Valeska Gert

 » Gertrud Valesca Somes, dite Valeska Gert, née le 11 janvier 1892 à Berlin et morte entre le 15 et 18 mars 1978 à Kampen sur l’île de Sylt, est une danseuse, humoriste et actrice allemande. Artiste autodidacte née dans une famille bourgeoise de Juifs berlinois, elle a commencé à danser à 9 ans. Elle s’est, par la suite, produite en solo dans des personnages très éloignés de la bourgeoisie, pour mieux la caricaturer. Elle peint des personnages marginaux : « Parce que je n’aimais pas les bourgeois, je dansais des personnages qu’ils méprisaient, prostituées, entremetteuses, marginaux, dépravés. » Dans l’une de ses prestations remarquables, elle exprime par son corps un cri sans son. Réfractaire à toutes les écoles, elle s’inscrit toutefois dans le courant expressionniste. Sa danse, contrairement à Wigman, se révèle virulente et provocatrice. Elle croque au vitriol les travers des classes moyennes et illustre le rythme frénétique de la vie moderne.
Elle a également fait une partie de sa carrière au cinéma qu’elle a débuté en 1915 avec Maria Mossi. Elle fait ses débuts de danseuse en 1916 dans un cinéma de la UFA (Universum Film AG), l’une des sociétés de production cinématographiques les plus importantes de l’Allemagne de la première moitié du XIXe siècle. Sur cette lancée, elle est engagée dans plusieurs théâtres. Entrée en contact avec les dadaïstes berlinois, elle s’oriente vers le cabaret : un genre qui mêle la chanson, la danse, le théâtre, le cirque, la poésie d’avant garde, le cinéma et la satire politique, et qui connait à cette époque un vif succès. En effet, pendant l’entre-deux-guerres, de nombreux cabarets vont apparaître dans toute l’Europe, en Allemagne et surtout à Berlin. Contrairement au cabaret français ou américain, qui se sont centrés sur les loisirs réservés à une certaine catégorie de la population (haute bourgeoisie), le cabaret berlinois sert aussi à exprimer des opinions politiques, et des convictions personnelles. Dans ce cadre, Valeska Gert va, au travers de sa gestualité, montrer son aversion face à la bourgeoisie et une nouvelle façon de danser. On la considère parfois comme l’une des pionnières de la danse contemporaine.

« Quand je faisais du théâtre, je regrettais la danse, et quand je dansais le théâtre me manquait. Le conflit a duré jusqu’à ce que l’idée me vienne de réunir les deux : je voulais danser des personnages. »

Elle va se produire dans un cabaret du nom de « Schall und Rauch », et va ouvrir son propre cabaret « le Kohlkopp » (tête de chou). Son art est basé sur l’alliance du burlesque et du grotesque dans le but de provoquer. Ses solos les plus célèbres sont « la mort », « la boxe », « le cirque », « la nourrice », « la canaille », thèmes ou personnages issus de la vie quotidienne de Valeska Gert.


en 1932, Valeska Gert ouvre un cabaret à Berlin : « le Kohlkopp « . Ses activités sont interrompues par l’arrivée des nazis au pouvoir. En 1938, elle part pour New York et connait là bas des débuts difficiles et sera obligée de subvenir à ses moyens en vivant de petits boulots (vaisselle dans les restaurants, etc…). Elle travaillera ensuite dans le cabaret Beggar’s bar à New York. « La guerre touchait à sa fin. Berlin fut bombardé de fond en comble, ma ville, la ville où je suis née. J’en souffrais jusqu’à la moelle. J’étais atteinte dans chaque nerf. Bientôt la paix allait venir. Je n’étais plus qu’à moitié en Amérique. Je n’avais jamais eu l’intention d’y rester. Dès que le nazis seraient loin, j’y retournerais. J’aime l’Europe, ce contient à l’habitat si dense, où l’on est si proche de l’autre qu’un courant électrique passe, on l’appelle « atmosphère. »

