A champion of modern art, Lichtwark stirred controversy among the city's bourgeoisie by commissioning contemporary German paintings for the Kunsthalle by secession artists and supporting the formation of an independent art movement in Hamburg influenced by French impressionism. Drawing on an extensive amount of archival research, and combining both historical and art historical approaches, Kay examines Lichtwark's cultural politics, their effect on the Hamburg bourgeoisie, and the subsequent changes to the cultural scene in Hamburg.Kay focuses her study on two modern art scandals in Hamburg and shows that Lichtwark faced strong public resistance in the 1890s, winning significant support from the city's bourgeoisie only after 1900. Lichtwark's struggle to gain acceptance for impressionism highlights conflicts within the city's middle class as to what constituted acceptable styles and subjects of German art, with opposition groups demanding a traditional and 'pure' German culture. The author also considers who within the Hamburg bourgeoisie supported Lichtwark, and why. Kay's local study of the debate over cultural modernism in Imperial Germany makes a significant contribution both to the study of modernism and to the history of German culture. 606 $aPainting, German$y19th century 606 $aPainting, German$y20th century 606 $aArt patronage$zGermany$zHamburg 606 $aArt and the middle class$zGermany$zHamburg 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPainting, German 615 0$aPainting, German 615 0$aArt patronage 615 0$aArt and the middle class 676 $a759.3/515 700 $aKay$b Carolyn Helen$01048531 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456451003321 996 $aArt and the German bourgeoisie$92476884 997 $aUNINA
