JOYCE WILLIAM: (1900-1946) American-born fascist and Nazi propaganda broadcaster to the United Kingdom during World War II, known as ‘Lord Haw-Haw’. Executed for treason. An extremely rare A.L.S., W B Joyce, three pages (separate leaves), 4to, Onslow Gardens, South Kensington, London, 16th July 1938, to Mrs. John Blair, on the printed stationery of Macnab & Joyce. Joyce states that they have been informed by Messrs. Gabbitas Thring that Blair wishes for her son to receive private tuition for the London Matriculation and continues to inform her, in part, ‘We shall be able to take your son from Monday, August 8thm until Monday, September 12th, the day before the examination. We work from 10 to 1 and 2.30 to 4.30 except on Saturdays and Sundays. We lay heavy emphasis on the value of homework. Should you decide to entrust your son to our care, we shall be able to give him the most concentrated individual attention, as the period is one in which, by reason of the holiday season, our work is normally light. As the course would be short but intense, our fee would be twelve guineas…..we think it best to remind you of the problem arising out of the English prescribed books, for the preparation of which one month is too short a time; accordingly, we would advise that the boy should begin his study of these texts at once, if he has not begun it already. We have considerable experience of this examination; and we should be most interested to secure your son’s success’. VGJohn Macnab (d.1977) was one of Joyce’s closest friends (the latter often calling the former ‘Master’) and the two men met through the British Union of Fascists when they attached themselves to Oswald Mosley. Together they established a private tutoring business offering ‘expert private tuition for university entrance and professional preliminary examinations’ as well as providing English lessons to ‘foreigners of suitable character’ interested in ‘acquiring a knowledge of our speech and customs’. However, not everyone was welcomed, and Joyce refused to teach Black or Asian students, and nor were Jews admitted. On the morning of his execution at Wandsworth prison, Joyce, after having taken holy communion, wrote two letters; one to his wife and the other to Macnab.

JOYCE WILLIAM: (1900-1946) American-born fascist and Nazi propaganda broadcaster to the United Kingdom during World War II, known as ‘Lord Haw-Haw’. Executed for treason. An extremely rare D.S., W B Joyce, two pages (separate leaves), 4to, n.p. (South Kensington, London), 23rd August 1938. The typed document is a report issued to a male student who had received private tuition from Joyce and his friend John MacNab, the business partners providing their assessments of the student’s progress under various subjects comprising English (‘The composition is excellent and should earn high marks. There is also an ability to write good critical answers on the prescribed texts, though in this work the style does not reach the high level attained in the essays…..There is little ground for apprehension on the score of this subject, which is generally thought one of the most difficult’), French (‘The vocabulary might be stronger; but it is somewhat above the average. Occasionally there are lapses in grammar which closer attention to the work in hand would have avoided’), Arithmetic & Algebra (‘Capability is shown, as well as acquaintance with the common rules. The work is generally accurate…….There are some indications that the boy was out of practice; but his intelligent cooperation daily reduces the danger of an unsatisfactory performance in the examination’), Magnetism & Electricity (‘Here can be seen the need for intensive study. This subject is not so strong as we had expected to find it…..In a few short weeks, it is impossible to cover the whole ground in a series of lectures; and it is desirable that the boy should spend what time he can afford in reading the subject matter’), General (‘The boy is easy to teach, zealous in his work, and highly intelligent. His homework is very gratifying’), Latin (‘In composition, after a little more revision, he should also fare well; at present the work has been very fair, but with a few lapses which are unlikely to recur. I have no apprehension of a failure’) and Geometry (‘He was certainly rusty on some of the elementary work….but he has picked it all up very rapidly….Unless he should lose his head in the examination, which seems unlikely enough, there is no reason why this subject should not be a strong rather than a weak one, and a failure would be most surprising’). Signed by Joyce at the foot of the first page and signed by Macnab at the conclusion of the text on the second page. Some very light, extremely minimal age wear, VG John Macnab (d.1977) was one of Joyce’s closest friends (the latter often calling the former ‘Master’) and the two men met through the British Union of Fascists when they attached themselves to Oswald Mosley.