Elle retournera en 1947 en Europe et sera récompensée par un ruban d’Or. Après sa mort, en 1978, elle sera inhumée dans le cimetière de Ruhleben à Berlin.  » Source wilkipedia

Il débute sa serie Métroplis ( 1923) dès ces années d’apprentissage.
Entre 1929 et 1935, Citroën a fait de nombreuses photographies, clairement influencées par son travail avec Blumenfeld qui fût son ami de toujours et ce dès leurs enfances.( Retrouvez des photographies d »eux enfants et adolescents dans cet article ICI à la fin)

Nelly’s – Nelly Sougioultzoglou, Mona Paeva, 1927

Nelly Sougioultzoglou is born in Aidini of Asia Minor, in 1899. In 1912 she finds herself a pupil at the Omirio Girl’s School of Smyrni and in 1919 she lives through the destruction of her homeland by the Turks. The daughter of the wealthy merchant Christos Sougioultzoglou then leaves for Dresden to study music and painting. In 1922 her family settles in Athens and Nelly decides to study photography, hoping to make a living out of it. Her teacher is initially the well-known Hugo Erfurt. Later she is tutored by the modernist Franz Fiedler.

Miss Sougioultzoglou returns to Greece in 1924 and opens her first photo studio in Ermou St. The city’s bourgeoisie considers it a sign of fine taste to have their portraits done by the young artist who at the same time practices her art by taking pictures of ancient monuments and small yards of Athenian houses. It is thus that Nelly’s era begins.

Nelly’s focuses on the pure orders of the Acropolis monuments that fascinate her. She soon decides to give them a face and set them in motion. She meets Mona Paiva, the Comedie Francaise dancer, and suggests to her that it would be a good idea if she could pose for her in the nude on the holy rock. Permission is granted by the authorities as she is by then well known and accepted by the Athens high society. Paiva obliges, and starts to dance inside the Parthenon holding an olive branch. The Leica of Nelly’s captures her smooth motion, creating a series of unique shots. The dancer takes with her this exceptional piece of work, which will be published a little later in a French illustrated magazine. The scandal breaks out immediately in prudish Athenian society.

Her avant-garde pictures of nude Mona Paeva on the Parthenon were published at the French magazine Illustration de Paris and caused a scandal in the small city of Athens of that time. She was defended by Pavlos Nirvanas in his column in Elefthero Vima newspaper (May 1929). he wrote,  »the beautiful priestess, unfastening her girdle in front of Apollo, throwing all the robes covering her divine nudity and bathing in the light, a body like a statue and a rosy complexion like the smile of dawn. And on the other hand I see respectable gentlemen sitting around a table, scratching their heads and writing about desecration. Desecration would occur if, in the throes of archaeological enthusiasm, they happened to throw off their clothes on the Parthenon marbles and pretended to be Hermes of Praxiteles… »
Since her studies and her nudes at Fiedler’s studio in Germany, Nelly removed the background’s elements by focusing her attention on the theme, resulting in reversing voluntarily the references of orientation and the final image to be formed as a mix of realistic and abstract types.
In that way, she managed to incorporate the spectator’s wonder as an element of the image. Knowing that she is the one directing the spectator’s gaze through the lens of the camera and that he will identify with her position, she accentuated the wonder by giving viewers the chance to read the image in a double way in relation to the earth’s horizon.
Her classical education and admiration of Ancient Greek civilization contributed to her photographic work in Acropolis in a way that the latter has become decisive for the artist and also for the history of photography and architecturel.
In her portraits Nelly’s uses artificial light, leaving one part of the form in the dark, while the background remains empty, as a reference to the Great Masters of the Renaissance. The aim of this work was the search for the spiritual element, the poetic atmosphere and the demonstration of the form’s most profound essence.
During World War II, she went to the United States, where she stayed for 27 years and The Metropolitan Museum of New York bought a large series of her Acropolis photographs.
In 1966 she returned to Greece and presented her work in numerous exhibitions, with the last being Nelly’s: The Body, the Light and Ancient Greece, the official Greek participation in the Cultural Olympiad of Barcelona in 1992.
