THE ART OF JUGEND

- Опубликовано: 25 дек 2019
- This one had to be a little bit different, and there's an explanation why at the start of the video. But it's one of the most remarkable collections of illustration I've so far had the pleasure of compiling.
I hope you enjoy watching it.

As a Graphic Artist i head read and actually referenced this magazine like 10 years ago but did not got very far as there were very few sources i could get a hold of. This was an amazing part of art history that i hope will never be forgotten. Thank you.
Hi and thanks for watching. It seems that more and more academic institutions are putting archives of such fabulous magazines online. Now you can access pretty much every copy. Nice when the world gets better in some way.
If you speak German, there's endless material about this era. There' s no chance of it being forgotten as long as there are Germans with hands to write with.
@@perfectallycromulent i hope some of that gets translated. there are so many regional works that are amazing like the horror and sex fumetti comics from italy.
Wow! It amazes me that a magazine devoted to publishing art and literature lasted so long! And as a weekly!!
Hello again, and what astonishes me most about it was how many really great illustrators contributed over the years, and how many are now so very unknown. Criminal really.
@@petebeard I'm very grateful for this video and even more so finding the link to the archive of issues! I know how I'll be spending my "art" mornings for a while!
Many thanks!
Hurdygurdy This is the consequence of a literate and scholarly society
I love how you credit the music inside your video. ^^ Just a detail, but it's a really nice touch. Tops off the overall professionalism.
Hello and thanks a lot. I only do it when it's 'real' music. If I'm honest most of what I use in non-copyright generic stuff so I don't get a copyright strike from youtube - and with a lot of that the creators are largely uncredited, so I can't credit them either.
I can't say enough about the quality and value of your work. Thank you.
Hello and it's very rewarding when viewers bother to let me know they value the content of my videos. So thanks a lot to you.
Pete, thanks for this latest edition of your entertaining and insightful series about illustration. Wunderbar !
The only videos I don’t fast forward on RUclips, thank you Pete!
Hello and thanks a lot for your comment - very welcome and good to know.
Thanks Pete - another beautifully presented and brilliantly researched video. Best wishes to you for the year ahead!
I had never heard of this publisher before..the array of artwork displayed here is wonderful and fulfilling. This is a great video presentation to be enjoyed for years to come..as i know i will be rewatching it time and time again.Thank you for this post greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work !!!!
Many thanks for your appreciation of this video. I'm very pleased that you find so much by these nearly forgotten illustrators worth examining.
Goes to show how art reflects the atmosphere of its era in history from the vibrant, lavishing, and diverse styles of Jugend's prime artists to the depressing, restrictive, and melancholy of its art and artists during WWII and the aftermath. It had a good run and the artists have left a legacy for themselves that stood the test of time past the magazine's cancellation. Thank you for sharing, Pete
Hello and I agree that it's a great pity that the nazi ideology invaded everey part of German culture. I find myself wondering how many of the artists were just doing their best to not get put in concentartion camps by seeming to toe the party line. We'll never know.
@@petebeard yes, it's depressing to think about it and unfortunate reality that some may have not been so lucky. At least there's a channel like yours to document the unsung heroes ☺️
I was browsing my you tube first page and looking for something interesting to watch and was really glad to find this video there. It's a sensible look trhough some beatiful imagery. Thank you for your work.
Hello and many thanks for your favourable comment. I hope you'll continue to watch other videos on the channel.
Thank you so much for yet another wonderful film. I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoy each and every one of your pieces, they are educational, informative and entertaining and introduce me to a host of amazing illustrators who I would otherwise never know about. This is easily the best channel on RUclips and long may it continue. Thank you!
Hello Mark, and thanks so much for your comment. When viewers go out of their way to respond so positively to what I've done it really does mean a lot, and convinces me I'm doing something useful in my old age. No plans to give up yet - there's too many more to be done. Thanks again.
I've just come across this entirely by chance. I'd never heard of the magazine, or any of the artists. A revelation. I wonder if the earlier issues found their way to England, and were seen by Beardsley.
