Kodwa ngentwasahlobo yowe-1938, uKallir, owayesaziwa njengo-Otto Nierenstein nomnye wabathengisi bezobugcisa abangamaJuda ababalaseleyo e-Vienna, wazifumana elungiselela ukuthengisa umzobo mhlawumbi kwezona zithandwa zobugcisa zembali: Adolf Hitler.
Imbalelwano engachazwanga ngaphambili, engcwatyelwe phantse ikota yesithathu yenkulungwane kwindawo yokugcina izinto eViennese, bonisa uKallir embindini wentengiselwano yobugcisa ebandakanya abanye babalinganiswa ababiyo bexesha, kubandakanya uHitler, inkosi yeentetho zamaNazi uJoseph Goebbels, kunye noBruno Grimschitz , umgcini wamaNazi kwigalari yaseOstriya. UHitler wayefuna Umzobo weNenekazi eliselula nguFerdinand Georg Waldmüller, omnye wabapeyinti abathandayo. Kwaye uKallir, ethanda okanye hayi, wayengumthengisi omfumanele.
U-Kallir akazange enze nzuzo kwintengiso, ngaphandle kokubuyisa kwimali mboleko ayenzileyo kumnini wokuqala. Ukanti umthengi ophawulekayo uphakamisa umbuzo omangalisayo: Igama likaHitler livela phi phakathi kwabathengi abaninzi, kubandakanya iGuggenheim, iMyuziyam yoBugcisa bemihla ngemihla kunye neGalari kaZwelonke yezoBugcisa, ezenza igama lomnye wabathengisi abaphumeleleyo kwinkulungwane edlulileyo. ?
Impendulo? Kuxhomekeka ekubeni ubuza kubani na.
Abaxhasi bakaKallir, oyintloko phakathi kwabo umzukulwana wakhe, uJane Kallir, ingcali yeSchiele eyaziwayo kwilizwe liphela, kunye nabalondolozi baseRonald Lauder's uNeue Galerie, ethiywe ngegama kwigumbi lokubonisa laseKallir eViennese, bathi oonobumba abasandula ukufunyanwa baqinisa igama likaKallir ngokutyhila umntu owenza njengembeko kangangoko xa kuqhutywa ngeziganeko ezikhohlakeleyo zembali kwimeko engenakwenzeka. Amaxwebhu, aphikisanayo, abonisa ukuba uKallir wayefuna ukwenza into encinci ngentengiso kwaye akazange azuze nto kuyo. Ngokuthimba kukaHitler iOstriya kwakusondele, kwaye abaxhasi bamaNazi bavela macala onke kuye, ukusinda kwakuyeyona nto iphambili. Ukuphika umzobo onqwenelwa nguHitler ngokwakhe kunokuba yimpazamo ebulalayo.
Abagxeki bakaKallir, nangona kunjalo, bathi irekhodi lakhe ngoku lonakele, kunye neeprojekhthi zamanqaku obugcisa athengiselwe uChristie's noSotheby's, singasathethi ke ngamaziko enkcubeko aphambili kwihlabathi, ngoku azifihliwe. Okanye u-Ray Dowd, igqwetha lase-New York elemba iileta, kwaye ngubani na okwangoku ophikisayo kwiNkundla yesiThili sase-New York malunga nokuchasana kwempumelelo yomzobo kaSchiele owawuthengiswe nguKallir.
Ukuba la macala mabini avumelana ngento enye yile: Imbalelwano ikhanyisa isibane esincinci kwisithuba esimdaka esimnyama ngamashumi eminyaka, kwaye inika umbono onqabileyo kwelinye lamaxesha oxinzelelo kubomi bomthengisi ojamelene nokuvukelwa umhlaba wakhe kunye nelahleko enokubakho kuyo yonke imizobo awayeyithanda kuyo. Kwaye zonke ezo ngxubakaxaka zinokulandelwa emva kwi-watercolorist eyahlulekayo eyaba yinkokheli ye-Third Reich. Akumangalisi ke ngoko ukuba uKallir wayefuna ukugcina indima yakhe ekuthengiseni uHitler ngomfanekiso oyimfihlo. Kwaye emva kwexesha elide eswelekile, ngo-1978, waphumelela ukwenza njalo.
UFUNA UKUQHUBEKA, utshilo uJane Kallir eofisini yakhe eGalerie St. Etienne, apho imizobo kaSchiele, Klimt kunye no-Oskar Kokoschka ixhonywe eludongeni. Uthe utatomkhulu wakhe uxelele amabali amaninzi malunga nokubaleka kwakhe namaNazi, kubandakanya nokutshisa oko wayecinga ukuba yimizobo yoqobo nguMlawuli. (Bajika baba ziimbumbulu.) Eli bali alinaso isiphelo esonwabisayo.
Lo ngumzekelo wohlobo lweemeko ngelo xesha kunye noxinzelelo lwabantu ababephantsi kwaye kwafuneka bathi kulungile, kulungile ndiza kwenza nantoni na oyifunayo ukuze uphume uphile, wongeze uHildegard Bachert, umJuda Umthengisi wezobugcisa owathi, njengoKallir, wabaleka amaNazi. Phantse iminyaka engama-40, wanceda uKallir eGalerie, apho asasebenza khona nangoku. UKallir kwafuneka aphume.
