  Andreas Tacke, Bridget Ulrike Münch, Markwart Herzog, Sylvia Heudecker, and Amy Morris

  The chapter titled "The Artist's Lament in Early Modern Germany: Complaint or Self-Promotion?" is written by University of Nebraska at Omaha professor, Dr. Amy Morris.

  Translated from German:

  The Artist's Lament
  Crisis and upheaval from the Reformation to around 1800

  Art History Forum Irsee, Volume 2
  Ed. Markwart Herzog and Sylvia Heudecker (Schwabenakademie Irsee), Birgit Ulrike Münch and Andreas Tacke (artifex)

  The Artist's Complaint. The proverbial ›unprofitable art‹ has always led to complaints from artists, since it was not easy for many to assert themselves on the art market, just as it is today. To a much greater extent, the living and working world of the pre-modern artist was shaped by far-reaching crises and upheavals. The Reformation, the Thirty Years' War, the division of the Netherlands or epidemics should be considered here in particular. This volume poses the question of how the artist behaved in times of crisis and which strategies he pursued in order to adapt to the new situation. What role did migration play or how did the change of denomination and location take place? For the first time, the international circle of authors dealt with the interesting question of how the artist's lawsuit was articulated and formulated and in which framework it circulated under different premises. In addition to written sources of artists' complaints, such as complaints to the city council, there are also numerous visualized forms of artists' complaints, such as paintings, flyers or caricatures, which have not yet been brought into a research context.

  Original German Text:

  Die Klage des Künstlers
  Krise und Umbruch von der Reformation bis um 1800

  Kunsthistorisches Forum Irsee, Band 2
  Hrsg. v. Markwart Herzog und Sylvia Heudecker (Schwabenakademie Irsee), Birgit Ulrike Münch und Andreas Tacke (artifex)

  Die Klage des Künstlers. Die sprichwörtliche ›brotlose Kunst‹ hat zu allen Zeiten zur Klage von Künstlerinnen und Künstlern geführt, war es doch früher ebenso wie heute für viele nicht leicht, sich auf dem Kunstmarkt zu behaupten. Noch in weitaus stärkerem Maße war die Lebens- und Arbeitswelt des vormodernen Künstlers von tiefgreifenden Krisen und Umwälzungen geprägt. Hier ist insbesondere an die Reformation, den Dreißigjährigen Krieg, die Teilung der Niederlande oder an Epidemien zu denken. Der vorliegende Band stellt die Frage, wie sich der Künstler in Zeiten der Krise verhielt und welche Strategien er verfolgte, um sich auf die neue Situation einzustellen. Welche Rolle spielte Migration oder wie gestalteten sich Konfessions- und Ortswechsel? Der internationale Autorenkreis behandelt erstmals unter unterschiedlichen Prämissen die interessante Frage, wie die Künstlerklage artikuliert und formuliert worden ist und in welchem Rahmen sie zirkulierte. Neben schriftlichen Quellen der Künstlerklage, etwa Beschwerden beim Rat der Stadt, finden sich auch zahlreiche, jedoch bislang nicht in einen Forschungszusammenhang gebrachte visualisierte Formen der Künstlerklage, etwa in Form von Gemälden, Flugblättern oder Karikaturen.

  Mary Magdalene, Iconographic Studies from the Middle Ages to the Baroque

  Michelle Erhardt and Amy Morris

  Series: Studies in Religion and the Arts, Volume: 7

  Volume Editors: Michelle Erhardt and Amy Morris (University of Nebraska at Omaha professor) Mary Magdalene, Iconographic Studies from the Middle Ages to the Baroque examines the iconographic inventions in Magdalene imagery and the contextual factors that shaped her representation in visual art from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries. Unique to other saints in the medieval lexicon, images of Mary Magdalene were altered over time to satisfy the changing needs of her patrons as well as her audience. By shedding light on the relationship between the Magdalene and her patrons, both corporate and private, as well as the religious institutions and regions where her imagery is found, this anthology reveals the flexibility of the Magdalene’s character in art and, in essence, the reinvention of her iconography from one generation to the next.