Vergolderrahmen.«Nie habe ich eine Figuration nach der äußeren Natur des Zufälligen geschaffen. […] Der Mensch und das Menschliche war und ist immerdauerndes Objekt meiner Darstellungen.» Karl Hofer in: Karl Hofer, Von Lebensspuk und stiller Schönheit, Kunsthalle Emden, Köln 2012, S. 4.Karl, auch Carl, Hofer ist DER große Maler der menschlichen Figur des deutschen Expressionismus, auch wenn er sich selbst nie als Expressionist sah: «Die Ekstasen des Expressionismus lagen mir nicht.» ebd. Als Meisterschüler Hans Thomas ist Hofer vielmehr Berliner denn Karlsruher. Es sind aber nicht die Großstadtszenen, die ihn wie Kirchner interessieren würden, auch nicht das Bukolische des Expressionismus' wie bei Pechstein oder Mueller; das Menschliche, das rein Menschliche, ist das Sujet seiner Malerei. «Die große Leistung Karl Hofers liegt zweifelsohne im Figurenbild. Und hier überzeugen vor allem jene Ein- oder Zweifigurenbilder, in denen uns die zumeist jungen Frauen oder Männer annähernd bildfüllend gegenübertreten.» Frank Schmidt, Vom ‹heilig Nüchternen›, Hofers Figurenauffassungen am Beispiel der Aktdarstellungen, in: ebd. Hofer, vor seinen Berliner Jahren, war zu Studienzwecken mehrere Jahre in Rom. Hier lernte er den zur damaligen Zeit wichtigsten deutschen Kunsthistoriker Julius Meier-Graefe kennen, der über ihn in «Neue deutsche Römer» schreibt: «In den grösseren (sic) Gemälden merkt man den früheren Temperamaler, aber nicht zum Schaden der Bilder. Der dünne Auftrag, der die Farbe ganz lose, zuweilen flockenartig auf das Fleisch legt und nur die derbere Materie der geringen Gewandteile mit gröberen Strichen unterscheidet, steht diesen sanft belichteten, sehr tonigen Gestalten vortrefflich. Man kann sie sich von einem kühneren Pinsel gemalt, sehr viel mächtiger denken; aber man begreift und achtet die Vorsicht, die, einmal im Besitz der Harmonie, diese nicht mit übertriebenen Zumutungen in Frage stellen mag.» zitiert in: Staatliche Kunsthalle Berlin (Hrsg.), Karl Hofer 1878 - 1955, Berlin 1978, S. 71 - 72. Karl Hofer, der nur vorsichtig mit der Abstraktion experimentierte, blieb eigentlich sein ganzes Künstlerleben dem Figürlichen treu. Auch seine Bildmotive kehren in seinem Schaffen immer wieder, sowohl in seiner stärksten Schaffensphase der 1920er und 1930er Jahre als auch nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg, der viele seiner Werke vernichtete. Obwohl vom Sujet völlig unpolitisch, galt Hofers Kunst den Nationalsozialisten als entartet. Er selbst sah seine Kunst als deutsch an, was nicht verhinderte, dass seine Werke 1937 in der Propaganda-Ausstellung «Entartete Kunst» gezeigt wurden und er 1938 von der Preußischen Akademie ausgeschlossen wurde. Trotzdem blieb er SEINER Malerei treu und konzentrierte sich wie bereits in den 1920er Jahren auf die Aktmalerei: «Ich beschäftige mich mit dem nackten Körper nicht deshalb, weil ich das für bedeutender als anders halte, sondern weil das meine Veranlagung ist und weil auf dieser Seite meine Begabung liegt, und das ist die Hauptsache.» Karl Hofer in: Emden, S. 6.Literatur: Stuttgarter Kunstkabinett (Hrsg.), Kunstliteratur, 22.

Rare Soviet Russian Porcelain Propaganda Plate by Rudolf Feodorovich Vilde, plate depicting a Bolshevik worker heroically coming to rescue the Volga region’s populace from starvation, personified as the Grim Reaper carrying off a bundle of wheat. Gilt decoration around the edge of the plate. Generally good condition. As a result of the First World War and the Russian Civil Wars which followed, the production of grain fell drastically, leading to widespread food shortages. The famine, which killed an estimated 6 million Russians, was most devastating in the Volga and Ural regions. In 1921, Lenin initiated reforms to food distribution and consumption under the New Economic Policy in an effort to curtail the devastating effects of the famine. Vilde and his comrades at the State Porcelain Factory painted ceramics to raise funds to aid in the relief effort.Vilde’s career began in 1905 as a ceramics painter at the Imperial Porcelain Factory where a year later he became head of the workshop. In this position until 1930, Vilde was part of the factory’s revolutionary transformation from producing wares exclusively for the Tzar and his court to repurposing the many imperial blanks for propagandistic ends as part of the new mandate for the State Porcelain Factory, rechristened after the Russian Revolution of 1917. Under the leadership of Sergi Chekhonin, artistic director from 1918–1923, a nationalistic yet stylistically diverse visual program was incorporated into the decoration of simple utilitarian objects, such as plates, bowls, and small tea sets. The wares ranged in style from the avant-garde abstraction of Kazimir Malevich’s Suprematism, to the folk-derived social realism of Vilde’s example here. It was this later style that eventually triumphed as the prevailing Stalinist aesthetic.
