Finally cataloging last year's collection acquisitions it was suggested (thank you Tom) it might be by the hand of Swiss artist <b>Lill Tschudi </b>(1911-2004) who was trained in London's Slate school and created over 300 often iconic prints.

Benezit Lexicon does not give any other serious candidates besides the painter Fernand Lambert (before post) who was born in Lyon but studied and had a career in Paris. <div><div><br /></div><div>It is an exact copy of <b>Jean Baptiste Greuze's</b> (1725-1805) painting of<b> <i>"La Laitière"</i></b> (the milkmaid). The painting is since 1900 officially part of the Louvre collection with its pendant painting<i> </i><b><i>"La Cruche Cassée"</i> </b>(the broken pitcher). We know Greuze's wife Anne-Gabrielle modelled for the milkmaid. They later divorced.

Then the property played an important role in the expansion of Bromma. By subdividing its own land, Lillsjönäs farm was one of the first to lay the foundations for a villa community. The last private owner, wholesaler<b> P. Kindgren</b>, started one of the country's earliest bus lines to increase the attractiveness of the area. The line ran between <b>Lillsjönäs</b> and <b>Kungsbroplan</b>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Ah58dNCOVculL0H_lD2Nr1nMAPb2n9uCtKhxUcB9HXuaOcWD5XFDYa_1XS5AfQAAz4N787Nl_W97VzYkYI9GKkUZ5aqgtigthxohFsIozcBAjaAzQz89Spv7C6taD2k5RWcMYqjDTmNIj9A8sUqt40XYeR6-O6WG0Lm4WeXm-PNArv2FJkRW2JH7E85c/s259/Unknown.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="194" data-original-width="259" height="194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Ah58dNCOVculL0H_lD2Nr1nMAPb2n9uCtKhxUcB9HXuaOcWD5XFDYa_1XS5AfQAAz4N787Nl_W97VzYkYI9GKkUZ5aqgtigthxohFsIozcBAjaAzQz89Spv7C6taD2k5RWcMYqjDTmNIj9A8sUqt40XYeR6-O6WG0Lm4WeXm-PNArv2FJkRW2JH7E85c/s1600/Unknown.jpeg" width="259" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; text-align: left;">In 1908 the City of Stockholm bought the farm buildings and the rest of the Lillsjönäs plots. An orphanage with an educational institution and a country school was established here. Boys were trained in 'agricultural and horticultural professions' and girls as 'domestic servants'. This educational and support activity was new and untested, and the one at Lillsjönäs was the first in the country. Since the 1940s until 2018, the building has housed various associations and a youth center.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijocNwqhptljzA4O9eLIjAv0cLoT_PiUPXcQN5TaV7f0-xY3qzRkLV2lpa1Ealxa9o1ocl40kVHgSvchfTmXjKtlT7xu-Tixl96n2mV7OtBotSwxrxjgaWjYlFzVaoZHq-xNyIeSiLpwVwn3spfcnBw6T1tqe3XQZM73Y9XaiVI6QIex6jc06ujRr7PPTo/s350/33D1ADBC-695B-475C-9EA5-C47776545FDF.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="350" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijocNwqhptljzA4O9eLIjAv0cLoT_PiUPXcQN5TaV7f0-xY3qzRkLV2lpa1Ealxa9o1ocl40kVHgSvchfTmXjKtlT7xu-Tixl96n2mV7OtBotSwxrxjgaWjYlFzVaoZHq-xNyIeSiLpwVwn3spfcnBw6T1tqe3XQZM73Y9XaiVI6QIex6jc06ujRr7PPTo/s320/33D1ADBC-695B-475C-9EA5-C47776545FDF.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; text-align: left;">The main building is well preserved and the style is typical of early 19th century ideals. It is a rare example of a summer resort from this period. During a renovation in the 1950s, much of the older furnishings were lost. However, the outdoor environment has been preserved as a rural oasis. Traces can be seen of the 19th century garden structure with a lime tree avenue, orchard and lilac bushes. A few tall deciduous trees stand next to the main building. Probably a remnant of an English park with winding paths, which was popular at the time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; text-align: left;">Translated with DeepL.com (free version)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLbci1fg9yrs2wB5_0LCYCF2muJbgp2hZT7n5fGeq52nqzc9kvnY-3Bw37Th6a_0NlyytgRbxZP2kl5QYKW_zY2WAJ0fPcexjwLkRLDHqB72ySi-j_mRgZcZyGk5cM2Z76jKSrnbPs_UALWtgspSXiF2REc5Eq8jzAhx9J3eTcHZnopwbTQDBVJCVasX0R/s2354/100.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2354" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLbci1fg9yrs2wB5_0LCYCF2muJbgp2hZT7n5fGeq52nqzc9kvnY-3Bw37Th6a_0NlyytgRbxZP2kl5QYKW_zY2WAJ0fPcexjwLkRLDHqB72ySi-j_mRgZcZyGk5cM2Z76jKSrnbPs_UALWtgspSXiF2REc5Eq8jzAhx9J3eTcHZnopwbTQDBVJCVasX0R/s320/100.jpg" width="218" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFe09StXUUSk51lM8x92kW6JyvQzsqq3ROJ0lY57I20-u67yxmf4DwlYMnMgAQ78m0lBdijNdiK0ceK4LHVZcf4bPApdNWi5dqclxvnJUHwttRkr66UeFvM7Bb4RSPFV7alS0uj7iWrTTp9Opia5f2HmjpcUV6QEGPw1zT_4aQizjTZzFeNevKVe6EAGIW/s2355/101.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2355" data-original-width="1497" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFe09StXUUSk51lM8x92kW6JyvQzsqq3ROJ0lY57I20-u67yxmf4DwlYMnMgAQ78m0lBdijNdiK0ceK4LHVZcf4bPApdNWi5dqclxvnJUHwttRkr66UeFvM7Bb4RSPFV7alS0uj7iWrTTp9Opia5f2HmjpcUV6QEGPw1zT_4aQizjTZzFeNevKVe6EAGIW/s320/101.jpg" width="203" /></a></div></div></span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue;">These two 1952c watercolour impressions, by an unknown artist visiting Lillsjönäsgårt were recently discovered in a car boot: <b>"the kitchen",</b> with wood burning stove, and <b>"ironing"</b>.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue;">All information or suggestions concerning the artist are welcomed.</span></span></div><p></p>Gerriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01985746967465520617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706607912742642133.post-9792846320047431432024-01-17T10:39:00.002+01:002024-01-17T10:39:53.489+01:00A mystery and mystic print......<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Johanna Goerke-Cassirer (b. 1942) </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Contemporary Berlin painter and graphic artist </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv0brr8_h3SXa8wSIGtmRtwGP7KpH8QUpKEwAxeGHFMTXd9QQs19OWZcFUks-EFthMQU1hmPEXtLynVcPU-l1I22cvLgTSXTOn0hHmb8A1zMYDJ6wv9QqNXqDe3L1ugwwErjmUKcIXJI1Phv2Oxb9OcPEX4XcoQXRfhiRvUs03JOI-6zsOq4jmmEDjn94d/s1400/Mysterien%201978.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1266" data-original-width="1400" height="361" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv0brr8_h3SXa8wSIGtmRtwGP7KpH8QUpKEwAxeGHFMTXd9QQs19OWZcFUks-EFthMQU1hmPEXtLynVcPU-l1I22cvLgTSXTOn0hHmb8A1zMYDJ6wv9QqNXqDe3L1ugwwErjmUKcIXJI1Phv2Oxb9OcPEX4XcoQXRfhiRvUs03JOI-6zsOq4jmmEDjn94d/w400-h361/Mysterien%201978.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>It took me also some time to "see the image" of the jazz players in <b>Kandinsky</b>'s abstract woodblock print.

