• Birthday wishes to Friedrich Nietzsche, born on this day in 1844! – The German philosopher and cultural critic published intensively in the 1870s and 1880s, and is famous for uncompromising criticisms of traditional European morality and religion, as well as of conventional philosophical ideas and social and political pieties associated with modernity. This portrait was completed by Edvard Munch, who is most famous for The Scream. Nietzsche's nihilist beliefs coincide with Munch's depiction of existential dread. – Portrait of Friedrich Nietzsche by Edvard Munch, c. 1906; Munch-museet, Oslo, Norway; De Agostini Picture Library/Bridgeman Images. – #NeueGalerie #NeueGalerieNY #FriedrichNietzsche #Nietzsche #GermanPhilosopher #Philosophy #EdvardMunch

  • Birthday wishes to Georg Scholz, born on this day in 1890! – In this self-portrait, Scholz presents himself “eye to eye” with a luxurious Mercedes car in the shop window on the left. He uses a traditional artistic technique to display his own status in an ironically refracted analogy by means of a status symbol (automobile). Self-confidence and self-questioning are visibly counterbalanced, just as the pair of eyes and the pair of headlights are aligned horizontally. – This work was presented in the Neue Galerie's recent exhibition The Self-Portrait, from Schiele to Beckmann. – Georg Scholz (1890-1945), Self-Portrait in front of an Advertising Column, 1926, oil on canvas 60 x 77.8 cm (23 5/8 x 30 5/8 in.).

  • Today on Yom Kippur, a time for thoughtful reflection, we wish all who observe a meaningful holiday. – The shofar, the ram’s horn, is one of the strongest images associated with the Jewish High Holy Days. The blast of the horn heralds the New Year celebration on Rosh Hashanah, and marks the end of a day of self-reflection and fasting on Yom Kippur. In ancient times before one relied on a clock, the horn blast served as an alert to the community. Jewish artist Max Beckmann created this self-portrait after he fled Germany because of the Nazi's rise to power. Here, he holds a horn in his hand and we believe he wants to blast it like a shofar, to wake up the world, as a warning to what the Nazis would inflict on humanity. – Max Beckmann (1884-1950), Self-Portrait with Horn, 1938, oil on canvas.
