Schloss Immendorf
Schloss Immendorf was a castle in the village of Immendorf near the market town of Wullersdorf in the district of Hollabrunn District, Hollabrunn in the northeast of Lower Austria, within the Weinviertel region. From 1942 to May 1945, the Institut für Denkmalpflege (present day Bundesdenkmalamt, Vienna) rented rooms at Immendorf Castle for the purpose of storing art objects that included furniture from the Museum für angewandte Kunst Wien, Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna and the confiscated Lederer Klimt Collection. On 8 May 1945, on the last day of World War II in Europe, the castle somehow caught on fire, presumably by the retreating German army, but not necessarily the Schutzstaffel, SS as has been heretofore believed, and Nazi art theft, art stolen by the Nazis and paintings by Gustav Klimt stored therein were lost. History Early owners include Bernhard von Immendorf and the Palterndorfers. Matthias Palterndorfer appears in the tax records in 1529. The castle was the seat ...

Buildings And Structures Destroyed During World War II
A building or edifice is an enclosed structure with a roof, walls and windows, usually standing permanently in one place, such as a house or factory. Buildings come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and functions, and have been adapted throughout history for numerous factors, from building materials available, to weather conditions, land prices, ground conditions, specific uses, prestige, and aesthetic reasons. To better understand the concept, see ''Nonbuilding structure'' for contrast. Buildings serve several societal needs – occupancy, primarily as shelter from weather, security, living space, privacy, to store belongings, and to comfortably live and work. A building as a shelter represents a physical separation of the human habitat (a place of comfort and safety) from the ''outside'' (a place that may be harsh and harmful at times). buildings have been objects or canvasses of much artistic expression. In recent years, interest in sustainable planning and building practi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Klimt University Of Vienna Ceiling Paintings
The ''Klimt University of Vienna Ceiling Paintings'', also known as the ''Faculty Paintings'', were a series of paintings made by Gustav Klimt for the ceiling of the University of Vienna's Great Hall between 1900 and 1907. In 1894, Klimt was commissioned to paint the ceiling. Upon presenting his paintings, ''Philosophy'', ''Medicine'' and ''Jurisprudence'', Klimt came under attack for 'pornography' and 'perverted excess' in the paintings. None of the paintings went on display in the university. In May 1945, it is believed, all three paintings were destroyed when retreating SS forces set fire to the building they were housed in. However, this is unverified. ''Philosophy'' ''Philosophy'' was the first of the three pictures presented to the Austrian Government at the seventh Vienna Secession exhibition in March 1900. It had been awarded a gold medal at the World Exhibition in Paris, but was attacked by many art critics in his own country. Klimt described the painting as follows: ...

Gustav Klimt
Gustav Klimt (14 July 1862 – 6 February 1918) was an Austrian symbolist painter and a founding member of the Vienna Secession movement. His work helped define the Art Nouveau style in Europe. Klimt is known for his paintings, murals, sketches, and other objets d'art. Klimt's primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. Amongst his figurative works, which include allegories and portraits, he painted landscapes. He is best known for '' The Kiss'' and '' Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I.'' Among the artists of the Vienna Secession, Klimt was the most influenced by Japanese art and its methods. Early in his career, he was a successful painter of architectural decorations in a conventional manner. As he began to develop a more personal style, his work was the subject of controversy that culminated when the paintings he completed around 1900 for the ceiling of the Great Hall of the University of Vienna were criticised as pornographic. He ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