Although captain lieutenant Hans Christoffer left this world in a duel he managed to produce one son in his short marriage. This son's off-spring became rich dealing in cloth in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Leiden. The Gewins married into Dutch nobility, became pastors, scolars, manor owners, doctors and architects.

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #073763;">This is the account, résumé or summing up of my recent investigations into the forgotten life of Berlin flower painter <b>Rahel Bodlaender</b>. I stumbled over her name in another of my research projects: that of Berlin Secessionist and flower painter, portraitist and leader of the VdBK drawing classes <b>George Mosson </b>(1851-1933), in his life-time an artist of great fame, but today like Rahel almost completely obscured. Unlike his many famous Berlin fellow artists (Max Liebermann, Lovis Corinth) George Mosson has never been the subject of any serious research leading to a monograph or cataloque résumé. This posting is the introduction to the next composed around his person and his work. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #073763;">Rahel Bodlaender</span></b><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #073763;"> perished (was left to die) a week after arriving in Theresienstadt (North of Prag, halfway Dresden) with “<i>Transort 1/60</i> ” which had departed from Berlin Sept. 7<sup>th</sup> 1942. She was 79 years old. She died in the most inhumane, horrifying and desolate conditions from “<i>ENTERITIS/Darmkatarrh</i>”, a routine “diagnosis” found in most official death certificates after her death in this hell on earth. The Nazis were as meticulous as they were criminal book keepers. Death by starvation, by fleas, lice and infectious diseases, dysentery, typhus and cholera. In all death certificates the doctors have Jewish names too. I suppose they literally eventually “shared the same faith”. Why spend Arian doctors on old, sick and dying Jewish people that weren’t even regarded as humans ? </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Since the day I found it I presumed it to be "<b>Pomona</b>" the goddess of fruitful abundance and protectress of gardens, harvest and fruits. I was probably blinded by the divine buttocks and jumping to conclusions I completely missed the point: <u>there aren't any fruits ! </u></span><br />

