摘要
1952年,东柏林Märkisches博物馆馆长发现了三幅马蒂亚斯·格吕纽瓦尔德的画,这些画被粘贴在路德圣经中。这一非凡的发现引发了一个引人入胜的艺术历史间谍故事,但也为构建Grünewald作为革命家和农民同情者的陈词滥调提供了一个生成时刻。我通过询问东德艺术历史学家W·K·Zülch对新发现的绘画的分析,研究了这位艺术家转变为民主德国社会主义理想的化身,这些分析使用了形式分析——而不是历史证据——将Grünewald描绘成1525年德国农民战争的意识形态同谋。值得注意的是,Zülch展示了艺术家的贸易工具(“Kreidstift und Farben”),作为一种调和形式和政治内容的方式,为SED的国家赞助文化提供了另一种社会主义模式。
Mit dem Kreidestift und Farben: Revolutionizing Grünewald in the German Democratic Republic
In 1952, the director of East Berlin's Märkisches Museum discovered three drawings by Matthias Grünewald pasted into a Luther Bible. This remarkable find set off a fascinating tale of art-historical espionage, but also served as a generative moment for the construction of the well-worn cliché of Grünewald as a revolutionary and peasant sympathizer. I examine the artist's transformation into an embodiment of the GDR's socialist ideals by interrogating East German art historian W. K. Zülch's analyses of the newly discovered drawings, which used formal analysis – rather than historical evidence – to figure Grünewald as an ideological accomplice in the German Peasants' War of 1525. Significantly, Zülch presented the tools of the artist's trade (‘Kreidestift und Farben’) as a way to reconcile form and political content, offering an alternative Socialist model to the SED's state-sponsored culture.
