant friendship that shaped Egon Schiele’s most personal and provocative works. Between 1910 and his death in 1918, Egon Schiele cultivated a close, formative relationship with Dr. Erwin von Graff—a Vienna-based gynecologist who would become both friend and collaborator. Egon Schiele: Portrait of Dr. Erwin von Graff is the first publication to examine this vital connection in depth, revealing how Graff’s medical practice and personal support influenced one of the most expressive and psychologically charged bodies of work in modern art.Through Graff’s private diary and newly uncovered archival material, art historian Elisabeth Dutz traces a compelling narrative of creative exchange and trust. Graff granted Schiele access to his patients—pregnant women, newborns, and postpartum mothers—opening a world that Schiele captured with raw, emotional intensity. Their friendship, which began with a painted portrait offered in gratitude for a favor, evolved into a lasting exchange that deeply influenced Schiele’s exploration of the human body, emotional vulnerability, and the complexities of life and death.Published in connection with a special exhibition at the Neue Galerie New York, this beautifully produced volume is richly illustrated with Schiele’s works from this period, as well as never-before-seen photographs and documents. It offers new insight into the artist’s inner world and illuminates a significant chapter in his development. A must-have for admirers of Schiele, this book deepens our understanding of his oeuvre and the relationships that helped shape it.

Edited by Markus Kristan »Josef Hoffmann hat alle seine Gedanken und Eingaben und Aufsätze immer mit der Hand zu Papier gebracht. Ich habe ihn niemals an einer Schreibmaschine ­sitzen gesehen und er ist doch der modernste Mensch, dem man begegnen kann, der alle Strömungen und Bewegungen in sich aufgenommen hat, der stets der erste war, neue Impulse auszuteilen und die Jugend zu entflammen. Er hat Architektur und Kunsthandwerk aus der Zeit wachsen lassen, er ist der Meister der großen Form und der klaren Linie. Die Kraft, die ihn dazu befähigte, liegt nicht nur in seiner Geburt und Kindheit gesichert, sie hat ihre ewige Geborgenheit in der Idee, die ihn umfing, die ihn zuerst zur Kunst hinführte. Andere Menschen haben nur den irdischen Gewinn am Ausgang und Ziel ihres Weges und damit vergeuden sie Erbschaft, Leben und Freude.«(L. W.

Edited by Ortrud Westheider and Michael Philipp Spanning six decades, three continents, and multiple mediums, this exhibition catalog explores one of the most significant and influential artistic movements of the twentieth century. At the beginning of the twentieth century, painting underwent a profound transformation. Artists no longer wanted to depict the visible; they aspired to a new visual language that reduced artistic expression to an interplay of colors, lines, and shapes; reflected the modern world; and transcended national boundaries. A central figure of this art movement was Wassily Kandinsky, who laid the theoretical foundations with his work Point and Line to Plane. This lushly illustrated and highly researched volume showcases how Geometric Abstraction found radical expression in all its variations in Europe, the USA and beyond. It features more than one hundred works by over seventy artists, including Josef Albers, Sonia Delaunay, Barbara Hepworth, El Lissitzky, Agnes Martin, Piet Mondrian, Bridget Riley, Frank Stella, and Victor Vasarely. Essays by leading scholars illuminate the ways these artists were inspired by the advanced technologies and theories of their time, including concepts of the fourth dimension and the space- time continuum. The authors explore the movement through a transnational lens—from Belgium, Germany, and Great Britain, to France, Italy, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain, and the United States; and emphasize the long-neglected role of women in the movement’s advancement. Through its insightful essays and stunning visuals, this volume offers a definitive exploration of how geometric abstraction revolutionized modern art and continues to inspire artists across the globe.

