Heckecher ranged so far in his interests. His universality in fact convinced me that his achievement ‘can never be properly appreciated as long as one sees it in isolation from other cultural ‘manifestations and endeavours that took place around him and which, undoubtedly, encouraged him to pursue his self-chosen path. [ propose to examine Warburg's achieve- ment not only on its own merits but also when seen against the background of an age of synthesis, an age to which he belonged and of which he was one of the most sig- nificant representatives, In short, I am convinced that it is not just sensible but abso- lately necessary to speak of the achievements made at this time in fields as divergent from one another, and from art history, as those of Einstein's Theory, Freud's Method of Psychoanalysis, of a number of tedunical and social advances, of the Motion Pictures and of Motion Photography and, last but not least, of the figurative arts. Tconology was born in the month of October of the year 1912. It was then that in a thirty minute lecture given by Warburg, the iconclogical method paraded for the first ‘ime ia full panoply. The word ikonologisch appears three times in Warburg's paper on “Antike Kosmologie in den Monatsdarstellungen des Palazzo Schifanoja zu Ferrars.” Whether he was aware of it or not, this word ikonologisch turned into the key-word in his discourse. Each time he used the adjective, Warburg, used it in the set phrase “ikono- logische Analyse"! The occasion was the Xth International Congress of Art History ‘which convened in Rome? As we look back from the vantage point of the year 1964, this ‘eccasion reminds us, in its setting and in its implications, of the solemn launching of a ship. More than two generations have passed since then. In the meantime the words “iconology” and “Warburg Method,” and justifiably so, have virtually become inter 1This was the tle of Warburg's aig typetriten, dra whic s preserved in Box 200% ofthe Ar- ‘hives of the Warburg insite in Condon slong with the bandwtensetdes preceding See aso [Notes infra The deSstve te “Taersche Konet ed internasionale (te) Astologie Im Palazro Schilatja tu Fecrara” was obviously adapted sm order 10 ft the theme of the Congress.

Heckscher But in the 1910's, the situation was radically changed. Warburg's contemporaries right devote much fruitbearing ingenuity to the stylistic analysis and to the dividing of thands when dealing with Francesco Cossa’s murals in the Salone dei Mesi of the Palazzo Schifancia (pl. 4x2. 3); yet, they would either blissfully ignore the puzzle posed by the central register with the signs of the Zodiac, or they would calmly admit ignocance when iteame to explaining the meaning of those paintings, or they would see nothing in re- sorting to phantasy in suggesting interpretations. It was Warburg alone who spent sleep- fess nights on account of the mystery of the Schifanoia program. For, in contradistinction to his colleagues, he confessed to being haunted by what he called the “enigmatic Sgures” ‘which now, thanks to him, we are able to identify as the personified decani of the months. Fortunately we aze well informed about the circumstances under which — by the grace of innate Serendipity — Warburg hit upon the right solution. Tt was in the year 3908 that he read, in a German translation, Abumasar’s Introductorium magnum, the ninth ‘century depository of Arabic, Ptolemaeic and Indian astrological lore.? He was wonder- Strack When he realized that it was the Indian decani (with theis Egyptian admixtures a5 ‘well as classical Greek antecedents) that had faithfully been recorded on the walls of the North Italian palace, The “enigmatic figures” then, were nothing but a faithful rendering cof Abumasay’s Arabic description. ‘The kind of discovery Warburg made is, of course, a well known phenomenon in every field of scientific endeavour: a man of genius succeeds in mentally Hinking to hitherto unconnected data and thereby arrives at a fresh insight?