It was run by a friendly elderly (in my memory) Jewish (I think they were ) couple with the family name of Tobias. They were somehow related to my stepfather. It's too late to ask. </span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The goddess Pomona is usually associated and depicted with fruits, usually an apple or apples and she has been the subject of paintings and sculptures since ancient times. This example by an unknown artist telling the myth of Pomona being seduced (all mythical women were seducable and seduced by the gods) by Vetrumnis. </span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My Pomona however does not seem to be involved with fruits or apples although the artist did relate her posture to holding or inspecting some branches above her head. Maybe it was to emphasize "certain parts" of her beautiful body, I mean, when wearing high heels would be not an obvious or logic choice, standing in a field, being naked and obviously being invited to model in a pastoral landscape. </span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The solution to the question "what is it ?", came to me recently: it is a copy of another version of (a detail of) a lithographic print by <b>Emile René Menard</b> (1862-1930) a French academic painter. Another version (in red chalk) is kept in the London British Museum. The detail, above right<u>(now with fruits !</u>) is from the original print below: </span><br />

Possibly </span><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Menard choose the title to avoid naming and explaining the relation with an annoyingly bored looking second figure.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My personal opinion is that it would have been wiser to dismiss the competing for attention damsel on the left. It takes the attention from the gravitational centre of the original composition (the buttocks !). I suppose Menard has wrongly added the bored "cousin" to balance his composition. He shouldn't have, as my photoshopped version proves: much, much better, I'ld say: near perfect. </span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The best description I found describing Menard he was an "intimist", a painter of intimate situations...... He'd studied under William Bougereau and was friends with <b>Gustave Courbe</b>t and <b>Lucien Simon</b>. In this painting, composition-wise, he was smart not to disturb the centre of gravity (where the eyes come to rest) which im(not so)ho, is the classic updone red hair of the model.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After completing my “rounds” on the bike, and doing my research the "items" turned out to be hand woven “landscape art” by one T. Braster. It was not difficult finding the link between my recent acquisitions and the artist who had lived not far away from where we live, for the last 50 years and had passed away to meet her maker exactly (to the day !) one year ago. </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Besides her obituary (she died last year, reaching the aged of 97 in the nearby village of Grou) there’s a local newspaper interview dated several years back in which she explains what her art was about. As a self taught hand weaver she had held a fascination and had become inspired by the geometry in the landscapes she saw, translating the patterns and lines into the fabric created in her loom. Created by an 80 year old: they must be the result of a lifetime of loving observation and skill this posting is also kind of a tribute. </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She had been married to <b>Jaap (Jacob) van der Meij </b>(Amsterdam 1923–1999 Spain), sculptor, painter and monumental artist who is buried in Hollum -Ameland. He'd studied at the academy in Amsterdam under <b>Heinrich Campendonk </b>(1889-1957), once a member of “der Blaue Reiter” and friends with Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc he'd fled the Nazi regime and taught monumental art in Amsterdam since 1935. </span><span style="font-family: "cambria";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Campendonck had also been the teacher of <b>Max Reneman</b>(1923-1978), a painter and sculptor but also a dentist who died in a plain crash near Sicily in 1978. 1878 was the year I graduated as a young dentist and started my professional career on the island of Ameland. Reneman was, when he died tragically young one of the international icons of <b>prosthodontics</b>, the practise, study and theory of dynamics in full dentures in Amsterdam. Along his professional line of research also worked his colleague and close friend prof. <b>Guus Flögel</b>( b. 1925) who happened to be my prosthodontics professor in Utrecht. They revolutionized the world of prosthodontics getting much attention (and probably funds for much needed research) combining research and practise with humour and art.</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For Frisians, van der Meij’s most capturing work is probably the monumental (really huge) concrete statue of 3 impressive "giants" near the city of Dokkum. On a clear day they could easily view their makers ancestral island of Ameland on the horizon. Jaap van der Meij’s roots lay on the island of Ameland. His ancestors have lived and loved for generations on the island: sea captains, fishermen, wheelmakers and peasants. He was laid to rest among his ancestors.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The obituary of Truus Braster mentions very few people. Becoming so old and having no children (I think, although Jacobs grave monument may suggest otherwise) most people met in their lifetime will have “gone before”. But her friend <b>Jentsje Popma</b>(b. Zwolle 1921 and also nearing 100) a contemporary Frisian painter born in the same year as Truus Braster, was. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This print is being offered in the respected Frankfurt <b>Gallerie Joseph Fach</b>, known for its remarkable collection of very fine prints. The price of € 1250 is suggesting it is of extreme quality and/or importance, which it possibly is. It came to my knowledge some time ago and I tried to find out more about this print + the artist. Would I have it to my collection of German women printmakers ? Yes of course. But I'm not a masochist believing it ever will, just cannot afford. I suggest this print should be in the collections of the Hamburgs Kunsthalle. Unobtainable as it may be the most interesting part for me and my research is the artist being completely unknown. She is not known by any other work nor is there any biographic link to be found. Sadly Hildegard has not left a clue or a date on her print. The Barmbek Gaswerke were in function from the 1870's until the 1960's. I suggest it was created around 1910. </span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It reminded me technically (probably by the use of mainly gray and the similar perspective, and probably because it was created by an artist related with Hamburg) of Agnes Salomon's Brussels Boulevard Vaugirard print (see posting <a href="https://gerrie-thefriendlyghost.blogspot.com/search?q=vaugirard">here*</a> ) or follow the label attached to this posting. For a long time Agnes graphic history consisted of just one print, untill my research disclosed a second one. Agnes probably gave up her artistic career after marriage and dedicated her life to motherhood. Could this hint at a shared faith (motherhood), could their prints point to at a mutual teacher ? And who would/could that possibly be ?. We know Agnes attended Munich graphic classes and also went to Paris and although I have a suggestion I will keep the name for later or to the serious researcher who may stumble over this posting and offers to help to identify Hildegard Eichwede. </span></div>