Hello and that's an interesting speculation. I've read a fair bit about Beardsley but never seen any mention of Jugend - which doesnt mean he wasn't aware of it. And there is quite a lot of evidence to show there was interraction between various European, British and American illustrators. In the end we can only guess when information is incomplete and unreliable.
I’ve also read about Beardsley and don’t recall a reference to Jugend (which I heard about in the 1970s), but I can see how you drew that conclusion
Many thanks for putting this together. It’s amazing to see the creativity of other generations and cultures. Also interesting, if a bit sad, to see how this creative enterprise was overtaken by cultural and historical events. I really appreciate your work, Pete!
Hello and thanks for your appreciation of this video. And the ultimate decline and fall of this marvellous magazine is a great tragedy I think.
What a great Christmas present, a new installment. Thanks Pete and have a Happy New Year.
Thanks as usual and the same to you regarding the coming year. Frankly I wasn't expecting to even be around in 2020.
What a trip! I knew about Simplicissimus through my dad who worked for the Wilhelm Busch Museum in Hannover, but had never so much as heard of Jugend or any of these illustrators! What an amazing primer! Thank you!
Growing up, I had heard the term, "Jugendstil"(or read it), but did not know much about it; though I could usually recognize examples when I saw them. We learned a bit more in art class when I was a teenager, but then the teacher only briefly mentioned the magazine without going into details. Or at least, I don't remember - it's been nearly 35 yers! ;-) :-D
ETA: I grew up in the greater Hannover area, but never made it to that museum. Too late now, I guess... :-\
Another important and insightful piece. Thanks Pete. You always make my day.
Thanks a lot - and it makes my day to get a positive comment.
Thank you for making this.
Thanks for watching and liking.
Could listen to this man for hours on end.
Hello and thanks a lot. I can't tell if you mean because of what I say, how I say it or both. But whichever it is I'm very flattered.
Another educational & entertaining film. the music and compilation wereexcellent.
Thanks a lot. I try to be both entertaining and educational so it's good to know you think I succeed in this modest ambition.
What a fascinating topic, and with such beautiful images. I imagine most of the originals are stashed in museums and private collections, but I would love to become a collector of this type of magazine, given the opportunity and resources. I don't collect things, as a rule, so I'm really surprised that this urge grabs me so strongly.
Hello and thanks a lot for the vote of confidence. Sadly the evidence (or lack of it) suggests that not many of the original images have survived. Many were stone lithographs so technically there was no original, and others would have been considered largely worthless. There are some to be had and the best way to find them is to select a particular illustrator's work you like and google them for auction sites. A search for Jugend in general goes nowhere...
This is excellent..WOw, i learned a lot.I had never heard of this magazine before and most of the artists..A great scan over history in Germany illustrative art at the times...thanks..
Hello and thanks a lot for your enthusiasm. I'm glad you discovered these almost forgotten illustrators.
Morning Pete.... thanks for another illuminating video. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Hi John - and best wishes to you.
Wonderful narrative. Beautiful art work - thanks for sharing.
Hello and thanks a lot for your favourable comment.
Gracias por tu trabajo y por mostrarnos a grandes artistas para darle seguimiento a su arte. El contenido de tu canal es oro!
Hola y muchas gracias por su entusiasta respuesta al contenido del canal. Significa mucho para mí.
I have stumbled upon a gold mine scattered with diamonds as big as your fist sir. Your gift is much appreciated.
Hello and many thanks for your flattering comments. It means a lot to me to know viewers appreciate what the channel is trying to do.
Another great one. The effort does not go unnoticed!
Thanks as usual.For what it's worth I think it's one of my better efforts, and I'll see what the general verdict is from viewers. Have a good new year
Well rounded and most informative, thank you mr Beard. Was surprised to find so little on Wikipedia about Die Jugend.
Hello and many thanks. Yes, like most illustration it's under-appreciated.
a thoroughly researched video on Jugend. it's always sobering indeed to look back at pre war Germany, it's art, culture, music, philosophy and science, and feel cold at the fascistic nosedive their once great society took. Jugendstil has long been a favourite of mine, and to see the creeping cubism into illustration is fascinating. if only Rosa Luxembourg had won the day
Hello and thanks a lot. I've lost count now of the number of great German and Austrian illustrators I've featured in my videos who ended up as propaganda tools for the third reich. It has to be said the seeds of that mentality were sown with the Wagnerian heroic ubermensch obsessions of many of the Jugend artists.
