Talk:Marianne Kürzinger

Updates
I just updated the German article in some aspects and added a subcategory to the Commons category (see also two Talk pages there).

So, if you return to this old article of yours, maybe you'd like to adopt some of my edits (year of birth, place of death, husband not "from Munich", father, brother) for the English article as well if you find them convincing. Most of the sources are available online for verification (in German). -- Martinus KE (talk) 11:20, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for connecting with me,, and awesome that you updated Kürzinger DE-WP biography: de:Marianne Kürzinger. My German:English translation skills are very very poor, so if you feel inclined to update this EN-WP article, please go for it, with my appreciation. Likewise, pinging , who may be inclined to do so. --Rosiestep (talk) 19:30, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

 * There's certainly useful material in the German version of Marianne Kürzinger. Will look more carefully at it tomorrow.--Ipigott (talk) 19:39, 2 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your kind replies! – Basically, I'm more interested in Kürzinger's father (see c:Category:Franz Seraph Kirzinger) and just got sidetracked when I was looking for wiki information about him. Also, doing the same kind of edits to articles in multiple languages would somehow feel like crosspost-spamming to me. So, I'd rather leave the English Wikipedia's content to the English-language community.
 * Since then, I found an inspiring 4-page, 2021 catalogue text, which describes one of the museum's paintings and includes a section on its painter, to be quite interesting.
 * Johann Kunz was born in Prague and only came to Munich a few years before the marriage.
 * What I could not add to the German article yet: (1) An old note in my files says that Kürzinger also did prints (etchings). To be verified ... and to be proven by referring to good sources. – (2) Those costume designs in Munich and Moscow museums, as well as some paintings with “theatrical” titles, suggest that she probably had some kind of connection to the “world” of theatre. Maybe(?) that's also how she met her husband-to-be. Obviously, for now, this is largely “original research” and thus not ready to be entered in a Wikipedia article. – (3) On a more general scale, Kürzinger's life may be interesting for feminist art history. After her husband's early death, she did not remarry. So, it would seem that she was able to make a living from her art. This in turn seems to fit into a larger trend: In the generation(s) after Angelika Kauffmann, an increasing number of female painters and printmakers is known ... and brought to our attention once again, these days. -- Martinus KE (talk) 13:42, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
