Villes et culture sous l'Occupation

Autor: Françoise Taliano-des Garets

Número de Páginas: 311

« Toute la France, toute l’Europe est en prison » écrivait Jean Guéhenno dans Journal des années noires. Quelles furent les répercussions d’un tel contexte sur la vie culturelle ? En s’intéressant aux pratiques et aux politiques culturelles urbaines sous l’Occupation en Europe et dans l’empire français, cet ouvrage ouvre des perspectives de comparaison internationale inédites. Il livre, en effet, par une approche de terrain, une connaissance précise et différenciée des situations nationales. Tout en mesurant les degrés d’oppression et de résistance, variables selon les territoires et les moments de la guerre, on découvrira d’Athènes à Varsovie, de Prague à Lyon ou Turin, de Marseille à Dakar, d’Alger à Damas... une même vitalité culturelle et les mêmes subterfuges pour échapper aux contraintes de l’Occupation. Celles-ci ont pour nom censure, répression, propagande et pénuries. L’occupant, ainsi que les régimes de collaboration comme Vichy, s’emploie à créer un ordre nouveau où la culture fournit rêve et divertissement, rassemble et manipule. Mais elle s’avère également vecteur de résistance individuelle et collective,...

« Si les tableaux pouvaient parler... »

Autor: Corinne Bouchoux

Número de Páginas: 558

Après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, une commission de récupération artistique (CRA) est mise en place pour traiter du problème des œuvres d’art spoliées par les nazis. La France obtient, comme un certain nombre de pays, un retour d’œuvres restituées d’État à État. 85 000 demandes sont déposées en France, 61 233 objets artistiques sont retrouvés, 45 000 sont rendus à leurs propriétaires, juifs pour la plupart, mais des tableaux restent orphelins et des propriétaires ne retrouvent pas leur bien. Entre 1950 et 1995, cette histoire est oubliée. Après la chute du mur de Berlin, le dossier des pillages artistiques est à nouveau ouvert. Quel en fut le traitement administratif au ministère des Affaires étrangères ? Et son traitement médiatique ? Quelles sont les stratégies de communication des acteurs ? À l’action et l’oubli (1945-1955), succèdent une lente médiatisation (1955-1969), puis un nouveau silence (1969-1996). Enfin arrive l’ère de la communication (1997-2008) pour cette histoire méconnue, qui s’achève avec la commission Mattéoli (1997) et une nouvelle vague de restitutions et d’indemnisations en application des principes – non...

El saqueo de Europa

Autor: Lynn H. Nicholas

Número de Páginas: 250

Los personajes que aparecen en este apasionante libro van desde Adolf Hitler y Hermann Goering a Gertrude Stein y Marc Chagall, además de las obras maestras del arte universal, de Leonardo Da Vinci a Pablo Picasso, de los tesoros de Troya a Paul Gauguin... Y la historia que se cuenta es la del sistemático saqueo de obras de arte por parte de los nazis durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Mientras en Alemania purgaban el “arte degenerado”, los nazis saquearon museos y colecciones privadas a lo largo y ancho de Europa: de Francia a la Unión Soviética, de Italia a Polonia... Este libro investiga esta rapiña de obras de arte, la desaparición de cuadros valiosísimos y la posterior recuperación por los ejércitos aliados de otras piezas robadas. Rebosante de historias fascinantes, desde el peligroso viaje de la Mona Lisa bajo las bombas hasta el descubrimiento de la colección privada de Goering oculta en unas minas de sal, El saqueo de Europa es mucho más que un simple ensayo histórico. Con una habilidad narrativa más propia de un novelista que de un erudito, la autora nos presenta un relato fascinante, lleno de testimonios desgarradotes, sobre una época terrible, y sobre ...

Des musées au-dessus de tout soupçon

Autor: André Gob

Número de Páginas: 276

Les musées face à la guerre, voilà un sujet encore peu exploré, car il conduit à affronter des questions complexes, quand ce n'est pas à revenir sur des réalités scabreuses... Comment, au fil de l'histoire, les musées ont-ils anticipé la menace de destruction ou de pillage ? Quels dommages ont-ils vraiment subis ?Au-delà, comment ont-ils transigé, voire coopéré avec les occupants et servi leur propagande ? Comment ont-ils, le cas échant, tiré parti des situations créées pour enrichir leur collections ? Comment ont-ils gérés les après-guerre et les demandes de restitution ? Cet ouvrage, le premier à présenter l'ensemble de ce pan obscur de notre histoire culturelle (avec ces deux "moments" clés que furent les conquêtes napoléonniennes et l'horreur nazie), se nourrit d'une véritable réflexion sur les dangers de l'asservissement aux pouvoirs de la passion de collectionner.