Heckscher at the time. To Warburg, however, this was only a preliminary step in the direction of what Vico had called “pure reflexion.” ‘Warbutg’s discovery had been possible only on account of a conscious breakthrough into territory outside the legitimate grazing-grounds of the art historian. He was fully aware of this In the final summing-up in his Congress lecture, he spoke of his achieve- ent as “an iconological analysis which does not allow itself to be hemmed in by the restrictions of the border-police.”> With these words Warburg defiantly paraphrased Cicero's “liberae sunt enim nostrae cogitationes,” a dictum that implied freedom of thought as much as free play of imagination and that was most likely suggested to War- burg by the Abumaser of German proverbial lore, old man Biichmann, who, in his Ge- fligelte Worte, registers: “Gedanken sind zollfre”** With this, Warburg in the year ‘1922 declared his independence from restrictions imposed upon the permissable range of their craft by the art historians themselves. (One thing is certain: with his particular manner of associative thinking, with his dac- ing crossing of frontiers hitherto secured by near-impenetrable taboos, by stressing the interpenetration of the textual with that of the pictorial tradition as a principle valid beyond the one case under investigation, in short with his decompartmentalization (to approptiate a term applied by Panofsky to the Renaissance), Warburg moved in a | direction diametrically opposed to the path followed and steadfastly adhered to by col- leagues of great renown and ment. Let me mention here only two names, those of Walff- lin and Dvotdk. Heinrich Woliflin had delivered on December 7 of the year zor his important address on the Problems of Style in his maiden speech before the Prussian “Academy of Sciences. In this he had asserted that stylistic changes were brought about bby changes in the human eye.* Max Dvotak, on two occasions, falling in the year after “Mn diesem hier gewagten voriafigen Einzslvesuch wollte ich mir ein Paidoyer enauben zugunsten cee iaaadiet Crenacrwelterung uncerer Kunstwssensdhat in stffcher und rSumiicher Bosie- Fate wel hotles durch die Method mines EldSrungsvereuches der Fresken im Palazo Scfanojt OOS a geasgt 2a haben, dal eine iRonologacho Analyse, de sich dorch grenzpolizeliche Bofangen- Rat wederSlaven absctedcen lait, Antike, Mittdalter und Neazet ole suzammenhingende Epocien ae ee douk davon dle Werke fviester und angewandtester Kunst als gleibecechtigte Doku- pote des Ausdrods su belragen, dae diese Methote, sadem sie sorgahig sch wim ce Aufellang fete So hon Dunkelbelt benukt die grden sllgemeinen Entwictungsvorgange fa threm Zusam- ae eee lout: Mir wares weniger at ton um de glate Ling, als wm die Heraushebung cnet ‘tan Pesblem, das ict so formuliecen mochte: Tnwicwet ist der Elnisitt des aiistischen Umschwun~ see Ee Dursllong mensericuerEredsinang in der ialinisden Kunst al international bodinger Re tandersetnungy Proves mit den nachlebenden bildlicien Vorsellungen der hotdnischen Kultor Be Geithen Mitedmecrvlker ancuschen?”” CE Gesarimolte Schiff, tl, Leprig-Berkn, 2932, PP. get Leave Bachmann, Gfligelte Wort.

Heckscher Gans of method, luckily, hardly ever stick to their self-imposed restrictions. There is, however, no denying the widening grap between the two camps, that of Warburg and his school on the one hand and, on the other, that of those committed to problems of style and conoisseurship. ‘The intrinsic contrast in method becomes evident as we look at another characteristic aspect of Warburg’s novel method of research. He selected among the artists engaged in the Schifanoia paintings the weakest hand (cf. pl. 42.2. 3). Fully aware of this artist's lacking ability when compared to Francesco Cossa, Warburg analyzed, in the first place, that master’s decani as well as the rest of the mural (July) in the light of the text of Abumasar. Thereby he succeeded in uncovering what Cossa’s greater gilts had, partly at least, managed to disguise: “das trockene Programm” “the dry program” designed by the Ferrarese court librarian Pellegrino Prisciani” Edgar Wind, in a brilliant article on Warburg's concept of Kunstwissenschaft, pointed in this connection at Sigmund Freud who, at approximately the same time, made head- ‘way in the understanding of psychological functions by paying attention not to the mechanism of the well-adjusted but to the malfunctions of the neurotic, in much the ‘same way in which the science Physics studied the phenomenon of light by passing it through an irregular medium I should add that Warburg's singling out of the weakest link was by no means arbitrarily conducted; his selection was based on sound historical considerations. He was able to show from the archives that Prisciani himself patently favoured the weaker and therefore iconographically more obedient artists and that he did this at the expense of Francesco Cossa who, not for nothing, referred to his less gifted collaborators as “i piu tristi garzoni di Ferrara.” ‘The apparent aberration of Warburg, into the extra-aesthetic realm of astrology re- sulted in the careful elaboration of another remarkable discovery, for which he coined the term Pathosformeln Once Warburg had realized that Renaissance Man knew him- 1 Fate Sed, Wasbury's great disciple, had studied art history in Vienna under Dvollk and ia Bestia tnder Wali; with the later, 4 the exent that “in lecturing he fen fell ato the hythens of WU Iin's way of speaking”; see Gerrad Bing, “Fitz Soul (sB90-1048): A Memotr,” Fite Saat. A Volume of ‘Menjrial Essays, London, 1957, pp. 2 Well, « Gacple of Bursharats, gave Warburg interesting pointers on his master, ~F.