Kandinsky's Universe: Geometric Abstractions in the 20th Century

By Sandra Dzialek, Kerstin Jesse, Jane Kallir, Hannes Leidinger, Edith Schiele, Hans-Peter Wipplinger, Simone HöniglEdited by Kerstin Jesse, Jane Kallir, Hans-Peter Wipplinger This spring, the Leopold Museum is dedicating a large-scale monographic exhibition to the central artist of the Leopold Collection, Egon Schiele (1890–1918). Changing Times. Egon Schiele’s Last Years: 1914–1918 is the first presentation to shine the spotlight on the artist’s late oeuvre. The eccentric exceptional artist only had around ten years of activity before he died at the age of 28 from the “Spanish Flu.” Throughout this decade, Schiele created a comprehensive oeuvre, which is best known for his key paintings and the drawings he realized between 1910 and 1913, in which he addressed his own mental states as well as the self-questioning and inner conflicts of an entire generation. From 1914, right in the middle of his professional career, Schiele faced dramatic changes both of a private and historical nature, which he was forced to adapt to and which impacted on his oeuvre. His previous introspection gave way to a new focus on external realities and novel themes, altering his artistic style.

Edited with text by Alison Smith. Text by Knut Ljøgodt Portraits by and of Munch offer insight into the vibrant bohemian world of one of the great artists of the 19th and 20th centuries "Highlights psychological complexity."―Michael Prodger, The New Statesman "Munch the psychologist of unease appropriating the swagger of Sargent or Velázquez." ―Jackie Wullschlager, The Financial Times Norwegian painter Edvard Munch (1863–1944), whose 1893 work The Scream has become one of Western art’s most acclaimed images and who is widely regarded as one of the great artists of the 19th and 20th centuries, is less known for his portraiture—but his portraits are central to his art and vision. Edvard Munch Portraits, edited by Alison Smith, former chief curator at London’s National Portrait Gallery, brings together more than 60 of Munch’s most significant portraits, showcasing the wide array of styles, techniques and mediums that he employed. During the course of Munch’s long life, and working in a range of mediums that encompassed painting, drawing and print, he made hundreds of portraits of friends, patrons, models and, above all and unsparingly, himself. This book places his work in the cultural and historical background of his period, providing readers with a greater understanding of the time in which these portraits were produced. This publication offers deep insight into the artist’s family and bohemian social circles, along with his German and Norwegian patrons and the friends who helped establish his reputation.

Edvard Munch Portraits

Edited by Astrid Ihle, Julia Nebenführ, and René Zechlin See the global south between 1914 and the 1970s through the perspective of women pioneers and their new artistic development: geometric abstraction. Artists like Sophie Taeuber-Arp and Sonia Delaunay played an essential part in the development of geometric abstraction, a form of non-representational art. We Will Go Right Up to the Sun presents an overview of the evolution of geometric abstract art and takes into account, in addition to the applied arts, the female perspective of the Global South with promising new discoveries. Geometric abstraction emerged around the turn of the last century from an attitude that was permeated by renewal, utopia, and resistance, and that aimed at the unity of art and life. Colorful, geometric, and highly attractive, this comprehensive view of the art produced between 1914 and the 1970s is lavishly illustrated and relates the narrative from a female, global, historical, and contemporary perspective, revealing the dense network between women artists, gallerists, and critics.

We Will Go Right Up to the Sun: Female Pioneers of Geometric Abstraction

Written and illustrated by Xavier Coste Unveils the Austro-Hungarian artist's relationship with colleagues and models and the passions that drove him further into his craft. ―Douglas Rednour, Library Journal Schiele's brief, controversial career is examined with bold insights in this graphic biography... Coste doesn't shy away from the emotional brutality of Schiele's story. In fact, he embraces it, weaving elements of Schiele's eerie, idiosyncratic paintings with his own artistic style. Drawing on the same Expressionist techniques that drove Schiele's artistic passions, Coste conjures a story that beckons the reader to see the world through its subject's eyes. ―Publishers Weekly The story of the artistic genius who provoked early 20th-century tolerance. Egon Schiele is an evocative depiction based on the life of the Austro-Hungarian artist whose short career spanned the turn of the 20th century. Schiele (1890-1918) was a painter known for full-frontal portraits of naked women (and on many occasions, himself). They were stark and disturbing. He painted his subjects in gaunt, twisting and unnatural poses. Their voyeuristic tone and blatant eroticism outraged society, landing him in prison for 24 days. Nevertheless, his works would have a strong influence on the development of expressionist art. The book focuses on the artist's creative years, the development of his talent, his relationships with other artists, including Gustav Klimt, the women in his life, and his obsession with making provocative art. Quickly following Schiele's early successes were his failures. In the end, it was the Spanish flu that killed him at the tragically young age of 28. Egon Schiele is a seductive and intimate portrait of an artistic genius who was both lauded and condemned for his brilliance. His works, at one time judged to be disgusting and perverse, are now considered masterpieces and are in museums all around the world.