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Hildegard Eichwede</b> no doubt will prove to be a member of the Eichwede family from Hannover.

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I tried to tie Hildegard to this family but so far I did not succeed. Here's what I did find out in a nutshell. Hopefully a reader (who now must pass the despicable Google Warning System for which I feel deeply embarrassed and offer my sincere apologies) will come to aid. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Friedrich was succeeded as director by his son <b>Wilhelm Christian Eduard Eichwede </b>(1818-1890) but with him the connection to the next generation of Hannover family members came to a halt. I did not find the name of his wife, nor of any brothers or sisters. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He is probably the father of more then one son because from the mid 1800's a <b>Heinrich, Eduard </b>and<b> Ernst Eichwede </b>all from Hannover can be found holding several industrial patents.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The most promising link might be to the family of Hannover architect <b>Christian Hubert Julius Eichwede</b> (1853-1936) who was the father of an important but short lived Hannover architect <b>Ferdinand Eichwede</b> (1878-1909) who was the father of concert pianist <b>Ingrid Eichwede</b> (b. 1905) married to Jewish composer <b>Hans Helle</b>r (captured, and later killed, in Paris 1940 by the occupying Germans). After hiding she managed to escape with their son Peter (1929-2002) to America, Peter was also a painter. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am confused, pleasantly surprised and humbled by the many supporting emails and comments I received (and still am receiving) after writing the obituary for the Linosaurus blog. Thank you. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Although still extremely disappointed and annoyed by such ignorance and arrogance I also noticed: a great many readers obviously took the hurdle of the "<i>Beware this site with objectionable contents</i>" button installed by an anonymous and coward reader who did not have the guts to address to me personally and tell me wat his/hers problem were. A policy Google suggests btw. but obviously does not follow up. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After multiple requests to <b><i>please not to delete old posts</i></b>, I of course decided not to take the Blogs contents "down". Directly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have invested 10 years of my life in this Blog as in both books describing my exceptional collection of prints (richly illustrations and with comments) as well as the second book containing the many hundreds of short biographies dedicated to the obscured German (speaking) women woodblock printmaking artist (were born in the 19th century) and the connections with their teachers, academies, galleries, colleagues and friends accompanied by their Baltic, Scandinavian, Dutch, Hungarian and Russian sisters and colleagues.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Besides I thin I need this platform in the near future to announce the publication for those most interested, the Blog readers. Even if I put it to rest for a while recovering from yesterdays silly, shameful and painful events.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thank you for your sympathy and support. </span></div>
