Yeah, Winkel means angle in Ger., too, but in vernacular/slang can mean a small corner [1] or part of a larger area,[2] as I understand it. The usual German for corner is of course Ecke. Sca (talk) 15:12, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You see, I don't even know his name, and sometimes I think that it is a shame that talented artists are not recognized as they should have been... Camille Pissaro, for example, he has a name. But this guy is better than him. Hafspajen (talk) 20:40, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, the schrecklich verwirrende history of Eastern Europe. A glance at several entries indicates Weissmuller (obviously a German name — meaning literally "white miller") was an ethnic German from one of the scattered SE-Europe enclaves of Germans known as the Banat Swabians. They lived in the historic territory of Banat, which today is divided between Romania and Serbia, but formerly was part of Austria-Hungary. And yes, it's very much a distortion to call Weissmuller "Romanian," even if he was born in present-day Romania.
Yes. But I mean, you would't call Caesar Italian when he was Roman. Just because his willage happens to be in some of those countries now... And I wouldn't call him Serbian either. Hafspajen (talk) 17:21, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, those are now nominated and FP-ed. That German Baluschek is not that wonderfully ilustrated. May I start adding some pictures to the English B. or you will be ready with your translation first? Hafspajen (talk) 19:48, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't been able to find any references online to B at the "Entartete" exhibits. He only lived for two years after the Nazi seizure of power, and sometimes the Nazis went easier on men who'd served in WWI (even Jews). Sca (talk) 16:58, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently the English trans. was a very small publishing run, and I don't like the title. [5] Maybe we should toss the link & translate the title as on that talk page. Sca (talk) 15:00, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please??? Tingeltangel is twice as big as all the other pictures at thumb size... and RED. The other picture is too dark in the gallery... and nominated pics shall not be in the gallery
You could nominate one now, and the other two when Baluscheck is on the main page ... that depends on how fast it will be rewived, of course. Hafspajen (talk) 16:13, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Scaa, please put Tingeltangel back where it was, you have to have City of Workers IN the article, not in the gallery. PLease... (think nomination) Hafspajen (talk) 23:30, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
OK, where did the city workers go? Now it is nowhere. I really think it looks bad with that big women in red among his best works. Hafspajen (talk) 01:38, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Tingeltangel is terrible. I am unhappy. My artistic instincts are in uproar, it is breaking the balance. And I made it look so nice... Hafspajen (talk) 01:46, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nightspot (Tingeltangel), 1900
Haffy, I've been pondering this situation. I think you, as an artistic person, evaluate everything visually, whereas I, as a writer and editor, consider the editorial and the visual, probably with an emphasis on the former. You are very adept at aesthetic judgments, but you seem perhaps to assume that people aren't going to bother reading the article — which in this case is a compelling personal history (and which, indeed, I put some effort into translating). I don't mean this in a critical or unfriendly way; it's just an attempt to understand our differences.
Tingeltangel is one of B's earlier (1900) works, when he was beginning to develop as an artist, and I agree it's not one of his best, being rather garish. His mature style really emerged only after WWI. I had included Tingeltangel as a matter of art-historical interest, and because the German text I translated mentioned it.
Having said that, I don't particularly like Tingel either, and I can certainly live without it. It doesn't belong in a gallery of his mature works (Express Train isn't very mature, either), so I removed it. I suggest that you go back and edit/rearrange Hans Baluschek as you see fit, and that will be the final version except for any minor glitches that might crop up. OK?
Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, smoking cabin, North German Lloyd: a typical work by Johann Georg Poppe
I keep finding things to edit/polish. Made a title for the Journey to the Moon gallery & got rid of all the repetition in captions. Also moved Nightspot (1900) up to pair it with relevant text — it didn't belong in the "postwar" gallery.
The three B&W pix near the end, before the bit about the Nazis, are awfully small — got another way to arrange them? Sca (talk) 22:33, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

How did you created this nomination? Copied of something or you put the file name in the little box and pushed? Can't find the title of the nomination. Hafspajen (talk) 17:42, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Add it : {{[[Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/File:Hans Baluschek - Arbeiterstadt (1920).jpg]]}} add it too the FP nom page like this, in curly brackets. Hafspajen (talk) 18:09, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Yngvadottir fixed that. Next time you need to take the file name of the picture and put the file name on the Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates page into the 'Step 2:/ Create a subpage' box, and press create a new nomination - and it will give you a page with everything you need.