This was wonderful. I loved searching through Jugend on the Heidelberg University archives but I admit I didn't make it past the 1910s. It was really fascinating to hear about the history of the entire magazine. I know there are art magazines out there but I wish we still had something cohesive, romantic and optimistic as Jugend today.
Hello and thanks for the comment. I must admit I thought I must have died and gone to heaven when I found the Heidelberg archive. Sadly, it doesn't look like there's any likelihood of a contemporary equivalent to this marvellous magazine.
This is superb. A real contribution to illustration!
Hello and thanks very much for your appreciation of the video. I hope you'll watch more on the channel.
Absolutely fascination -- danke schön!
Vielen dank! I'm glad you enjoyed it - a great group of illustrators.
It is art that brings us out of our inward caves, to give the world it's meanings.
Hello and that's a great way to put it.
Awesome video Pete! Thank you for all your hard work!
Thanks as usual I'm hoping this one goes down well because there are more of a similar nature
@@petebeard That's good to know! I think it's a great way to talk about some talented artists connected to different publications who lack enough surviving history to warrant a full feature in the unsung heroes series. I always feel especially troubled when I come across a piece of art that moves me, yet I'm unable to find anything else from the same artist. An excess of ability coupled with an absence of a significant body of work is a special kind of tragedy.
Great work as always Pete. Happy Christmas!
Hi and thanks. And the same to you for Christmas and the new year.
Merry Christmas, thanks Pete!
Thanks a lot and hopefully a happy new year
I am glad to have accepted ... the invitation .. onto this wonderful byway . Vielen Dank 🌾
Hello and welcome to the channel. I hope you''ll subscribe and watch more videos.
Cheers, Pete, saw your video on Heinrich Kley a week ago, ordered it from the local library and just picked it up today. Fantastic stuff.
Hello and Kley is certainly someone who bears looking at for considerable amounts of time. Enjoy...
Beautifully made video. Thank you.
Hello and thanks a lot for that. It is a personal favourite which I had hoped would attract more views than it has to date. There seems to be no telling what will and won't be popular(ish).
Beautiful. Thank you for this excellent piece of work
Hello and thanks a lot. I hope you'll continue to watch the channel content.
@@petebeard Definitely. I am interested in Graphic illustration and you have some great stuff And really informative commentary. I have you posts earmarked to keep returning to.
Fantastic! It's impressive how hard the impact of the two wars was on the world of art and illustration in Europe.
Hello again and this s a reply to both your recent comments. In making the video I found out a lot I didn't know about Cassandre, and discovered some remarkable work - theatre design for example that I hadn't seen. And regarding Jugend and other magazines of the time they do act as a historical record of the ups and significant downs of life on earth in the 20th century.
@@petebeard I had no idea about theatre at all! TBF I studied very little of the history of it, so any famous artist working for backgrounds and costume would most likely come as a surprise to me. But his style is so different in them too!
Publications like Jugend are such gold mines to see style evolve over time I think. Reminds me of fashion magazines through the ages, also recording the ups and down and taste of each era.
What an absolutely wonderful video. Thank you very much.
Hello and thanks a lot. I hope you'll watch others on the channel too.
@@petebeard I definitely will, thank you.
Love this content. Thank you!
Hi and thanks a lot. Nice to be appreciated.
Thank you for this free lecture on a small part of german art history.
The pleasure is all mine.
Thank you. As usual, well-presented and informative.
Hello again and thanks a lot.
I really love this channel.
Hello and that;s really good to know. Thanks.
Thank you for this. A revelation to me.
Hello and I'm very pleased to have introduced you to this remarkable collection of illustrations.
Perfect art!
Hope to see you in the next time!
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation of this video.
Once again astounded by the talent unknown in this presentation thank you sir x
Hi again and thanks again. So many great illustrations and illustrators virtually forgotten in most cases.
@@petebeard so true Peter i cannot believe how many are forgotten !!
just wonderful !!!
