The collection principally documents the work and professional relationships of the art historian Walter Friedlaender. To a smaller extent, it also allows a glance at his personal life and the events occurring in Nazi Germany
Walter Friedlaenders professional life is evidenced in all series in this collection. Series I: Personal includes a biographical article on an honorary title bestowed on Friedlaender by the University of Freiburg (Ehrensenator). Series II holds correspondence from his colleagues and students. Some of these letters discuss others opinions on topics in Friedlaenders area of study, although many simply mention professional events and occurrences. Among the letters are several from his colleague and former student Erwin Panofsky, covering a range of more than two decades. Correspondence written for Friedlaender on his significant birthdays praises his work and includes poems written for him by other professionals. Daily calendars are contained in Series III, and these often list meetings and planned work as well as occasionally including notes that may have been used for talks or lectures. More detailed notes used for lectures as well as drafts of writing and will be found in Series IV, which holds the bulk of material pertaining to Friedlaenders professional work. This series also includes copies of Friedlaenders early work in the field, especially his reviews of art exhibits. Files of representations of artwork that Friedlaender may have used in teaching or writing will also be found in Series IV. Changes in Germany in his field are documented among the newspaper clippings found in Series V
This collection only holds a small amount of papers dedicated to the personal life of Walter Friedlaender. Much of the correspondence from colleagues in Series II discusses such personal topics as his health and visits he planned, as well as information on colleagues they had in common. Series I includes photographs not only of Friedlaender himself, but also of unidentified individuals, who may be family members or friends. Personal appointments and activities are also revealed in the daily calendars of Series III
Walter Ferdinand Friedlaender was born in 1873 in Glogau, now Glogow, Poland, the son of Sigismund Friedlaender and Anna Joachimsthal. His parents died while he was young, and at thirteen he went to live with an older sister in Berlin. He attended the University of Berlin, and received his doctorate in Sanskrit in 1898; his dissertation, a translation with annotations of a portion of the Mahabarata, was published two years later. Shortly thereafter he went to London to study at the British Museum on a post-doctoral fellowship. While there, he visited the National Gallery where he developed an interest in art history
After returning to Berlin, Friedlaender studied art history under Heinrich Wölfflin although he was unable to pursue a second doctorate in the field of art history. In 1904 his reviews of art exhibitions began to be published, sometimes under the name Friedrich Walter. In 1912 Friedlaender wrote a book on the frescoes of Federico Barocci, and in 1914 his book Nicolas Poussin was published. That same year he married Emma Cardin and became a Privatdozent at the University of Freiburgs recently founded art history department, headed by Wilhelm Vöge. Friedlaender would stay at the university until he left Germany in 1933. His research and teaching there largely focused on the work of Nicolas Poussin as well as the artists presently often referred to as the mannerists; Friedlaender termed them anti-classicists. Among Friedlaenders students was Erwin Panofsky. Several of his lectures from this time period were published by the Warburg Institute in 1925 and 1930
Walter Friedlaender was dismissed from his university position in 1933, just prior to his retirement, because of his Jewish heritage. With the aid of his former student, Erwin Panofsky, he was able to procure a temporary position at the University of Pennsylvania and then a permanent position at New York Universitys Insitute of Fine Arts. In 1943 Friedlaender and his wife separated. Walter Friedlaenders lectures at the Insitute primarily focused on the same areas of the field he had spent his life studying, and he kept this position until his death in 1966. Several of his earlier German works were published in translation by his students
