Virtuosenkult / Virtuoso Cult (colour litho)

8666291 Virtuosenkult / Virtuoso Cult (colour litho) by German School, (20th century); Private Collection; (add.info.: Virtuosenkult. Schon die sog gute alte Zeit uberschuttete den Kunstler im Theater und Konzertsaal mit Zeichen ihrer Begeisterung und Verehrung. Blumenstrausse umschwirrten ihn, Lorbeerkranze wurden ihm dargereicht, schliesslich spannte die begeisterte Menge ihm noch die Pferde aus, um ihn selbst im Triumph nach Hause zu fahren. Nicht der Schopfer, sondern der virtuose Interpret galt etwas. Translation: Virtuoso Cult. Even the so-called good old days showered artists in the theater and concert hall with signs of their enthusiasm and admiration. Bouquets of flowers buzzed around him, laurel wreaths were handed to him, and finally the enthusiastic crowd unharnessed his horses to drive him home in triumph. Not the creator, but the virtuoso interpreter mattered. Illustration for Deutsche Kulturbilder, 1400-1900 (Cigaretten-Bilderdienst Hamburg-Bahrenfeld, 1934).); © Look and Learn

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph titled "Virtuosenkult / Virtuoso Cult" captures the essence of adoration and admiration towards artists in the theater and concert hall. In the so-called good old days, performers were showered with signs of enthusiasm and reverence - from bouquets of flowers to laurel wreaths, symbolizing their status as virtuosos. The image depicts a scene where a crowd eagerly unharnesses horses to drive a virtuoso interpreter home in triumph, highlighting the importance placed on these talented individuals rather than the creators themselves. This illustration is part of Deutsche Kulturbilder, 1400-1900, originally published by Cigaretten-Bilderdienst Hamburg-Bahrenfeld in 1934. The artist behind this piece remains unknown but their portrayal of the Virtuoso Cult resonates with timeless themes of appreciation for exceptional talent and skill. The dynamic composition and vivid colours draw viewers into a world where artists are celebrated like heroes, embodying the spirit of artistic passion and devotion that transcends time. This print serves as a visual reminder of the enduring legacy left by virtuosos throughout history, whose performances continue to captivate audiences and inspire generations to come.