Hi and thanks a lot. I'm glad you enjoyed it - it's a personal favourite of mine.
Outstanding Pete Beard 👏👏👏Thank You SIR ! How do You Do This So Consistently GRAND? BRAVO
Hello and my eternal thanks for your support and comment. It helps to have such remarkable material to work with, thats for sure.
@@petebeard once again how Ever do you Find it all ... And Present it Sp Very Succinctly - Thank you , Me 🤔Thinks Your Channel Has No EQUEL ! ☮️❤️💪🏼🎨👍
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Thank you.
Hello again and thanks again for your appreciation.
Ah, *Wagner* ... nice 🎼🎼🎼🎶🎶🎶🎵
Loved it. Thanks.
And tanks to you for your appreciation.
Most interesting collection of talented illustrators …unfortunate circumstances that the ended magazine…such a variety of artists that contributed over the years
Hello again and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. And yes it was a real shame how it ended up.
wunderbar! I only wish we could have seen larger images. Thank you, Sir.
Hello and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Heartbreaking. This story reminds me of the arc of Grand Budapest Hotel, a beautiful but unsustainable period of elegance and beauty, cut short by war. It seems to be the story of Europe in that period, a struggle to maintain life-affirming optimism and beauty, only to succumb, in the end, to the toxic seduction of anger, and the illusions of power that organized anger brings. I fear we're at the tipping point of the same cycle, with our global creativity too entranced by a romantic fantasy of the past to contend with the issues of the moment. And as with the magazine, we seem to watch as, little by little, the messages of violent domination as the highest good sneak in everywhere. Maybe art was always like this.
Hello and thanks for your comment and observation. You make valid points about the twin aspects of our natures
@@petebeard Thanks much! Sorry if It went overboard there. Anyway, I had no knowledge of this amazing periodical. There really should be a multi-volume retrospective. Maybe Stuart Ng would be able to put it together. Maybe he already has.
I'm also wondering how many stick-in-the-mud fans of the magazine got all bent out of shape when it shifted from beaux-arts to deco. I can just imagine 20-something me back in the early 30s moaning about the weird, alienating crudeness of deco painting. "Why can't art stay the same?"
Much as I adore the lush, romantic art of the Nouveau period, it does ignore some crucial aspects of modern life. Its preoccupation with beauty and the mythic grandeur of the past seems designed to gloss over the growing darkness in Europe at the time, a darkness better explored by expressionism. Personally, I find these two disparate styles complement one another beautifully, expressing the yin and yang of European culture at the time.
fascinating, this way the big line in illustrations become more and more visible
Hello and thanks a lot for your comments. I'm very pleased you are enjoying the channel content.
I really enjoyed this documentary. I wonder now which of the 'Unsung Heroes' series features the work of Willie Pogany, a Hungarian illustrator who self published highly illustrated books in the late 20's to 30's, two titles of which were Richard Wagner's 'Tannhauser', and Samuel Coleridge Taylor's 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner', a copy of which I am privileged to own.
Hello and many thanks for your positive response to the video. Pogany actually features in the very first of the unsung heroes of illustration series so if you havent already seen it I hope you think I've done him justice (however briefly).
@@petebeard Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. i will take a look. I will also be going through all the other episodes to learn more. I am in the process of trying to illustrate my translation of the Bhagavad Gita from English to Afrikaans, (an indigenous language in South Africa) and I need all the good ideas I can find. Like, how on Earth does one draw the all-encompassing cosmic magnificence of Krishna as he appeared to Arjuna, over a 2 page spread? :-D
Thank you, Pete Beard! Merry Christmas to me!
And merry Christmas to you, too. Love your videos!
Thanks a lot for watching and liking the videos.
Great video, thank you!
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation.
Family lore tells that our grandfather claimed he was Dutch, due to the negative image of the Kaiser so many Americans held during the "GREAT" war.
Hi and thanks for the insight. Not a man you would want to be associated with at the time.
I need this for the reference about Deutschland. Thank you so much
Hello and I'm glad it is useful to you.
Thanks for your work, i really enjoy it!
I hope to stager once across a magasin from Jugend..
