Moritz Coschell

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moritz Coschell , (also known as Max Coschell and Moritz Kocheles ; born  September 18, 1872 in Vienna , †  July 11, 1943 there ) was an Austrian society painter and illustrator .

Life

Moritz Coschell was born in Vienna as the son of Leo Kocheles and his wife Frumet (also: Frimet, also called: Fanny, née Stolzberg). The family name was changed to Coschell in 1896. The parents' apartment was at Obere Donaustraße 53 in Vienna.

He began his studies at the Vienna State Trade School with the sculptor Anton Brenek and from 1899 at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna with the genre painter Franz Rumpler and with the history and portrait painter August Eisenmenger and studied with Albert Windisch at the Städelschule in Frankfurt . From 1899 he was based in Berlin , where he quickly established himself as a painter in society.

During the First World War he served as a captain in the Austrian army . On January 11, 1921, he married the banker's daughter of a respected Dortmund family, Lucy Agnes Emma Wiskott. From this marriage comes the son Joachim Friedrich Leopold Coschell (born December 30, 1922 in Berlin-Charlottenburg , † 1944 in France ).

Moritz Coschell, like his wife Lucy, was of Protestant faith. Due to his Jewish descent, however, his professional license was withdrawn in 1933, which permanently worsened his living situation. His works were considered degenerate and ostracized and he was therefore no longer commissioned, which is why the income was not received. The hasty move to Dortmund to the wife's parents' house, Prinz-Friedrich-Karl-Strasse 37, did not improve the situation. Because the house staff of the in-laws included people who were younger than 40 years of age, their brother-in-law should have taken a room nearby, in accordance with the Nuremberg Laws . Coschell could not have lived with his family and would only have been with them during the day.

His in-laws' friends had avoided the Wiskott house. When he was finally no longer allowed to live in the rented room, Coschell fled to Vienna without his family. There he was able to maintain a studio for a while. There he quickly became - according to the lawyer Joachim Weichert - one of the leading artists. After the annexation of Austria in 1938, Coschell was in the same situation as before in Berlin. The World War I mark of merit on his lapel prevented his deportation at the last minute . An SS man led him out of the queue again.

Survival in Vienna became increasingly difficult for him and his family, who always visited him. He was forced to give up the profession of painter again and complained in a letter from 1939 to Joachim Weichert, who emigrated in 1938, that his “dry oil paints did not provide any relief from permanent hunger”. The daily fear and defamation made him and his family consider suicide in mid-1939 . From 1939 he made active efforts to emigrate to the USA . Coschell wrote to Thomas Mann and Karl Nierendorf and tried in a few letters to get him and his family to leave the country, but this did not succeed. Other attempts, such as that of a Swedish pastor who tried through the American Cormittee for Christian German Refugees , the Art Associates, also failed.

Coschell last lived in the 1st district of Vienna . Despite being banned from practicing his profession, Coschell continued to paint and paintings were created that reflected his despair, but also his resistance.

He fell seriously ill and died penniless and impoverished on July 11, 1943 in a provisional Israelite hospital of the former Talmud Tora School (today: Malzgasse Synagogue ) in Vienna. His wife and son, who had been informed about the painter's illness by a neighbor, had managed to travel to Vienna to see him shortly before he died. The treating doctor informed Lucy Coschell that he could have successfully treated her husband in the modern Israeli hospital that had been confiscated by the SS , but that the necessary operation was not possible in the temporary accommodation.

According to the racial ideology of the National Socialists, Moritz Coschell's son Joachim was regarded as a “ half-Jew ” and thus “unworthy of defense”. He was drafted into a labor battalion in 1944 and died while serving in the rebuilding of destroyed bridges in France.

Moritz Coschell was buried in the Vienna Central Cemetery , IV. Gate (group 19k, row 7, grave no. 2).

Hans Wolfgang Weichert (later: John Wykert Husserl, born November 7, 1927 in Vienna; † March 16, 2016 in New York ), one of Coschell's last contemporary witnesses, knew the painter personally. Wykert was a co-author of the book The Book of Alfred Kantor , in which Kantor illustrated his everyday life in the concentration camps Auschwitz , Theresienstadt and Schwarzheide . Wykert lived in Manhattan , New York, and was the son of Joachim and Katharina (called: Käthe) Weichert, who were on friendly terms with Coschell. They emigrated to the USA in 1938. There were some correspondence with each other with harrowing and desperate descriptions of life in Vienna from 1938 onwards. According to her son John Wykert, Käthe Weichert tried to bring Coschell out of the dramatic and life-threatening situation to the USA, but this failed. In an interview, John Wykert honored Moritz Coschell as a supposed family member and also because of his artistic work.

Coschell had a particularly friendly relationship with Ilse Weichert (née Gruenberg, born September 16, 1895), whom he often portrayed in Vienna and who wrote and signed her loving dedications on the paintings. So far, seven paintings are known, including the female nude, which was created in the late 1920s. For example, the portrait photograph of a postcard has the text on the back: “Dedicated to the beautiful afternoon of April 10, 1941 Ilse.” She was Hans Weichert's cousin. Ilse Weichert was murdered on September 18, 1942 in the Maly Trostinez extermination camp .

