Prostitutes on Erichstrasse, late 1920s These women have the shortest dresses I've seen in any European 1920s photo yet. You can clearly see knees and when police isn't around probably a bit more too. The girl on the left could be classified as a 'flapper', the cloche hat, the short dress. It does explain why many of the more conservative people back then didn't see a difference between flappers and prostitutes.

Rudolf Schwarz (1897-1961) Rudolf Schwarz (1881-1962) was virtually unknown in the United States until the last decade of his life, and his theory of sacred architecture is idiosyncratic and problematic, yet he holds an enduring influence on the way we think about modern Catholic churches and liturgy. Schwarz was a pupil and close friend of Fr. Romano Guardini, the German priest-philosopher whose liturgical experiments in the 1920s at Burg Rothenfels are considered seminal in shifting the Mass to a centralized, versus populum model, and Schwarz gave architectural form to Guardini's ideas. Fr. Romano Guardini (1885-1968) Though Guardini himself was little-known in the United States until after World War Two, his influence on the Liturgical Movement in Europe is significant. The German theologian Fr. Karl Rahner, SJ famously said that, "It is a widely known fact that the Rothenfels experiment was the immediate model for the liturgical reforms of Vatican II.” As importantly, Schwarz was a product of the sort of Bauhaus inspired modernism that was fashionable in Germany after the First World War, and it can be said that his sense of mechanical aesthetics (which ought to have been completely detachable from his liturgical sensibility) also had a strong influence in shaping the sort of barren, reductionist, stripped down warehouse churches that became fashionable in America after the Second Vatican Council. Yes, that is a church and not a warehouse.... Kirche St. Fronleichnam, Aachen, by Rudolf Schwarz Schwarz was, and still is, little known in America especially against the towering figures of Bauhaus architectural modernism - Mies der Rohe, Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, and the others who fled Hitler's Germany and found homes, careers and influence in US schools of architecture such as Harvard, Yale and IIT. He might not be known at all here if not for another Catholic priest who fled the Gestapo and arrived in America to become a dominant voice of the Liturgical Movement in the US, Fr. Hans Ansgar (H.A.) Reinhold. Reinhold both introduced and promoted Schwarz's work and ideas through strategically placed articles in secular architectural trade publications and Catholic liturgical magazines. Fr. Hans Ansgar (H.A.) Reinhold (1897-1968) For more insight on the history of how Schwarz came to influence our Catholic churches in America, I invite you to read an article I wrote a couple of years ago, originally published in Das Münster in Germany, now available on-line.

Albert Birkle (1900 Berlin - 1986 Salzburg). Tiergartenufer. Um 1924 Oil on fibreboard.Cf. Kraker 288. Signed lower right. Once more signed and titled 'Tiergartenufer' on the reverse.79,5 x 57 cm (31,2 x 22,4 in). Expertise: We are grateful to Roswita and Victor Pontzen, Archiv und Werkbetreuung Albert Birkle, Salzburg, for their help in cataloguing this lot Provenienz: Private collection North-Rhine Westphalia. Hellweg - Wochenschrift für Deutsche Kunst, vol. 7, issue 22, Essen, 5 November 1927, p. 375 (ill.).Born in Berlin, Albert Birkle made the fascination of the big city with its flood of images his primary subject matter. The absurdities of a metropolis are what the artist saw, took up and thematically tied into his works. Nocturnal strolls along lit streets are an oddity that can only thrive in an urban environment. Here Birkle not only tracks down the multi-layered phenomenon of artificial light, which he includes in his composition in an extremely attractive way. He is also interested in the individuals driven to roaming the streets at night. Birkle has summarised all this in handling that, taken together with the rather theatrical construction of the composition, cannot fail to make an impact. [KD]Good overall impression. Partially with slight craquelé. Barely noticeable rubbing due to the framing, partly with colour chippings.
