Abstract

Abstract Adolph Menzel (1815–1905), the renowned realist and painter of Prussian history, had a surprising penchant for rebus puzzles. Relatively unknown and unstudied, Menzel’s rebuses open the door to a radical reevaluation of his realism. Analysis of these puzzles and their historical affiliation with the concepts of Phantasie (imagination) and Bildung (self-cultivation), establishes them as a valuable heuristic for understanding Menzel’s various processes of “work,” and their significance for the viewer. Aligning realism with the concept of Bildung, Menzel’s rebuses reveal his realism to be a program of aesthetic education with formidable cultural and political implications.

再现与现实主义:阿道夫·门泽尔“作品”的前瞻

摘要阿道夫·门泽尔（1815–1905），普鲁士历史上著名的现实主义者和画家，对rebs谜题有着惊人的爱好。门泽尔的回绝相对不为人知，也未经研究，为彻底重新评估他的现实主义打开了大门。对这些谜题及其与Phantasie（想象力）和Bildung（自我修养）概念的历史联系的分析，使它们成为理解门泽尔的各种“工作”过程及其对观众意义的宝贵启发。门泽尔的回绝将现实主义与毕登的概念相结合，揭示了他的现实主义是一个具有强大文化和政治意义的美育计划。