Heckscher revealing that he could say: “We must forever try to liberate Minerva from the fetters of Alexandria.”™ For this was also a personal, one might even say 2 therapeutical re- mark, From the end of October 1918 onward, Warburg came to identify his own being with the demonic powers of the Alexancrrian planets. Victimized by his madness, he seems to have identified himself with Kronos. By way of magic antidote he carried Pieces of chocolate in his coat-pocket to hand out to small Saturnian victims whom he night pass in the street. And yet, what so deeply affected Warburg's own psyche, charted ‘off, atthe same time, the crucial field of his iconological investigation, the field of tension between reason and un-reason, and the role it played in the genesis of the culture of the Renaissance, as exemplified by the Schifanoia program2* ‘The occasion of Warburg's Schifancia Lecture was itself an example of a new atmos- phere in scholarship which brought people and ideas together on a scale and in a spirit hitherto unknown. The Xth International Congress of Art History convened in Rome tunder the title Lfalia ¢ Arte Straniera. Its success was anything but a foregone con- clusion. It was Warburg who had been responsible not only for the ultimate success of the Congress but also for its materializing under this particular title, inspite of little initial encouragement from the other members of the action committee, the comitato permanente, Warburg's correspondence, beginning in x931 and extending in a crescendo sweep into the following yeas, testifies to the existence of endless barriers and anxieties, ranging from the threat of Cholera (1911) to menacing political developments, from individual apathy to personal acriby. The Ktalians in particular were, for various reasons, lacking in cooperative spirit. In a fit of justified anger, he referred to the Congress as an “intemational vessel with a nordic crew.” In the end, the Congress was a smashing suc- «2s. Its prime significance lay in the fact that it was the first truly international gathering of art historians and — for years to come ~ as many of those in attendance seem to have 24 Warburg used thi phrase atthe helght of his si&kness, n 2920: "Die Wiederbolebung der dimonischen Anil volaiet sid. durch eine Art polarer Funktion des einfuhlenden Bildgedichtnsres. Wir sind inn Zaltalter des Faust, wo sid der moderne Wissenschafler ~ zwishen magiecer Praktk td kosmo- Together Mathematik ~ den Denraum der Besonneneit vinden sick and dein Objet ze oringen vetsudhte, Athen vill eben immer wieder nev aus Alexandrien suriderobert sein.” See “Heidnscy- alike Weissageng ia Wort und Bild su Luthers Zeiten,” Gesaremelte Savion, Typ. 554.

Heckscher that would soon split up into national and even racial groups, Of greater significance yet in the autumn of 1912 there convened in the Minster of Basel the great International Socialist Congress — “der Weltkongress des Sozislismus zur Verhinderung des Welt- kkrieges” — on which occasion the red flags of the International were placed around the altar, while the great Jean Jaurés preached a sermon on the words “Vivos voco, mortuos plango.”#* It is not hard to look for further parallels, In the frst place Albert Einstein comes to mind, In the year 1911 he began widening out his special Theory of Relativity into a general system that deeply and lastingly affected a number of sciences and changed ‘man’s concept of the cosmos. Practical experiments in the field of Physics pointed in the same direction. In the years 19123915 Vietor Franz Hess (3883~1964), in a number of balloon ascents of up to 5,000 m., was the first to demonstrate the existence of cosmic "Garren were overcome in other fel which may seem wngelated at frst sight. The conquest of the air made rapid progress. The editio optima of Otto Lilienthal’s (d. 2896) classical study on the Flight of Birds dates from x93. With it Lilienthal as well as his tities and successors, who had made the glider into the modern power propelled air plane within the first decade of the tweentieth century, laid the foundations of the science of aviation. At this time the Germans were seriously at work perfecting plans to ‘ross the Atlantic Ocean by air. The regulation of international traffic came about as the result of a catastrophy. The spectacular sinking of the “Titanic,” on April 15, 1912, shocked the Western nations into adopting two sensible schemes: the introduction of the first intemational iceberg-control, and agreements defining east and westbound shipping- Janes 40 miles apart from one another. The chance investigation of two Tournaisean ‘razzi in the Palazzo Doria in Rome, visited by participants of the 1912 Congress, show- ced how Warburg's interest extended to the recent conquest of the air and submarine ealms.® ‘Technical improvements and adaptions sometimes appear to be straws in the wind 28 See Eenest Jones, Sigmund Freud.