Christa von Germersheim from Dortmund also knew Moritz Coschell personally. He was a friend of her family and portrayed her and her brother. He also drew the string quintet with conductors including her father Werner Othmer, Paul Wiskott, Oberbaur, Schüppel and the well-known composer Leo Blech .

He signed the two etchings The Crucifixion and The Descent from the Cross with “As a dedication to Mr. Werner Othmer, Moritz Coschell 1923”. He was always welcome and also took his son Joachim with him to play with the children in the garden.

Rediscovery

One of the historical discoveries in the summer of 2014 was the lost paintings from the great Berlin art exhibitions from 1903 to 1930. They had remained in a Westphalian private art collection for decades .

The author Lore Junge , who was friends with the Wiskotts, campaigned for the remaining paintings and drawings to be handed over to the Museum for Art and Cultural History Dortmund after the death of Coschell's wife Lucy in 1991 .

Works

Overview

Coschell came out particularly as a chronicler and portrayal of Berlin and Vienna society. Numerous portraits of prominent personalities were created, such as in the Berlin Salon and in the Great Berlin Art Exhibition, the half-pieces of the art dealer Alfred Gold ( portrait of Dr. A. G. , 1904) and his wife Martha ( portrait of Dr. A. G. , 1910), the drawing Arthur Nikisch at the conductor's desk (1906), the composer Leo Blech as conductor with the string quartet (1923), the portrait etching of the pianist Franz Liszt , the portrait of the critic Alfred Kerr , the writers Thomas Mann , Bernhard Kellermann and Isidor Kastan , the Viennese cellist and Composer Heinrich Grünfeld , 1930, the operetta composer and co-owner of the Johann Strauss Theater in Vienna Richard von Goldberger (1903), the composer Ferruccio Busoni , the noble family Baron von Prillwitz, Barons vondecke and the Africa traveler Graf d'Harnoncourt. He also made portraits of his family and the father-in-law and banker of Bank Wiskott & Co, Heinrich Paul Wiskott . He also portrayed people from his close circle of friends in Vienna, for example Ilse Weichert, the niece of the prominent philosopher Edmund Husserl , whose family was very close to him.

Moritz Coschell was very respected by the Prussian nobility . The German imperial couple Wilhelm II and Auguste Viktoria visited him in his studio and bought some paintings. Coschell also made a church interior for the German Emperor.

Berlin, GBK 1910

Martha (Margarethe) Gold, b. Zadek (born February 17, 1885 in Berlin; † August 16, 1960 in Portland) was married to Alfred Gold and both had a daughter, the later sculptor Marianne Gold Littman (* 1907; † March 23, 1999). Her husband was one of the most important art dealers and belonged to the Viennese Modernism of the late 19th century, the “ Jeunesse dorée ” in Vienna and Berlin, and also called himself Fin de Siécle or Alwin Goldeck .

meaning

In a letter of support to Thomas Mann's New York office on July 12, 1939, Coschell's friend Joachim Weichert wrote that Kaiser Wilhelm II had personally come to his studio and bought some paintings. Sister-in-law Nora Wiskott reported that the German Empress visited the artist several times in his Berlin studio and bought two portraits.

Reviews

“Moritz Coschell, the painter of the picture that exerts a strong attraction on many of its visitors at this year's Great Berlin Art Exhibition, was a born Austrian but has recently moved to Berlin. Up until that exhibition he had drawn attention here exclusively through his portraits of well-known personalities. With this extensive, effective, well drawn and painted picture with life-size figures, he also surprised those who thought they knew performance. "

- Critique (excerpt) of the Berlin art exhibition , 1903

“The portraits of the man and the boy are beautiful proofs of his art of grasping and writing down a character. I especially like the portrait of the boy in its simplicity; it reminds me of a small Rembrandt self-portrait that shows the painter from the front, a lock of hair pulled over his shoulder. The simplicity, the few tones, the large black, calm surface, the puzzling look in the boy's eyes, these are pretty things that appeal to those who have an organ for values ​​in a creation. "

- Georg Hermann : Critique (excerpt) of the Berlin art exhibition. 1904 In: East and West .

“He [Coschell] is represented here by eight oil paintings, which are among his most artificial works of great painterly as well as moving emotional impact, and by six etchings. Next to this great one, Coschell stands out from the crowd with a brilliant painterly creation. "

- Critique (excerpt) of the exhibition of Jewish artists. 1908, In: H. Vollmar: Berlin.

“The portrait is well represented. If one delves into the nature and expression of this artist's portraits, one discovers that it is not enough for him to merely find the external similarity. What matters more to him is the spiritual depth, what is behind the painterly, the individual soulfulness that can be seen in so many pictures of consistent impressionism, which for the sake of its optical effect, also a human face like a still life or a Treats landscape, searches in vain. "

- Critique of the exhibition Coschell. 1908, Berlin In: Allgemeine Zeitung des Judentums .

"The portrait" Bernhard Kellermann "demands special attention from our co-believer M. Coschell, who is otherwise known for his genre images, also from Jewish life."

- Criticism (excerpt) Allgemeine Zeitung des Judentums , 73rd volume no. 28, Berlin 9 July 1909 page 333/334 “The Salon 1909” by Dr. Friedeberg.