Hello and thanks for the appreciation.
I've been eagerly awaiting your next installment. Well done.
Thanks very much and watch this space for the next... and the next...
Thanks
Well done sir, some wirral news, Williamson art gallery saved from closure, keep up with the great work that you do...E
To my shame I'd never heard of that gallery, or that it was in peril. But it's always good to know the philistines don't always get their way.
Im glad I found this ,
Hello ... and so am I. Welcome!
fantastic video. Thankyou
Hello and I'm particularly pleased you like this one. I reckon it may well be my personal favourite.
Fascinating! Is there a museum dedicated to these publications, or perhaps copies of them that one can buy? I'd love to leaf through these... what a historical and cultural treasure trove!
Hello and thanks a lot for your comment. As far as I know there is no such museum. But I seem to recall that I've seen original copies of the magazine for sale on the internet. Most of the images I used were from the Heidelberg University archive.
You got a new subscriber , well done , good voice too
Hello. Thanks for watching and subscribing. I hope you find more to enjoy.
Along with myself Mr. Beard and thank you for bringing this film to my doorstep. Sincerely, Sentebey
Hello and welcome. And thanks a lot for subscribing.
Awesome art 🥰 I want to be centaur 🥰
Thanks. You would struggle to find trousers that fit.
Thank you!
And thanks to you for watching.
Nice tribute, sad ending to a good product
Thanks and yes - a great pity that it was downhill all the way in the 30s.
What do you think the odds would be of finding a few original copies of this magazine, from any era it was published?
It was basically draw & paint whatever you want, and we'll publish it, letting artists take chances they might not otherwise.
Very cool.
Hello and there seem to be copies for sale on ebay and others. They claim (and I have no reason to doubt them) that they are originals, but I'd be a bit wary. The magazine was printed on poor quality paper and the years will not have been kind. But if it's originals you want they seem to be going for 25 - 30 dollars each. Myself I'll stick to the free archive at the university of Heidelberg. Every copy published and you can just ignore the pages of ads.
Great video. Thanks!
Hello and many thanks for your positive response to the video. I hope you'll find more of interset on the channel.
Finally being german has some benefits! I can read all the old german texts which always facinated me
Hello and I'm sure there must be other benefits, but your humour is much appreciated. I apologise for my pronunciation of German words - I know it's pretty bad but you shouldn't be surprised. That's the English for you.
So Jugend (Youth) had a lifespan of decades roughly similar to that of a person of the 20th century, and died prematurely as a consequence of WWII... How sadly fitting.
Hello and someone smarter than me observed that there are no happy endings. Like most truthful statements, somewhat depressing.
Hi Pete! Can you suggest any illustrated books specifically addressing the history and/or art of the magazine? By the way, your videos are great and I love your voice, too! I have recently applied to a school for Illustrators and I really benefit from your work!
Hello and thanks a lot for your kind comments about the channel - and my croaky old vocal chords. I'm glad to hear you are finding it useful for your proposed career. As far as books about magazine illustration are concerned I am not aware of any comprehensive book on the subject. But I know there are some books (maybe in or out of print - the web will tell you) on specific magazines. For example there is - or at least there was - a great one about the Radio Times in Britain. But the web is bursting with pictures and information. That's where all the Jugend stuff came from. And I'm currently working on more videos about specific magazines from around the world - Le Sourire, Simplicissimus, New Yorker and so on.
great video, thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment.
indeed thank you a moving story
Hello and thanks for your appreciation.
I love the video great work, where did you find the images?
Thanks a lot for watching. Some are from my collection of books, but most are from the internet. Many libraries and universities have archives of old magazines - but you have to know what you are searching for in the first place.
@@petebeard actually I just meet jugend because of your video, I will search in some universities archives for the complete illustration works, thanks for the information and your amazing job in the videos.
Hi again - sorry I misunderstood. It's the Heidelberg university archive for jugend - and others.
I haven’t checked but Gutenberg.org might have some of books or magazines
Excellent
Thanks.
*Thanks* for introducing Jugend.
Will visit the University of Heidelberg archives.
Hi again, and brace yourself for days and days of immersive content. A goldmine of great images and other mags too.
