Insiders/Outsiders: Refugees from the Nazis and their contribution to British visual culture
Tuesday 16 February 2021
Despite the traumatic nature of their dislocation and the obstacles they often encountered on arrival in the UK, those who fled here from Nazi-dominated Europe in the 1930s and 1940s made a deep, pervasive and long-lasting contribution to British culture. Focussing on the fine arts, this lecture will examine the nature of this contribution, embracing not only household names, such as Sir Ernst Gombrich, Oskar Kokoschka, Kurt Schwitters and John Heartfield, but also lesser-known figures, such as Harry Weinberger, Josef Herman and Marie-Louise von Motesiczky.
Monica Bohm-Duchen was the initiator and creative director of the Insiders/Outsiders Festival (see www.insidersoutsidersfestival.org) and contributing editor of the companion volume, so this topic, and its relevance to the present day, is close to her heart.
Monica Bohm-Duchen (MA Courtauld Institute) is an independent writer, lecturer & exhibition organizer, who has lectured on a part-time basis at Birkbeck College since 2004. The other institutions for which she has worked include Tate, the National Gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts, Sotheby's Institute of Art and the Courtauld Institute.