Franciscan Organisation in the Mendicant Context

Autor: Michael J. P. Robson , Jens Röhrkasten

Número de Páginas: 439

Emanating from the tradition of the Italian hermit communities the Franciscans developed organisational structures already early in their history, allowing them to offer pastoral care on a wide scale. This process of transition led firstly to constitutional structures as defined in the order's early legislation but it also occurred within relationship networks at different levels, in the context of Church and papacy, within the different European regions and before the background of the emerging Canon Law. The term "organisation" has been given a wide definition in the articles published in this volume. They offer a survey of general issues related to the structuring and running of religious orders as well as a number of case studies. Comparisons with other mendicant orders offer an analysis of the issues in a wider context.

Goering’s Man in Paris

Autor: Jonathan Petropoulos

Número de Páginas: 455

A charged biography of a notorious Nazi art plunderer and his career in the postwar art worldBruno Lohse (1911–2007) was one of the most notorious art plunderers in history. Appointed by Hermann Göring to Hitler’s special art looting agency, he went on to supervise the systematic theft and distribution of over 22,000 artworks, largely from French Jews; helped Göring develop an enormous private art collection; and staged twenty private exhibitions of stolen art in Paris’s Jeu de Paume museum during the war. By the 1950s Lohse was officially denazified but back in the art dealing world, offering looted masterpieces to American museums. After his death, dozens of paintings by Renoir, Monet, and Pissarro, among others, were found in his Zurich bank vault and adorning the walls of his Munich home.Jonathan Petropoulos spent nearly a decade interviewing Lohse and continues to serve as an expert witness for Holocaust restitution cases. Here he tells the story of Lohse’s life, offering a critical examination of the postwar art world.

The Faustian Bargain

Autor: Jonathan Petropoulos

Número de Páginas: 416

Nazi art looting has been the subject of enormous international attention in recent years, and the topic of two history bestsellers, Hector Feliciano's The Lost Museum and Lynn Nicholas's The Rape of Europa. But such books leave us wondering: What made thoughtful, educated, artistic men and women decide to put their talents in the service of a brutal and inhuman regime? This question is the starting point for The Faustian Bargain, Jonathan Petropoulos's study of the key figures in the art world of Nazi Germany. Petropoulos follows the careers of these prominent individuals who like Faust, that German archetype, chose to pursue artistic ends through collaboration with diabolical forces. Readers meet Ernst Buchner, the distinguished museum director and expert on Old Master paintings who "repatriated" the Van Eyck brother's Ghent altarpiece to Germany, and Karl Haberstock, an art dealer who filled German museums with works bought virtually at gunpoint from Jewish collectors. Robert Scholz, the leading art critic in the Third Reich, became an officer in the chief art looting unit in France and Kajetan Muhlmann--a leading art historian--was probably the single most prolific art...

Endgame, 1945

Autor: David Stafford

Número de Páginas: 512

To end a history of World War II at VE Day is to leave the tale half told. Endgame 1945 highlights the gripping personal stories of nine men and women, ranging from soldiers to POWs to war correspondents, who witnessed firsthand the Allied struggle to finish the terrible game at last. Endgame 1945 highlights the gripping personal stories of nine men and women, ranging from soldiers to POWs to war correspondents, who witnessed firsthand the Allied struggle to finish the terrible game at last. Through their ground-level movements, Stafford traces the elaborate web of events that led to the war's real resolution: the deaths of Hitler and Mussolini, the liberation of Buchenwald and Dachau, and the Allies' race with the Red Army to establish a victors' foothold in Europe, to name a few. From Hitler's April decision never to surrender to the start of the Potsdam Conference, Stafford brings an unprecedented focus to the war's "final chapter." Narrative history at its most compelling, Endgame 1945 is the riveting story of three turbulent months that truly shaped the modern world.

The Medicine of the Friars in Medieval England

Autor: Peter Murray Jones

Número de Páginas: 327

Drawing upon a surprising wealth of evidence found in surviving manuscripts, this book restores friars to their rightful place in the history of English health care. Friars are often overlooked in the picture of health care in late medieval England. Physicians, surgeons, apothecaries, barbers, midwives - these are the people we think of immediately as agents of healing; whilst we identify university teachers as authorities on medical writings. Yet from their first appearance in England in the 1220s to the dispersal of the friaries in the 1530s, four orders of friars were active as healers of every type. Their care extended beyond the circle of their own brethren: patients included royalty, nobles and bishops, and they also provided charitable aid and relief to the poor. They wrote about medicine too. Bartholomew the Englishman and Roger Bacon were arguably the most influential authors, alongside the Dominican Henry Daniel. Nor should we forget the anonymous Franciscan compilers of the Tabula medicine, a handbook of cures, which, amongst other items, contains case histories of friars practising medicine. Even after the Reformation, these texts continued to circulate and find new...

