“In one of his few statements, published in 1927, Dix declared, The object is primary and the form is shaped by the object.” WTF Otto? Maybe that makes more sense in German.
I have read that "matter-of-factness" is a better translation for Sachlichkeit than "objectivity."
"The matter-of-factness/resignation/sobriety/dispassion is primary and the form is shaped by matter-of-factness/resignation/sobriety/dispassion.” Still doesn’t help.
Meanwhile...If I google “William Mayer-Hermann” (he changed his first name when he emigrated), I don’t get any more pictures, but he turns up in the 1940 New York census: https://www.ancestry.com/1940-census/usa/New-York/William-Mayerhermann_d2g6v The page seems to think Ilse was Wilhelm’s wife, but it seems likelier from the last name and their ages that she was married to Kurt. (Ooh, maybe they were a menage-a-trois)? Hang on, this seems to be the same Ilse – she seems to have been married to someone named Hersch Feldschuh /Henry Herman Field (1897-1945), except he was in Chicago at the time of the 1940 census; he died in 1945 and she later married someone named Herbert Wolff. She died in 1993 in Chicago, so I’m guessing she’d moved out there at some point to join Hersch and stayed. http://www.frf.com/family/individual.php?pid=I903&ged=tree1 I can’t find any reference to a Kurt – Ilse had a half-brother, but according to this he was only 16 at the time of the 1940 census and *he* was in Chicago at the time (with his brother-in-law?) http://www.frf.com/family/individual.php?pid=I906&ged=tree1

So who the hell was Kurt?