Edited by Saskia Bak, Andrea Jahn, Stella Rollig An intersectional approach to women artists working in an activist vein in the early 20th century The first half of the 20th century witnessed enormous waves of upheaval. Imperial dynasties were overthrown, economic crises spiraled into depressions and labor organizations advocated on behalf of the working class. As one of many marginalized groups still fighting for equal rights, women keenly felt each transformation of the global landscape. As more women were able to become professional artists, many centered their work on current events. Radical! enumerates over 70 artists whose work spoke to the most crucial issues of their time, addressing not only women’s rights but also racial inequality and economic injustice. With a timeline chronicling significant historical moments worldwide, the publication delineates each artist’s unique perspective and demonstrates how some even fought for rights that their counterparts took for granted. Artists include: Zubeida Agha, Romaine Brooks, Camilla Burke, Elizabeth Catlett, Hannah Höch, Käthe Kollwitz, Augusta Savage, Amrita Sher-Gil, Gazbia Sirry.

Edited by Elizabeth DutzText by Elizabeth Dutz, Brigitte Holzinger and Natalie Lettner For Austrian artist Alfred Kubin (1877–1959), evil was intrinsic to his life and work. After a traumatic childhood growing up in Zell am See and subsequent mental crises, he began his artistic training in Munich in 1898. He processed his nightmares and obsessions in a large number of fantastical drawings. His subjects, perpetually pessimistic, remain relevant a century later: war, famine, pestilence, death and every horror in between. Kubin had a pronounced fear of the feminine, sexuality, night time and of being at the mercy of fate, all of which visited him in uncanny dreams. For Kubin, the aesthetic of evil proved to be the antithesis of the idyll: the deliberate suppression of a hideous reality. Drawn from the Albertina Museum’s collection of over 1,800 drawings by the artist, The Aesthetic of Evil displays Kubin’s grotesque vision as well as his superb draftsmanship. Amid the violent, haunting atmosphere of his graphic works it is easy to see how Kubin became trapped in his dark visions, to the point where the inexhaustible, intangible specter of evil consumed his life. Essays by Elisabeth Dutz, Natalie Lettner and Brigitte Holzinger explore Kubin’s cosmos of the sinister: his personal iconography of evil fueled by his nightmares and obsessions.

Alfred Kubin: The Aesthetic of Evil

By Alessandra Comini ''This erudite, mostly engaging self-portrait charts the making of an art historian and professional 'seer,' whose passion and wit enabled her to become a noted teacher and scholar at Southern Methodist University. Comini helped unearth centuries of overlooked women in art and wrote landmark studies of the Austrian painter Egon Schiele and of musical iconography. For someone engaged in a life of the mind, she has lived much of it in motion, and the art of travel and close consideration of cultural context have been her keys to learning and teaching. She is at her riveting best when she reveals her discoveries about Schiele in his Vienna prison cell, Winckelmann in Rome and Trieste, the composer Edvard Grieg in Norway, and the painter Akseli Gallen-Kalella in Finland. Her short essays dazzle the most when they reveal her keen eye, such as when she discerns how the German artist Kathe Kollwitz, in a bust of herself, 'used the resolute features of her own aging face as a spiritual topography for courage and resignation.''' --Booklist Overflowing with passion for her work as a scholar and teacher, Distinguished Professor of Art History Emerita at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, Alessandra Comini reminisces through six decades as an unconventional art historian in this illustrated memoir. The author of award-winning books on Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, and Ludwig van Beethoven, Comini draws on her sixty years of daily journals, sharing research-related anecdotes as she reflects on the formation and flowering of her distinguished career. Beginning with her colorful background as a refugee from Franco's Spain, then Mussolini's Italy, she describes her music-loving family's sometimes humorous, sometimes painful adjustment to a World War II Texas. A series of fortuitous experiences at Interlochen's National Music Camp, Barnard College, the University of California at Berkeley, and Columbia University later leads to what would ultimately be a turning point in her life as well as in Schiele scholarship. She discovered the actual cell in which Schiele had been imprisoned in a provincial Austrian jail half a century earlier. Comini invites readers to join her in the same zestful and persistent pursuit of cultural history that has repeatedly earned her the honor of being voted "outstanding" professor, by her students at Columbia University and later at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. Her research and quests take the reader around the world and back. From the islands of Corfu, Madeira, R gen, and Tahiti to the cities of Lisbon, Rome, Oslo, and St. Petersburg, Comini pursues such diverse and distinctive personalities as Rosa Bonheur, Gustav and Alma Mahler, Pablo Picasso, Eleonora Duse, Edvard Munch, K the Kollwitz, Vaslav Nijinski, and Egon Schiele. Alessandra Comini's memoir will inspire readers with its sincere and compelling account of an extraordinary life and career still passionately in progress. Retirement for her has meant discovering a joyful new profession: writing art history murder mystery novels that take her eighty-year-old pseudonymous heroine Megan Crespi from the top of Europe down to Antarctica in pursuit of murderous purloiners of artworks by Klimt, Schiele, Kokoschka, Munch, and Kollwitz.