The Boston Raphael

Autor: Belinda Rathbone

Número de Páginas: 293

The discovery of a previously unknown painting by an Italian Renaissance master, and how it went from media sensation to career-ending scandal. On the eve of its centennial celebrations in December 1969, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts announced the acquisition of an unknown and uncatalogued painting attributed to Raphael. Boston’s coup made headlines around the world. Soon afterward, an Italian art sleuth began investigating the details of the painting’s export from Italy, challenged the museum’s right to ownership. Simultaneously, experts on both sides of the Atlantic lined up to debate the artwork’s very authenticity. While these contests played themselves out on the international stage, the crisis deepened within the museum as its charismatic director, Perry T. Rathbone, faced the most challenging crossroads of his thirty-year career. The facts about the forces that converged on the museum, and how they led to Rathbone’s resignation as director, is only now fully revealed in this compelling, behind-the-scenes story that reveals how the art world, media, and museums work. This is for anyone who relishes stories of the business of art. Praise for The Boston Raphael...

Women and Mixed Race Representation in Film

Autor: Valerie C. Gilbert

Número de Páginas: 303

This book uses a black/white interracial lens to examine the lives and careers of eight prominent American-born actresses from the silent age through the studio era, New Hollywood, and into the present century: Josephine Baker, Nina Mae McKinney, Fredi Washington, Lena Horne, Dorothy Dandridge, Lonette McKee, Jennifer Beals and Halle Berry. Combining biography with detailed film readings, the author fleshes out the tragic mulatto stereotype, while at the same time exploring concepts and themes such as racial identity, the one-drop rule, passing, skin color, transracial adoption, interracial romance, and more. With a wealth of background information, this study also places these actresses in historical context, providing insight into the construction of race, both onscreen and off.

Reading Practice

Autor: Melissa Reynolds

Número de Páginas: 319

Through portraits of readers and their responses to texts, Reading Practice reconstructs the contours of the knowledge economy that shaped medicine and science in early modern England. Reading Practice tells the story of how ordinary people grew comfortable learning from commonplace manuscripts and printed books, such as almanacs, medical recipe collections, and herbals. From the turn of the fifteenth century to the close of the sixteenth century, these were the books English people read when they wanted to attend to their health or understand their place in the universe. Before then, these works had largely been the purview of those who could read Latin. Around 1400, however, medical and scientific texts became available in Middle English while manuscripts became less expensive. These vernacular manuscripts invited their readers into a very old and learned conversation: Hippocrates and Galen weren’t distant authorities whose word was law, they were trusted guides, whose advice could be excerpted, rearranged, recombined, and even altered to suit a manuscript compiler’s needs. This conversation continued even after the printing press arrived in England in 1476. Printers mined...

The Life and Times of John Trevisa, Medieval Scholar

Autor: David C. Fowler

Número de Páginas: 296

John Trevisa (ca.1342-1402), perhaps the greatest of Middle English prose translators of Latin texts into English, was almost an exact contemporary of Geoffrey Chaucer. Trevisa was born in Cornwall, studies at Oxford, and was instituted vicar of Berkeley, a position he held until his death. Over a period of thirty-five years eminent medievalist David Fowler has pieced together an account of Trevisa’s life and times by diligently seeking out documents bearing on his activities and translations. This has resulted in a cultural history of fourtheenth-century England that ranges from the administrative, geographical, and linguistic status of Cornwall to the curriculum of medieval university education, and from religious and secular conflicts to the administration of a substantial provincial household and the role of its aristocratic keepers in the Hundred Years War. Fowler provides an analysis of Trevis’s known translations the “Gospel of Nicodemus”, “Dialogus inter Militem et Clericum”, FitzRalph’s “Defensio Curatorum”, the “Polychronicon”, “De Regimine Principum” and “De Proprietatibus Rerum.” He also advances the hypothesis that Trevisa was one of the...

Monuments men

Autor: Robert Edsel

Número de Páginas: 391

A la recherche des trésors volés par les nazis. A peine un pays conquis, les armées d’Hitler se livraient au pillage systématique des plus belles collections d’art – des familles juives entre autres – en confisquant au nom du Führer des Michel-Ange, des Vinci, des Van Eyck ou encore des Vermeer avec le projet de construire le plus extraordinaire des musées à Linz, sa ville natale. Dès 1941, Eisenhower crée un groupe d’experts (Les Monuments Men) afin de protéger les trésors américains. En 1944, ce groupe élargi à treize nationalités, composés de conservateurs, de professeurs d’histoire de l’art, d’architectes, d’archiviste va accompagner les armées de la libération afin de protéger le patrimoine architectural européen et de récupérer les milliers d’œuvres enlevées par les nazis. Robert Edsel a tout particulièrement suivi les aventures de neuf hommes et d’une femme. George Stout, l’un des initiateurs du projet au courage et au charisme hors normes, JJ Rorimer qui deviendra le futur directeur du Metropolitan Museum of Art et découvrira dans le château de Neuschwanstein des milliers de tableaux, Jacques Jaujard, le directeur des...
