Today is #MoisseyKogan’s 146th birthday and here to mark the occasion is a variant cast of his Torso, artificial stone (pierre artificielle, Kunststein), c. 32.7 cm, 1927-28. This image comes from his friend Jan Engelman’s publication also named ‘Torso’ for the journal De Gemeenschap 1931.

Just a guess, though based on work I did on Nierendorf and Klee. Worth checking out either way. Thanks

Ownership

Brought by Nierendorf who took ownship of a large group of works by Klee after his death. Former partner of Neumann. Just a thought

Gorgeous with a powerful personality shining through

Romanesque carving on the font at Toller Fratrum church, Dorset

Also temple portals all round. A magical place

Once we've established, as we have repeatedly, that "deport" is the wrong word, I'd support "rendition," which fully carries the meaning of what's going on and sounds, at least to me, properly odiously fascistic.

"This is our career & our triumph. The taking of our lives—lives of a good shoemaker & poor fish-peddler—all! That last moment belongs to us—that agony is our triumph."

Près de Montparnasse, cette historique académie d'art ayant formé Chagall ou Modigliani est menacée de fermer Située à quelques pas du quartier de Montparnasse, l'Académie de la Grande Chaumière est une école historique de modèle vivant.

Située non loin de Montparnasse, l’Académie de la Grande Chaumière est une école historique de modèle vivant, qui a accueilli Louise Bourgeois ou Amedeo Modigliani. Menacée d’être expulsée depuis plusieurs années, elle se voit contrainte de quitter les lieux www.pariszigzag.fr/paris-au-quo...

Takanori Oguiss's views of the backstreets of Montmartre form the greatest part of his work . A follower of Maurice Utrillo, he trained in Tokyo and moved to Paris in 1927 to join his friend Tsuguharu Foujita. This work dates from around 1930.

Ce dessin méconnu de Picasso, dans le livre d'or d'Oradour-sur-Glane, raconte l'histoire de la "Caravane de la paix" Oublié pendant près de 40 ans, le livre d'or d'Oradour-sur-Glane recèle un véritable trésor.

L’œuvre de Picasso est une gouache sur papier, très fragile. Le visage de cet enfant, sorti de l’imaginaire du peintre, pourrait représenter l’un des deux enfants espagnols assassinés dans l’église d'Oradour-sur-Glane #caravanedelapaix #picasso

Aurèle Barraud painted his self‑portrait many times during his lifetime as a way of defining himself; at times relentless, self absorbed to something approaching satisfaction, this work from 1927 was completed when he was aged 24 and on the eve of an exhibition in Paris.

#MoisseyKogan, Groups of Women between Trees, woodcut, 19 x 34 cm, probably late 1920s. This image taken from the exhibition catalogue, Kogan, 1960 produced to accompany the show at the Clemens Sels Museum, Neuss, Germany, which owns this impression of the print 2/2

Moissey Kogan made comparable prints in editions of 25. In this case, we don’t know how many exist or were produced in the first place. 1/2

Two near lifesize sculptures found during excavations of Pompeii tomb The detailed relics were found in a necropolis and experts believe the woman depicted could have been an important priestess

Experts believe the sculpture shows an important woman, perhaps a priestess of Ceres, goddess of agriculture and fertility, because of her jewellery and accessories - earrings, rings and bracelets, and lunula, a crescent moon pendant hanging from her necklace www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Unfortunately, the edition I consulted (years ago) does not provide useful information in that regard.

The same figure also appears in Cecil Roth’s book, Jewish Art. An Illustrated History, 1961. And then no further sign of it. I hope it is somewhere safe in a private collection. Any leads would be gratefully received. #MoisseyKogan #catalogueraisonné

Looking for the whereabouts of this specific terracotta cast of Sitzende/ Weibliche Figur (Seated Woman/Female Figure) by #MoisseyKogan. This image from the art journal, Deutsche Kunst und Dekoration, 1927/28.
