Jackson Pollock Mural, 1943/44

"Now, just after Christmas 1943, the time for procrastination has run out. The collector is planning a party, and she insists the canvas must be finished by that date. And so the artist plunges into his work and, in the course of a single night and morning, under incredible pressure, completes a painting that would mark a turning point in twentieth-century art."

—Leonhard Emmerling "Pollock" Taschen, 2016.

#onthisday, 2018, Sara Ginaite Rubinson z”l passed away. She was a world renowned author and academic, a legendary resistance fighter in Lithuania against the Nazis during WWII. After the war she eventually joined her daughters in Canada and wrote several books in Lithuanian. Her most famous work translated into english was “Resistance and Survival: The Jewish Community in Kaunas 1941–1944.”

Sara was born to Yosef Ginas and Rebecca Virovitch, in Kaunas, Lithuania on March 17th, 1924. Raised in a successful Jewish family, Sara was on the verge of graduating from high school when, in 1941, her life was interrupted by the Nazi invasion of Lithuania. Three of her uncles were subsequently killed in the Kaunas Pogrom that year, and she, along with the rest of her family, were placed in the Kovno Ghetto. That was when she decided to fight back and join the Anti-Fascist Fighting Organization, a resistance of fighters against the Nazis. 

After marrying Misha Rubinson, they escaped together in the winter of 1943-44, she created a Jewish Partisan unit called, “Death to the Occupiers.” She would often bravely venture back to the ghettos to rescue people, helping them escape to safety. Both she and her husband participated in the liberation of the Kaunas and the Vilnius ghettos, although the Nazis had already wiped out most of the region’s Jewish population. Only her own sister and brother-in-law survived of the rest of her family. 

After the war she became a professor of political economics at Vilnius University. After her husband died in 1977, she emigrated to Canada where her two daughters Anya and Tanya were already living. Sara became an adjunct professor at York University and was frequently invited to lecture throughout Canada, the United States, Europe, and Israel. She gave an inspirational lecture in 2013 in Toronto, titled “History and Personal Memory: the Beginning of the Holocaust in Lithuania.”

On April 2nd, 2018, Sara died in her home at the age of 94, the 17th of the Jewish month of Nissan. May her light and legacy shine brightly for Jews and all oppressed people of the world for generations to come.

Úgy ötévente ha ránézek erre, nem leszek boldog..

Az 1943-44-es naplója végén írja Márai:

“Ha vége ennek a háborúnak, a feladatok mérhetetlen sora vár reánk, el kell temetni a halottakat, el kell takarítani a romokat, kenyeret kell adni az éhezőknek, valamilyen államfélét kell építeni a cserepekből, amit a rablógyilkos horda, melynek nagy része megszökött már, ránk hagyott. De ez a kisebbik feladat. Ahhoz, hogy Magyarország megint nemzet legyen, megbecsült család a világban; ki kell pusztítani egyfajta ember lelkéből, a "jobboldaliság” címkéjével ismert különös valamit, a tudatot, hogy ő, mint “keresztény magyar ember” előjogokkal élhet a világban, egyszerűen azért, mert “keresztény, magyar úri ember”, joga van tehetség és tudás nélkül is jól élni, fennhordani az orrát, lenézni mindenkit, aki nem “keresztény magyar”, vagy “úriember”, tartani a markát s a keresztény-magyar markába baksist kérni az államtól, társadalomtól: állást, kitüntetést, maradék zsidó birtokot, potya nyaralást a Galyatetőn, kivételezést az élet minden vonatkozásában. Mert ez volt a “jobboldaliság” igaz értelme. S ez a fajta nem tanul. Aki elmúlt harmincéves és ebben a szellemben, légkörben nevelkedik, reménytelen: talán megalkuszik, fogcsikorgatva, s mert önző és gyáva: bizonnyal hajlong majd az új rend előtt: de szíve mélyén örökké visszasírja a “jobboldali, keresztény, nemzeti” világot, amelyen belül olyan szépen lehetett zsidó vagyont rabolni, versenytársakat legyilkolni és aladárkodni a nagyvállalatokban, képzettség és hozzáértés nélkül. S lehetett “előkelő közhivatalnok”-nak lenni és sérthetetlen, páncélinggel védett katonatisztnek; s mindezért nem adni semmit, csak becses létezés tényét. Ez a fajta sohasem változik meg. De amíg ezeknek szavuk van, vagy befolyásuk, Magyarország nem lesz nemzet.“

lost klimt portrait shows up in vienna :0

Fräulein Lieser ("Miss Lieser") has never been on public display since its creation in 1917 - you are now looking at the painting in color for (probably) the first time ever.

The current owner inherited the painting in 2022 - it originally came to be in the possession of their predecessors in the 1960s, but it is unclear how the painting came to be in the first buyer's possession. There is no information available about whether or not the painting had to be relinquished, was confiscated or sold under distress by the Lieser family after 1938. However, since the potential original owners were both forcibly dispossessed in 1938, documentation of the dispossession for this particular may have been lost.