@@petebeard
Whoa, coming from you I'll take heed and stock up on extra food and supplies for the excursion.
thanks
***** Well Done,
Hello and many thanks.
I stumbled across a ( apparently singular printing ) collection of “ JUGEND “ in the mid eighties . It was a German language publication with pretty good production value. I should have snatched it up and paid the thirty dollar price tag, buuuuuut I was a much younger, less worldly person with a lot less pocket change, so it languished where it was. I thought the name “ JUGEND “ ( pronounced to myself as “ jug - end “, because I’m American, and we are proudly ignorant of other languages! 🧐) was funny, but the art wasn’t particularly humorous… yes, I have kicked myself repeatedly for not making that purchase! Thanks for the video!
Hello and that's an unfortunate tale. Thank heavens for the internet, I say. It has preserved many things which would otherwise have vanished I'm sure. And we Brits are (almost) as bad with foreign words. I've been corrected many times in the comments section.
It makes me wonder how large the images are on the ebay dvd's of the magazine.
Hello and you could save yourself some money online. A search for 'jugend magazine archive' will take you to various sources offering every issue in full in PDF format (and decent resolution). I used the University of Heidelberg library but there are others.
Amazing
Hello and it certainly was.
very interesting
Hello again and thanks again.
Is it Parsifal prelude playing in the beginning?
Yes - or at least that's what it said it was when I downloaded it so I'm pretty sure it's Wagner all the way.
If you did indeed _"find plenty of high resolution images",_ ...
then why on earth is this video only in 480p?!?
That was what I believe is known as a 'mistake'.
Is Jugend in the public domain now?
Hello and the short answer is I'm not sure. I know that I'm legally able to use these images under the terms of what the law calls 'fair use'. And copyright must have lapsed on stuff that's over 100 years old. But if you were to print these images on let's say some T shirts and sell them I suspect someone somewhere would have a problem with that.
This may be an ignorant question, but why didn't Jugend [and publications of its kind] relocate to a safer locale? They could publish and maintain readership in other countries just as easily, couldn't they?
Hello and it's far from ignorant. But being German they would have had to leave their homes, uproot their families and work in what for them would have been a foreign language/culture. That's if another country would take them in which would be doubtful. And men with guns would have been a fairly persuasive argument to get on board with the new boss. I suspect that those of us who aren't German from that generation will always struggle to understand the level of intimidation and control the Nazis exerted on their own citizens.
@@petebeard True, but there were several Russian neighborhoods with expat publications through Europe because of being run out by the revolution decades earlier. A young Vladimir Nabokov wrote for some -- in Germany, strangely enough. I wondered why Germans didn't do likewise. (Some did, of course, especially the Jewish ones.)
@@petebeard Beautiful response.
Are there any modern equivalents to these kinds if publications?
Hello and as far as I know the sad short answer is 'no'. What a great pity. Although I suppose some might say that online art forums offer a similar platform.
Is there anyone you know who can help you upload a upload a higher quality vid than 480p to show of these cans you say are high quality?
Hello and it isn't that I don't know how to improve the quality. I would do it gladly but I have lost the original file and would have to make the whole thing again from scratch.
i cant really say how long ago you posted this video, but you can download all the jugend magazines in this link
digi.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/diglit/jugend
in normal quality and superhighquality
Hello and thanks - that's where the majority of the pictures came from. What a fabulous archive
❤❤❤
Thank you for the link
How will we continue without magazines?
Hi Jeff and thanks for your comments. Regarding the demise of the illustrated magazine I think it's one of the great backward steps taken in popular culture. I know it's no good lamenting 'progress' but we'll never see anything like the glory of Jugend ever again.
Kay Nielsen
What about him?
Irrational and obsessive hatred of nudity is a Protestant thing. The Nazis were pagans at heart, or at least they respected traditional Germanic paganism more than any religion, and so they didn't mind explicit art as long as it wasn't in any modernist (or "degenerate", in their own terminology) style.
Did ANYONE paint women with their clothes on? Geez.
Well, yes - on occasion.But it does seem that from the renaissance onward 'undraped' seems to have been the preferred option.