In Passionate Pursuit

Edited by Christian Bauer This book highlights the intimate relationship between landscape and portraiture in the work of the Austrian Expressionist artist Egon Schiele (1890-1918).Plants, natural environments, and townscapes determine the spaces Egon Schiele created in his paintings, and they also reflect the rich symbolism he employed that is centered around the human condition. In particular, plants are often endowed with an allegorical meaning. Flowers and trees assume the role of portrait subjects and convey an almost human appearance. Schiele’s landscapes always represent more than their apparent subject matter. His portrayal of nature and his rendering of towns and trees epitomize the life cycle and the human condition. This catalogue, accompanying a spectacular exhibition on view at the Neue Galerie New York, will investigate the importance of landscape in the artist’s work. The contributing authors are internationally distinguished experts on Schiele’s landscapes and representatives of museums and universities in Europe and the United States.

Gustav Klimt: 50 Masterpieces Explored

Edited with text by Theodora Vischer Text by Tere Arcq, Andreas Beyer, Tamar Garb, Peter Geimer, Anna-Carola Krausse, Sylvie Patry, Uwe M. Schneede, Jennifer Thompson, and Hilda Trujillo. Gender interventions and formal innovations in female portraiture, through works by Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Lotte Laserstein, Frida Kahlo, Alice Neel, Marlene Dumas, Cindy Sherman, Elizabeth Peyton This superbly conceived publication looks at nine women artists whose careers were devoted primarily to portraiture, analyzing both the work they produced and the unique ways in which each artist captured her subjects’ likenesses and the spaces they inhabited. These artists represent the development of modernist art since 1870; each has made significant contributions to art history as they complicate long-held notions of the gaze and explore the relationship between the self, the subject and the artist. Close-Up examines women painters and photographers who are known primarily for self-portraiture, such as Paula Modersohn-Becker, Frida Kahlo and Cindy Sherman; it also looks at female artists who depicted the daily lives of women and children in a creative environment that was largely disinterested in such subjects, such as Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt and Lotte Laserstein. Still other women—Alice Neel, Marlene Dumas and Elizabeth Peyton—embrace familiarity completely and depict friends and family as well as famous figures in their paintings. In essays by nine different authors, these artists and their subjects are considered individually and as part of a chronology of modern portraiture, with an emphasis on the dynamics of gender.

By Yoshio Futagawa Designed by Adolf Loos in his later years, these two houses are twin examples of the architect’s plain, unadorned style of architecture, despite their difference in size and budget. Both Villa Moller (1926–27) in Vienna and Villa Müller (1928–30) in Prague are illustrative of his ‘Raumplan’ design method. Loos applied a utilitarian approach in using the entire floor plan that would only later receive greater appreciation with the advent of postmodernism, an innovative spatialisation comprising sequences of spaces drawn in three dimensions. Photographed by Yoshio Futagawa, the two houses and the spatial brilliance of Loos come to life in an eclectic symbiosis with modernism.

