Who was Karl Abraham?

Interesting that he was Melanie Klein’s analyst and his work developing on pre-oedipal issues.

Andrew Marshall's avatarMental Health Matters

Introduction

Karl Abraham (03 May 1877 to 25 December 1925) was an influential German psychoanalyst, and a collaborator of Sigmund Freud, who called him his ‘best pupil’.

Life

Abraham was born in Bremen, Germany. His parents were Nathan Abraham, a Jewish religion teacher (1842-1915), and his wife (and cousin) Ida (1847-1929). His studies in medicine enabled him to take a position at the Burghölzli Swiss Mental Hospital, where Eugen Bleuler practiced. The setting of this hospital initially introduced him to the psychoanalysis of Carl Gustav Jung.

Collaborations

In 1907, he had his first contact with Sigmund Freud, with whom he developed a lifetime relationship. Returning to Germany, he founded the Berliner Society of Psychoanalysis in 1910. He was the president of the International Psychoanalytical Association from 1914 to 1918 and again in 1925.

Sketching near Oban, Argyle and Bute, Scotland

This must have been a brilliant adventure! My parents were in Oban during the war where my father was an aircraft fitter making modifications to Bristol Beaufighters and Blenheims. Fortunately, your trip was much more peaceful!

Every year the Lady of Avenel needs a refit to prepare her for her working season. The Lady of Avenel is an 102ft square rigged brigantine, currently based near Oban, on the west coast of Scotland. This year I went up there to join the working party for the refit.

I travelled by overnight train from Euston to Crianlarach.

Journey via the Caledonian Sleeper from London to Oban. Map from the Caledonian Sleeper webpage. The overnight journey takes about 10 hours Euston-Crianlarach. Then I caught a local train Crianlarach to Oban.

I drew some sketches on the journey.

Kazimierz Sichulski’s Galician Landscapes 1

Lovely portrayal of this area so much in our minds currently.
It reminds me very much of the work of Stanisław Wyspiański

hoakley's avatarThe Eclectic Light Company

A few weeks ago, when I showed paintings of the Hutsul peoples of the Carpathian Mountains, I came across the work of Kazimierz Sichulski (1879–1942), who’s generally recognised as one of the major Polish artists of the early twentieth century, but was both born and died in Lviv in western Ukraine. In this article and its sequel next week, I look more generally at Sichulski’s remarkable paintings.

Sichulski was born in the city of Lviv in what is now Ukraine. From 1349 to 1772, that city, then known as Lwów, was the capital of the Ruthenian domain of the Kingdom of Poland. At the time of Sichulski’s birth it was the capital of the Galician province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, although it still had strong ties to Poland, for example in being the home of the Polish Academy of Arts. During Sichulski’s lifetime, Lviv was a multilingual and multicultural centre…

Sie wiegen sich in frischen Frühlingslüften…

🌼~ Elbenfrühling ~ 🌼

Mit Knospen zart und noch nicht blätterdunkel
wärmt grünend sich der Wald im Lichtgefunkel
von heller Blüt und Sonnenstrahl das Herz,
als würd mit der Erinnerung im März
und Sehnsuchtszeit im dürftigen Gewand
nun im April ein Öffnendes gesandt
und hingestreut wie kindliches Erstaunen
in Matten feengleich, schneeweißem Schein,
ein Flügeln sachte zwischen den Alraunen
und dichten Moosen hier im Zauberhain;
das ist der Anemonengeister Reigen,
Windblümchen stiegen aus den Erdengrüften,
sie wiegen sich in frischen Frühlingslüften
und wollen nichts als blühn, Entfaltung zeigen,
als wüssten sie, ein Hauch nimmt sie bald fort,
mitten im Aufgehn ein Verwehn am Ort –
so sprießt des Daseins ewiges Bemühn,
bald zugedeckt vom stillen Maiengrün…