On April 28th, the painting will be put up for auction at im Kinsky in Vienna, with the price being projected to be between 30 to 50 million euro. The legally unclear situation of whether or not the painting is Nazi-looted art is why the auction was commissioned by both the recent inheritor and the legal successors of Adolf Lieser and his sister-in-law Henriette Amelie "Lilly" Lieser, in accordance with the Washington Principles.

In the past, the depicted young woman was identified as Adolf's daughter Constance Margarethe Lieser, who would have been 18 years old during Klimt's creation of the painting. However, new research presented by the auction house im Kinsky has brought up doubts as to who the depicted "Miss Lieser" actually is. Adolf's sister-in-law Lilly Lieser, who had married and later divorced Adolf's brother Julius, was a patron of the arts and might have commissioned a painting of either of her daughters, Helene and Annie Lieser. Klimt himself never identified the commissioning customer beyond "Lieser" and died in 1918, before the painting was finished.

Lilly Lieser was a central patron of art and music in fin de siécle Vienna. She is especially well-known for her financial support of Arnold Schöneberg and was an avid art collector. For years, her best friend was Alma Mahler-Werfel. Both Adolf and Lilly Lieser were dispossessed in 1938 and later deported to Riga and/or Auschwitz, where they were murdered. Details to Margarethe's life aren't readily available, she died in London in 1943 or 44. Helene Lieser, who had been the first woman in Austria to get a PhD in political sciences, fled Austria in 1938 and ended up in Geneva. After the war, she lived in Paris, working for UNESCO, OEEC and the International Economic Association. She died from cancer in 1962 in Vienna. Annie Lieser, who was a celebrated interpretative dancer, married Austrian artist Hans Sidonius Becker. In 1938, her and their son Johann managed to flee to the US. Hans Becker was active in the Austrian resistance movement and annulled their marriage in 1941 to marry another woman. Annie probably never went back to Austria but kept contact with several other Austrian emigrants in California, among them Alma Mahler-Werfel and Luzie Korngold. She died in Los Angeles in 1972.

The painting will be shown to the public from April 10th at im Kinsky in Vienna as well as during a projected world tour to Asia, Europe and the USA.

“He aquí mi secreto, que no puede ser más simple: sólo con el corazón se puede ver bien; lo esencial es invisible a los ojos”

El principito 

Es una novela corta y también la obra más famosa del escritor y aviador francés Antoine de Saint-Exupéry publicada en abril de 1943.

El Principito, es el libro en francés más leído y más traducido, con más de doscientos cincuenta idiomas y dialectos incluyendo la escritura braille, y uno de los más vendidos a nivel mundial, con más de 140 millones de ejemplares en todo el mundo.

El Principito está considerado como un libro infantil por la forma en que está redactado, sin embargo, en realidad es que se trata de una crítica de la edad adulta, en la que se tratan temas profundos como el sentido de la vida, la soledad, el amor, la perdida y la amistad.

El Principito es un cuento poético, en el que se narra la historia de un piloto perdido en el desierto del Sahara en donde, después de sufrir una avería, es ahí a donde conoce a un pequeño príncipe proveniente de otro planeta. La historia tiene una temática filosófica, en donde se tratan temas profundos, desde la perspectiva de extrañeza con la que los adultos ven las cosas.

Antoine Saint-Exupéry (su autor), nació en Lyon Francia en junio de 1900, quedó huérfano de padre a la edad de 4 años y fue criado en un entorno femenino de una familia aristocrática de la ciudad de Lyon, en donde su madre trabajaba como enfermera.

En 1917, terminó su bachillerato en un colegio marista en Suiza y se hizo piloto cuando estaba cumpliendo su servicio militar a la edad de 21 años.

Saint_Exupéry, fue ganador de varios de los principales premios literarios de Francia, y piloto aviador en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, ilustró el manuscrito mientras se encontraba exiliado en los Estados Unidos tras la batalla de Francia.

Vivió en Concordia Argentina y allí fue en donde conoció a su esposa, la millonaria salvadoreña Consuelo Suncin, quien era también escritora y artista.

Su unión matrimonial duró 15 años, y fue una relación muy turbulenta por la profesión de piloto aviador en la compañía Aeroposta, en donde su fama como escritor, y su bohemia y múltiples infidelidades los distanciaba, pero a la vez los reencontraba en momentos de gran felicidad. De hecho la rosa en el principito, se dice es un homenaje a su esposa. Su infidelidad y dudas acerca del matrimonio se ven simbolizadas por el campo de flores que se encuentra el pequeño príncipe en la tierra. Sin embargo, la rosa es especial, porque es a ella a quien realmente quiere.

Saint-Exupéry muere en un accidente de avión a la edad de 44 años, se especula pudo haber sido derribado por un caza alemán piloteado por el joven aspirante Robert Heichele, muerto más tarde en Francia. 

En septiembre de 1988, un pescador encontró, a casi un kilómetro de la isla de Riou, una pulsera de plata con la identidad de Saint-Exupéry, con su nombre y el de su esposa, y en mayo del 2000, un buzo encontró los restos de una aeronave P-38 Lighting, esparcidos en el fondo del mar cerca de donde fue hallado el brazalete.
