Talk:Hermann Nonnenmacher

Inge King

edit

The article on Inge King (neé Neufeld) says she was a pupil of Nonnenmacher during 1936-37 (no reference cited). Presumably this was in Germany before they both left for England.

It would be good to mention Inge King in this article, together with any other notable pupils. Can anyone find a citable reference? Verbcatcher (talk) 18:27, 8 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Erna Rosenberg-Nonnenmacher

edit

Was Erna Rosenberg-Nonnenmacher married to Nonnenmacher, as her name suggests? When did they marry?

The first paragraph says In Berlin they had lived and worked... but it does say who they were. Was this Hermann and Erna? I suggest introducing Erna in the first paragraph.

This sentence doesn't make sense:

Their art was classified as degenerate by the Nazis, and Erna was persecuted as a Jew, ao the couple emigrated to London in 1938 sculptor Erna Rosenberg-Nonnenmacher.

Was Erna interned with Hermann on the Isle of Man? Verbcatcher (talk) 19:04, 8 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Teacher

edit

Nonnenmacher is introduced as a sculptor, painter and teacher, but no further mention is made of his painting or teaching. Did he teach in a school or college? Did he have any notable students (see above on Inge King). Verbcatcher (talk) 19:08, 8 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Nationality

edit

The infobox has Nationality Germann. As he was a refugee from Germany and it appears that he lived for the rest of his life in Britain, it seems more than possible that he became naturalised British. In the absence of further evidence I will delete this entry from the infobox. Verbcatcher (talk) 22:07, 8 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Research for more material

edit

I have found a reference to a book on Hermann and Erna Nonnenmacher:

Jacob, Stefan (2003). Hermann Nonnenmacher, Coburg 1892 - 1988 London, Erna Nonnenmacher, Berlin 1889 - 1980 London : Leben und Werk in Texten, Bildern und Dokumenten (in German). Germany (?): Stegaurach.

There was a retrospective exhibition of sculptures and drawings by Hermann Nonnenmacher in King's College, London from 9-13 October 1973. [1] Verbcatcher (talk) 00:02, 9 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Commissions

This phrase is confusing (I can't open the David Buckman reference):

Church of St. John, Waterloo Road; Boulton and Paul Norwich and works in Morton College, Oxford

Does the mean this church in Manchester: Church of St John the Evangelist, Cheetham Hill, and this factory in Norwich: Boulton & Paul Ltd? Verbcatcher (talk) 01:57, 9 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

...and presumably Merton College, Oxford. Verbcatcher (talk) 02:05, 9 February 2014 (UTC) I think you are correct on both references.Reply

For me the David Buckman link opens a fancy book display widget probably, javascript, maybe you have this blocked ? I have extracted the relevant bit to my be site for you http://chenopod.net/dnwPhotos/picture.php?/5/category/2

Thanks for posting the extract.
I agree that "Church of St. John, Waterloo Road" almost certainly means the church in central London, but the reference doesn't specify London. There are lots of Waterloo Roads in England and lots of St John's churches, so it could be a different one. However, Londoners are often insular and ignore other places, Nonnenmacher lived in London, and the Waterloo district of London is probably the most well known Waterloo in England. I've looked at the church's website and they don't mention this sculpture, but it could have been mislaid or lost the sculptor's name. I'm ok with what you've written, but some Wikipedia purists might object.
"Boulton & Paul, Norwich" is also problematic. The articles on Boulton & Paul Ltd and Boulton Paul Aircraft say that the aircraft business in Norwich closed in 1934 and relocated to Wolverhampton. This was before Nonnenmacher came to England. However, this web site [[2]] indicates that a Boulton & Paul business continued in Norwich until at least 1947, so a Nonnenmacher commission there is credible.