Residential Masterpieces 25: Adolf Loos Villa Muller / Villa Moller

By Adolf Loos Throughout his life Adolf Loos raised his eloquent voice against the squandering of fine materials, frivolous ornamentation and unnecessary embellishments. His admirers consider him to be the inspiration for all modern architecture. Yet, few are acquainted with his amusing, incisive, critical and philosophical literary work reflecting on applied design and the essence of clothing in fin de siècle Vienna. Adolf Loos often had a radical, yet innovative outlook on life that made him such a nuisance for many of his contemporaries. His provocative musings on many subjects portray him as a man of varied interests and intellectual refinement as well as possessing a keen sense of style, which still has value today. For the first time the ‘Loos Dress Code’ is available in English. Included is a short social/historical look as the birth of Modernism in Adolf Loos’ Vienna.

Why A Man Should Be Well Dressed

By Robin Schuldenfrei "One of the most interesting and essential texts on modernism to be written in the last decade. . . . Schuldenfrei has made a fairly niche art historical subject incredibly approachable with brilliant but accessible text. . . . [Objects in Exile] is a phenomenally well researched and important text on the subject and should be required reading for anyone interested in modern art and design."---Angelina Lippert, New York Journal of Books "A thought-provoking read that sheds light on the hidden narratives of objects and their profound influence on our collective heritage."-- "Metropolis" In the fraught years leading up to World War II, many modern artists and architects emigrated from continental Europe to the United States and Britain. The experience of exile infused their modernist ideas with new urgency and forced them to use certain materials in place of others, modify existing works, and reconsider their approach to design itself. In Objects in Exile, Robin Schuldenfrei reveals how the process of migration was crucial to the development of modernism, charting how modern art and architecture was shaped by the need to constantly face—and transcend—the materiality of things. Taking readers from the prewar era to the 1960s, Schuldenfrei explores the objects these émigrés brought with them, what they left behind, and the new works they completed in exile. She argues that modernism could only coalesce with the abandonment of national borders in a process of emigration and resettlement, and brings to life the vibrant postwar period when avant-garde ideas came together and emerged as mainstream modernism. Examining works by Walter Gropius, László Moholy-Nagy, Lucia Moholy, Herbert Bayer, Anni and Josef Albers, and others, Schuldenfrei demonstrates the social impact of art objects produced in exile. Shedding critical light on how the pressures of dislocation irrevocably altered the course of modernism, Objects in Exile shows how artists and designers, forced into exile by circumstances beyond their control, changed in unexpected ways to meet the needs and contexts of an uncertain world.

Objects in Exile: Modern Art and Design across Borders, 1930–1960

Original Price: $50.00 UP TO 20% ADDITIONAL SAVINGS FOR MEMBERS Edited by Jay A. Clarke and Jill Lloyd-Peppiatt This exhibition catalog considers the work of a pioneering artist who subverted conventions in her bold depictions of the nude, self-portraits, and still-lifes. An iconoclast in her own time, Modersohn-Becker is today considered an icon of modernity.Throughout her career, Paula Modersohn-Becker boldly experimented with styles while steadfastly pursuing the truth of everyday life and her own female experience. This monograph looks at the entire spectrum of her work—figure drawings, still-lifes, self-portraiture, landscape, nudes, and portraits of young girls and old women—to illustrate the evolution of an artist reacting to seismic cultural change at the turn of the nineteenth century. Whether she was embracing or subverting the principles of realism, naturalism, impressionism, symbolism, or expressionism, Modersohn-Becker remained interested in issues of identity, peeling away outer layers to uncover what she understood as the true essence of life. This book features numerous examples of Modersohn-Becker’s striking and relatively unknown drawings of men, women, and children facing poverty, as well as her highly original figure paintings and nudes—including her unprecedented nude self-portraits. Accompanying the first museum exhibition of Modersohn-Becker’s work in the United States, it reveals the deeply personal and authentic work of an artist who resolutely forged her own path.

