A year later, the young, self-taught painter Otto Nagel and the well-known artist met again at a Kollwitz presentation at the Workers’ Art Exhibition and “(…) this is where the beautiful, friendly relationship began, which lasted until her death in 1945.”<\/em> (Otto Nagel, K\u00e4the Kollwitz, 1971, p. 40)
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Otto Nagel, the self-taught artist from Wedding with his Berlin open-air studio, saw his artistic role models in K\u00e4the Kollwitz, Hans Baluschek and Heinrich Zille. His many political activities prevented him from studying at Berlin art schools, so he took drawing courses at the city evening school and drew people in their surroundings outdoors. In the 1920s, like K\u00e4the Kollwitz, he was involved in many campaigns against hunger, war and poverty. Nagel organised many exhibitions for International Workers’ Aid and took large exhibitions of K\u00e4the Kollwitz’s work as far away as Russia. After 1933, difficult times began for both artists. Nevertheless, they remained in lively dialogue with each other until shortly before K\u00e4the Kollwitz death in April 1945. Otto Nagel maintained contact with Kollwitz’ son Hans even after the division of Germany and, as President of the Academy of Arts East in the GDR, initiated many exhibitions of her work, wrote publications about her and prepared a catalogue raisonn\u00e9 of her hand drawings.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”11424″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” css=”.vc_custom_1724161130445{padding-right: 25px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1724357856627{margin-right: 50px !important;padding-right: 50px !important;}”]What was Otto Nagel like beyond being an artist and academy president? Half a century after the death of her grandfather, whom she never got to know, granddaughter Salka-Valka Schallenberg sets out on the trail of Otto Nagel and his Russian wife Walentina, known to everyone as Walli. She traces the stages of her grandparents’ lives, from the Weimar Republic to National Socialism and the early years in the GDR. In fictitious encounters, the author recounts what Otto and Walentina Nagel told and left unsaid, drawing on intensively researched archive material as well as notes, letters and publications by her grandparents and exploring their turbulent family history.<\/p>\n
