HÉLÈNE ZELEZNY-SCHOLTZ (1882-1974). A bronze sculpture “Reading of the newspaper

About the Item

HÉLÈNE ZELEZNY-SCHOLTZ (1882-1974). A bronze sculpture “Reading of the newspaper”, 1915. A man reads the newspaper for six other men sitting on a bench. The inscription on the base reads “special edition” (Extra- Ausgabe). 1915 has seen intense battles on the eastern front during World War I. Many Jews had to flee away from the war zone in Galicia and reached Vienna, the capital city of the Austrian Empire. It is known that the Czech artist Hélène Zelezny-Scholtz arrived in Vienna at the beginning of the war. We can therefore suppose that this sculpture was inspired by a group of exiled men looking for news for their homeland through reading this « special edition » on a bench in Vienna. H_16 cm L_33 cm P_10 cm (6 ¹⁹/₆₄ x 12 ⁶³/₆₄ x 3 ¹⁵/₁₆) Helene Zelezny-Scholtz was a Czech sculptor and architectural sculptor. She received her education in sculpture, drawing and ceramics in Vienna, Dresden, Berlin, Brussels and Florence. She was an influential figure in the sculpture of north Moravia and Silesia at the turn of the 20th century. She became famous for sculpted portraits of the Hapsburg family. She was also known as an important Italian sculptor as she worked and lived many years in Rome where she died at the age of 91.

A Bronze Figurine of Three Jewish Men in Conversation, Austria late 19th Century

Located in New York, NY

A Small bronze figurine of two Jewish men with several stereotypical physical features commonly attributed to Jewish men: large noses, sidelocks, and beards. They are wearing caftans (kaftans) belted by wide sashes at the waist. A caftan is a long-sleeved, ankle-length coat with an open-cut at the front. Many Eastern Polish and Western Russian Jews began wearing caftans fastened with wide, oriental-style sashes in the late medieval period. The garb later spread to Central Europe, but in place of the sash, a cord was used to close the front of the garment instead. These garments were often worn by peddlers and itinerant vendors who traveled the countryside and sold goods to the public. However, old prejudices stemming from the economic and professional restrictions placed on early European Jews, along with Christians’ disdain for the professions Jews were allowed to practice, formed an antisemitic stereotype of the greedy Jew who exploited Gentiles. This canard was often visually depicted as a Jewish peddler...
