LOUISIANA MUSEUM OF MODERN ART

The Cold Gaze: Germany in the 1920s

Edited by Lćrke Rydal Jřrgensen, Kirsten Degel. Foreword by Kirsten Degel, Poul Erik Třjner. Text by Anthony Lane, Catherine Wermester, Werner Möller, Herbert Molderings, Patrick Rössler, Angela Lampe, Christopher Isherwood, Alfred Döblin, Irmgard Keun, Bertolt Brecht, Marieluise Fleisser, Vicki Baum, Hans Fallada.

The Cold Gaze: Germany in the 1920s

A sweeping journey through the roaring art and culture of the Weimar Republic

At the center of this volume are the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) artists—Otto Dix, George Grosz and Albert Renger-Patzsch—and the groundbreaking photographer August Sander, in particular his famed series People of the 20th Century, which portrayed both prominent and anonymous Germans from all parts of society in a simple and matter-of-fact pictorial style. Sander and the Neue Sachlichkeit artists both pursued an anti-Expressionist aesthetic, embracing social engagement and a rejection of romantic idealism. The Cold Gaze also looks at the extraordinary writers associated with the Weimar Republic, such as Vicki Baum, Bertolt Brecht, Alfred Döblin, Hans Fallada, Erich Kästner and Christopher Isherwood. Further points of focus by a range of contributing writers include Germany’s Americanization during this period; Marcel Breuer’s innovations in furniture design; the invention and ascent of the Futura font; the Weimar cult of technology; and much more.
This richly illustrated catalog unfolds a period that was at once euphoric and harsh, an extraordinary moment in modernity birthed in the shadows between two world wars.

The Cold Gaze of trauma in Weimar art

Featured spreads are from The Cold Gaze: Germany in the 1920s, the fascinating new release from the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark. “The first world war and the defeat led to a culture in Germany characterized by a general shame and embarrassment about pre-war utopias,” Sophie Goetzmann writes. “The 1920s saw the emergence of what German literary historian Helmut Lethen calls the ‘cold persona,’ a new social type seeking to avoid the feeling of humiliation by adopting a mask of coldness and indifference. This new behavior deeply changed the practice of portraiture. Where before it focused on the models’ psychological expression, it now concentrated on their external markers. … The portraits appear cold, emptied of all feeling, in resonance with their often neutral and deserted backgrounds. The subjects appear alone, with a detached expression and an absent, even empty gaze. They seem to be trying to disguise their feelings behind an impenetrable appearance.” continue to blog
