Matera in posa
Photography has played an important role in framing popular perceptions of Matera. Scholarship has focused on its representation following 1945. Yet the fact that a photographic portrait of Matera existed before this time is often overlooked. Photographs of the city pre-dating 1920 were mostly published as postcards by local entrepreneurs. This article analyzes a selection of these in the context of evolving representations of Matera and Basilica…
Steamship nationalism
Between 1912 and 1914, the Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Aktien-Gesellschaft (HAPAG) launched a trio of transatlantic passenger liners: the Imperator, Vaterland and Bismarck. These have attracted considerable scholarly and popular interest, but their promotion and reception as national monuments has received little detailed consideration. This article shows how and in what manner the Imperator-class vessels were presented to the German public…

Picturing the Imperator
The morning of May 23, 1912, witnessed the christening of a new German icon. For many Germans, it was a wonder of the modern age, a powerful symbol of the nation's achievements in industry, engineering, and technology.

Some said it expressed the character of the German people, in a manner similar to Cologne Cathedral and Sanssouci, the pa…
Aby Warburg's Hamburg Comedy
This article examines an unpublished play written by Aby Warburg (1866–1929), entitled Hamburg Conversations on Art: Hamburg Comedy, 1896. The play offers a glimpse into Warburg's views on modern art and into his thinking on the various processes of modernization. It demonstrates how his enthusiasm for innovative art forms emerged, in part, as an expression of his rebellion against the religious, social and professional conventions of the German–…
The Building of Hamburg's Bismarck Memorial, 1898–1906
Hamburg's Bismarck memorial, unveiled in 1906, is considered to be one of the greatest expressions of Imperial Germany's Bismarck cult and an important development in the history of German memorial art. This article looks beyond these contextual categories to focus on the political and cultural exigencies specific to Hamburg which gave birth to the memorial. It suggests it was born of the desire of Hamburg's patrician classes to defend their poli…