Thanks. I thought I was following the directions in using the template, but as I said I'm not a techie. Sca (talk) 22:09, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that WAS interesting. Did you knew that it was in the USA? Maybe you can go and visit it - at the Milwaukee Art Museum - and tell us how it looks. This you could use as a reference, if you want. It says that his pictures are critical of the society - and I do agree, because they are. Hafspajen (talk) 01:12, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Twenty-some years ago I applied for a newspaper job in Milwaukee. (I grew up not far away, in Minneapolis.)
To a student of 20th C. history, Baluschek is a fascinating character, an exemplar of his age. It's well that he died before the Nazis launched their monstrous crimes against humanity, i.e. against all of us. Sca (talk) 01:42, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Was thinking about that myself. He was already influenced by WarI... And the other one, maybe he would have experienced the whole thing as a mayor n********. But who knows, some lived and fought. God's ways are unpredictable. Milwaukee Art Museum - put in Baluscheck and some other twenty artworks, but I have to stop now. Hafspajen (talk) 02:07, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, as to being influenced by war, Adolf spent all of WWI on the Western front, and many biographers suggest he was brutalized by the experience, but before the war he was already neurotic and maladjusted. Two million German soldiers were killed in WWI — why oh why couldn't Adolf have been one of them?
His preposterous book with its psychotic rants was published in 1925-27, just when Baluschek was doing some of his best work and Remarque, another WWI soldier, was writing All Quiet on the Western Front, which of course ended up in the flames. [9]

Yes. We are good at finding guys like this. Will you look at the captions, I rearanged the gallery so it should show more of his works as they are, not only a lot of portraits - of fairly well know people, but not such good paintings after all. The file description is in Russian... ... What is this
You apparently are under the illusion that Sca speaks/reads Russian. I just know a few words & phrases, and can decipher the Cyrillic alphabet. But I can feed the Russian titles into Bing and get a rough English equivalent. Sca (talk) 13:24, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker)@Hafspajen:, Easy, inquire of a Russian Orthodox. There is a church in the background and the worshippers are coming home from the Pascha (Easter) service that begins at midnight. Each person is given a candle that has been lighted by the priest with the holy light (to represent the risen Christ). The people are carrying the lighted candles home (that have been burning for three or four hours already) from the Easter night celebration. At home, the light will be used to light an oil lamp or candle in the icon corner, which will then burn continually throughout the year. . Oh, and the bags are to keep the wax from dripping. Here's a link to another similar image: [10]. Sorry, I do not know how to bring over images ツ There is also a modern picture at the Easter article under the section 'Reform of the Date'. Fylbecatuloustalk01:09, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, an American convert. Not a bit Russian. In the states one must essentially join an ethnic group to become Orthodox...Greek or Russian mainly, except there are some Arabic groups too. A lot of the service is spoken and sung in the native language, instead of English. Fylbecatuloustalk01:18, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
My glass lamp is in a small holder that hangs by a three-sided chain and I just keep adding oil. It is a small flame...in truth, if I am away from home overnight, I extinguish it. Theoretically, it should burn all the time but customs are relaxed in modern times. In the olden days, I suppose someone was always home, and there were only candles and lamps anyway.

There's a Polish (left of white Krug) and a German (right of Krug) crystal mug up there. The map is a souvenir of the British Museum — note how huge Lithuania was (briefly) in the 17th C.

Ever been to Gotland? Lots of history there, I imagine.

That's marriage for you. When my Dad married my Mom, his relatives (all of Norwegian descent) whispered that he had married "a foreigner," because she was of German descent. Of course they both were third-generation Americans. [15]
Did you know that at the end of the 14th C. Gotland was occupied, briefly, by the Teutonic Order, who kicked out a group of Baltic Sea pirates known (in German) as the Vitalenbrüder? [16] In 1408 they turned the island over to Denmark. Ah, history.... [ Sca (talk) 21:27, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I think that the Soul of Russia has a better chance. It has something to SAY about the poor, harrased people and their sufferings and fait and sorrows... . Put that in article too. citation: last canvas Nesterov painted before the October Revolution of 1917 was named The Soul of the People. A procession of peasants and nobles, men and women, walks along the banks of Volga River, following a young boy with resoluteness reflected on his face. The Bolshevik regime banned religious art. After the revolution Nesterov painted mostly portraits and self-portraits. He loved this genre too, but his last picture was a landscape painting named Autumn in a Village. In his last years, Nesterov also worked on a book of memoirs, which was published several months before his death - SouceHafspajen (talk) 00:03, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
