Professor of Art History Kimberly Smith published an essay titled “Austria’s Dilemma: Wartime Politics and Propaganda in Schiele’s Landscapes” in the catalog Egon Schiele: Living Landscapes  (Prestel, 2024), published to accompany the exhibition of the same name at the Neue Galerie in New York. The essay examines Schiele’s participation in the 1917 Austrian Exhibition in Stockholm as an intensely concentrated moment of externally directed propaganda, in which his images of organic towns and rural scenes functioned as environmentally deterministic claims for a pluralistic yet united Austria in a post-war Europe.

The essays address specific collaborations and relationships in the Blue Rider movement, and are titled: “The French Connection,” “Else Lasker-Schüler and Franz Marc’s Mail Art,” “Reiterinnen: Women Riders,” and “Fritz Burger: The Art Historical Connection.” The catalogue was edited by Natalia Sidlina, and published in conjunction with the landmark exhibition, “Expressionists: Kandinsky, Münter and the Blue Rider” at the Tate Modern, London, on view until October 20, 2024.
