From the collection of the Leo Baeck Institute - New York is a 1937 painting titled, Jewish Refugees by artist Wilhelm Wachtel (1875-1952).

Wachtel was born in Lemberg (Lviv, Ukraine). He studied at the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts under Leon Wyczółkowski and Leopold Löffler, and then at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich under Nikolaus Gysisa. Wachtel traveled to Vienna, Paris, and Palestine. He often depicted scenes or topics of Jewish life, and he was featured in a number of exhibits. Wachtel settled in Palestine in 1936, but he emigrated to the United States after the start of World War II; many of his works were lost during that time.

The dancer La Argentina as illustrated by Ernst Oppler, ca.1920s. From the collections of the Leo Baeck Institute.

La Argentina was an Argentine-born Spanish dancer who created the neoclassical style of Spanish dance. She was widely regarded as one of the most famous Spanish dancers of the 20th century and was nicknamed the "Queen of the Castanets" and the "Flamenco Pavlova". Before the First World War she settled in Paris, at which time it is likely this illustration by Ernst Oppler was made of her.

Ernst Oppler was the son of Edwin Oppler (1831-1880), a prominent German-Jewish architect. Ernst Oppler's brothers included the sculptor Alexander Oppler (1869-1937). His cousin was the designer Else Oppler-Legband (1875-1965).

He studied at the Academy of Arts in Munich. Afterwards he moved to London to study the work of James Abbott McNeill Whistler, one of his favorite artists. He became a member of the International Society of Sculptors, Painters and Gravers in 1898. His early work was naturalistic in approach. In 1901 he went to the Netherlands to practise the pleinair method, and painted elegant portraits of the gentry in subdued tones.

Back in Munich Oppler joined the Munich Secession. In 1904 Max Liebermann invited Ernst Oppler and Lovis Corinth to leave Munich and move to Berlin. Both became members of the Berlin Secession, a group of artists who championed the new, German Impressionist style. Oppler became a renowned portraitist, and also chronicled daily life through his drawings, etchings, painted cityscapes and genre scenes. With his brother the sculptor Alexander Oppler they had studios in their own Villa Oppler in Berlin-Grunewald and a city apartment in the Kurfürstenstraße. Ernst Oppler was invited seven times to the Venice Biennale and participated six times.

In 1912, after controversies about expressionism, he stopped participating in the exhibitions of the Berlin secession, though he still remained one of the most prominent members of the avantgarde. The German state bought works from Oppler and exhibited them in museums as examples of the new wave in art. Oppler started to visit dancing performances of the Russian ballet which was very popular at that time and began to document the performances. He became also an important chronicler of the history of ballet in Germany.

Ernst Oppler died in Berlin on 1 March 1929.

In Germany works by Ernst Oppler are on display at the National Gallery Berlin, the Neue Pinakothek in Munich, the Lower Saxony State Museum and others. Outside of Germany, his works are found in the Appleton Museum of Art, the Harvard Art Museums, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the Israel-Museum, and the Atheneum in Helsinki, among others.

Good luck, babe!

Frida Kahlo painted this bold self portrait following a divorce from Diego Rivera after he cheated on her.

She depicted herself wearing an oversized suit resembling the ones Rivera wore along with a short-clipped haircut, giving herself an androgynous look that may be a nod to her relationships with both men and women.

The portrait was a way to express her feelings about the relationship and show the world that she was an independent artist. Kahlo was determined to support herself financially after her divorce by selling her own work.

For some, this portrait symbolizes her mourning the absence of her ex-husband. For others, it’s a powerful statement of Kahlo’s self-reliance and independence.
