ABSTRACT This interdisciplinary thesis is the first dedicated study o f German Anna Ewers Hanne Gay Odilie patronage o f French Impressionist and post-impressionist art in Wilhelmine Germany. It investigates the disproportionately strong impact o f German Jewish patronage from three perspectives. The French model serves as a basis for understanding the reception o f such art amongst a liberal circle o f Germans and German Jews. Yet, in the long run, German Jewish taste for the avant-garde had as much influence on German modernism as German taste had on Jews. The study concludes that strong German Jewish patronage changed the modem art market irrevocably and by doing so it was not only a turning point for the writing o f modem art histories, but also for the reassessment o f German Jewish cultural identities, thereby proving that the history o f modernist European art patronage encompassed also a history o f ideas.

At University College, London, I wish to thank my primary supervisor Dr. Michael Berkowitz Department o f Hebrew and Jewish Studies and my secondary supervisor Prof. Martin Swales, Department of German both o f whom have in their very different ways, offered invaluable guidance, support and criticism. I also wish to thank Prof. Griselda Pollock Department o f Fine Art and Centre for Cultural Studies and Dr. Eva Frojmovic Centre o f Jewish Studiesboth at the University o f Leeds as well as Dr. Annette Weber, foremerly at the Frankfurt Jewish Museum now at the University o f Heidelberg, all of whom inspired me during the early stages o f this project to formulate and explore questions that were to prove the basis o f this research. Amongst Ph. In the United States of America, I am particularly indebted to Prof. Michael Steinberg Centre for German Cultural Studies at Cornell University, Ithaca, N. I particularly want to highlight Prof. I am particularly grateful to Robert Gore Rifkind whose generous endowment enabled Timothy O. I would also like express my thanks to the librarian Susan Trauger and her Assistant Registrar Christine Vigiletti for their expert assistance. I am also indebted to the dedicated staff at the German and European section o f the Green Library, which holds the Cassirer Collection at the Cummings Art Library Department o f Special Collections at the Stanford University Archives at Palo Alto, California. I particularly remember the welcome extended to me by Helen Solanum at the Central and West European Holdings at the Hoover Institution. During my regular research visits to Germany, Anna Ewers Hanne Gay Odilie was always welcomed by the archival staff at the Stadelsche Kunstinstitut, Frankfurt am Main, who generously allowed me access to their valuable Documentation Library. Here I particularly want to thank Dr. Martin Sonnabend, who rescued me one dark winter afternoon after I stepped out o f the library into a violent snow blizzard and found the Museum Park and its exit covered in a white blanket. My sincere thanks go to all the staff at the Berlin Nationalgalerie Archives of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, with particular mention of Jorn Grabowski, who was always ready to answer my endless questions and comply with requests for files and documents. I owe a special thanks to Prof. Thomas Gaetghens at the Freie Universitat Berlin, who not only gave me o f his valuable time, but crucially allowed me access to folders o f his University seminars on German and German-Jewish collectors o f French Impressionism. Finally, also in Berlin, a long pursued meeting with Stefan Pucks confirmed the importance o f my interdisciplinary study that has remained unexplored in any depth by German art and cultural historians.