Klimt: The Essential Paintings

By Freyda SpiraThe Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863–1944) and the German artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880–1938) are considered modernist visionaries. They were also pioneering printmakers, eschewing the mastery of one technique for experimentation across many. Born a generation apart, they worked in an expressionist mode, in which they did not simply replicate what they saw but rather filtered everything through their own imagination and memories. Exploiting the perceptual and emotional power of color and abstraction for creative expression, they portrayed what they perceived to be a fragmented, harrowing reality; both artists endured bouts of anxiety and depression, battled substance abuse, and received psychiatric care. Featuring never-before-published prints from the collection of Nelson Blitz, Jr., and Catherine Woodard, as well as etchings, lithographs, and hand-colored woodcuts from select public and private collections across the United States, this volume puts these two giants of Expressionism in a dialogue that foregrounds issues of mental health and offers a fresh approach that blends art history and the history of medical treatment. The included essays examine the artistic affinities and divergences in their printmaking and the ways in which they used shadows to imagine pathologized psychological and psychiatric experiences in their art.Paperback with flaps192 pages | 99 color imagesYale University Press, 20249 x 12 inchesISBN 9780300275858 Art History, Essays

Munch and Kirchner: Anxiety and Expression

By Fritz Horstman The essence of Josef Albers’s Interaction of Color in a format that engages learners of all ages and levels and encourages a hands-on approach Interaction of Color is often presented as an overarching theory of color, but it is actually a method of learning how to better see and understand color—many of the color exercises illustrated in Interaction of Color were devised by Albers’s students: cutting and pasting, looking, pondering, and learning. This workbook companion is a teaching tool designed to enable readers to engage in the kinds of tactile creativity and exploration that characterized Albers’s own classroom.Focusing on eight of the most important lessons in Interaction of Color, this book invites readers to learn by doing, using only simple materials. Core instructions for each exercise are enhanced by additional tips, references to Albers’s original text and illustrations, and stories about how Albers presented the ideas in class. The book and exercises are sufficiently nuanced to challenge and inspire seasoned artists, designers, and educators while also being readily accessible to younger readers and less-experienced practitioners.Paperback144 pages | 112 color illustrationsYale University Press, 20246 x 9.25 inchesISBN 9780300272437Literature, Education

Edited by Ulrike Groos and Anja Richter Text by Jan Bürger Whether in the visual arts, literature, cinema, science or fashion–in the crises after World War I, the fascination with “types” was largely influenced by a debate that was pervasive in the Weimar period: the search for the “face of the era.” People were looking for new role models, and the portraits by artists of the New Objectivity movement such as Otto Dix, George Grosz, Jeanne Mammen and Hanna Nagel testify to this. Many of the clichéd images, such as those of the “new woman” or the “worker,” however, continue to have an effect in the present, reminding us with their classification of individuals of a problem that lives on in today’s bigotry.A broad spectrum of contributors from art history, medical history, media studies, and sociology venture into a detailed investigation of the historical context of the 1920s and the complex interactions between art and its time. An installation developed especially for the exhibition by contemporary artist Cemile Sahin, born in 1990, spans an arc to the present.FEATURED ARTISTS:Atelier Gerstenberg, Hans Baluschek, Rudolf Bergander, Albert Birkle, Richard Birnstengel, Friedrich Bochmann, Steffi Brandl, Gottfried Brockmann, Friedrich Busack, Heinrich Maria Davringhausen, Dodo (Dörte Clara Wolff), Erich Drechsler, Kate Diehn-Bitt, Rudolf Dischinger, Otto Dix, Erich Drechsler,Hermann Fechenbach, Conrad Felixmüller, Fred Goldberg, Otto Griebel, George Grosz, Hans Grundig, Lea Grundig, Elsa Haensgen-Dingkuhn, Hainz Hamisch, Olga Hayduk, Nini und Carry Hess, Heinrich Hoerle, Karl Hubbuch, Lotte Jacobi, Grethe Jürgens, Alexander Kanoldt, Annelise Kretschmer, Bernhard Kretzschmar, Paula Lauenstein, Lotte Lesehr-Schneider, Elfriede Lohse-Wächtler, Jeanne Mammen, Hanna Nagel, Gerta Overbeck, Lotte B.