Hecksduer : last three years before World War I they congealed into what in retrospect we stil Feel to have been the beginning of Modern Art ‘The achievement of independent artists helps to corroborate what have just tied to suggest in regard to the fsms. Mondrian, in about so11~aeu2, found his very own style ‘of geometric abstraction under the impact of the Paris art world. This led to what he himself called his “Conversion.” In music, Arnold Schoenberg (1874—1951), in his “Pierrot Lunaire” (1032), reached the full unfolding of his unorthedox style of “atonality with free dissonance” (he himself, characteristcaly, referred to it as Pantonalitit), the important feature of his work consisting of the introduction of a “speaking contzalto” (Spredigesang) by which he added a new dimension to musical composition.” In 2941 to -1g12, the Movies, up to then crude if delightful folk-entertainment of the music hall and peepshow petsuasion, began to be taken seriously, while artists practising in the figura- tive arts, for the first time felt the emergence of a competing art form. In 2912, Sarsh Bernhardt (aged 68) appeared in the film “Queen Elizabeth of England.” Even though, this was not an absolute primordium and although i resulted in nothing more than “an unbelievably funny film tragedy,” we now know that with this venturé the film as 42 new art form had announced its coming into being. While thus the movies went into competition with the stage, Muybridgean motion-photography had its repercussion in cone of the most exciting single ventures in serious painting, Marcel Duchamp’s jerky “Na descendant un Escalier.” While applying to a scientific analysis of progressive motion the principles evolved by the Cubists, Duchamp managed, at the same time, to announce the demise (in January 1922) of the academic nude (pl. 43.2. cf. pl. 42.1.2). 28 Amuterdam’s "Kansthring” exhibiting atthe “Stedee Museum,” admitted from 1911 onwards inter ‘national shows of important foreign artist, A.M.

(One of Warburg's handwritten drafts for the Einleitung to his Rome Lecture on the Palazzo Schifanoia frescoes contains phrases which — understandably — he decided not to use in hic formal address. Yet, to us they are revealing documentations of the emo- ional drive generated by a somewhat belligerent tendency that sustained his work (pl 44,3) Allow me to leave the one or two passages I want to cite in their original tongue: “Die bisherigen Dentungsversuche; Snobismus des Kennerschaftlchen oder der senti- ‘mental phantasierenden Minnerbrust... Unverantwortlchkeit die... durch den mangelnden Willen 2u universalgeschichtlicher ‘Verwertung des kiinstlerischen Materials zu erklacen ist...” ‘These and others of Warburp’s splendid effusions against the idiotae are scattered among his preparatory notes, filing a few hundred pieces of paper which their guardian, our deeply lamented friend Gertrud Bing, allowed me to inspect and to use. They make it clear how, from 3907 onward, Warburg inveighed against the “Simplists,” “Snobs,” *Sentimentalists” “Recreationalists” (banale Erhotungssucher), the “host of cynical camp-followers” (das Gros der cynischen Mitliufer) and above all the “Guardians of Zion” (die Zionswichter, .e. zelotic priests, by which term he understood the self-con- essed specialists in their own field). Warburg's target were the people who in those years would resent the catholic tastes of the iconclogist who refused to shut his eyes to the outright vulgar and qualitative low, Each of there sections is, needless to say, divided into limitless sub-tections, London University Issued a Brochure in 2980 which gives, on pp. 2-10, the relevant particulars.

The hhandvelten ttle of pl. 443 “Schifenoja, Einleltne” suggests that Warburg intended these sketches to go into the introduction of an anticipated publication. He had in mind to expand his lecture ~ those aze his own words prefacing the published version ~ int an “ausfuklidhe ADandlung,” dealing with the “konologache Quellenantersuchung des Teshensyius"; cf.
