Numismatist and nephew of Franz Ignaz von Streber, born at Deutenkofen, Lower Bavaria, 26 Feb., 1805; died at Munich, 21 Nov. 1864.

 190-Jahre
During the coming decades, the Munich Academy must not only maintain its rank as one of the best German art schools in the face of competition from its traditional peer, the Düsseldorf Academy, but is also challenged by the art schools in the new Federal capital, Berlin.
Unlike the initial period of the Academy, when levels of qualifications to be attained, basing the system on the class means that a student stays with one group of students, lead by one artist, during his or her entire period of study.
The mounted figures at the Munich Academy have not only inspired a famous alumnus, Giorgio de Chirico; they are also a notorious target for students’ practical jokes and even for sinister ones, which are not at all good for their bronze coverings.

 SpielbergFilms.com - Munich
While the Munich terror was seen and felt around the world, the intensely secret aftermath of the event has remained largely unknown.
Now, from director Steven Spielberg comes "Munich," a gripping thriller based on the events of Munich 1972 and the highly charged mission of retribution that followed—by the covert hit squad known to Israeli intelligence as “Operation Wrath of God,” one of the boldest and most aggressive assassination plots in modern history.
Torn between their desire for justice and their own growing doubts, the mission begins to tear at the souls of Avner and his team, and it becomes increasingly clear that the longer they remain on the hunt, the more they are in danger of becoming the hunted.

The Summer Academy works towards this purpose by giving a small number of outstanding PhD candidates from all over the world a platform to present and discuss their research with peers and high level scientists.
The academy is designed to be interdisciplinary in order to overcome the limits of approaching social vulnerability from the confines of one academic discipline.

 Oscar Beat by Steve Pond - The Envelope
Once again, the academy's preferential voting system threw a few wrinkles into the results — and once again "Munich" was the big beneficiary, though its jump was not quite as dramatic this time around.
One effect was the same with both the smaller and larger sample: "Munich" did better than its cumulative numbers would suggest, jumping from eighth place on the critics' list to fifth under the preferential system.
Academy voters are more representative of what the public likes....not critics.

It’s enjoyed solid critical praise (excepting those “critics” who have lambasted the film not on its own merits, but based on their own political agendas), a maelstrom in the press over its supposed political and social leanings, and in between it all, a tough-go getting audiences into theaters.
When it’s all said and done, box-office and awards for the film won’t mean a thing if audiences are able to connect with the film, and if the film is able to help audiences connect with one another to discuss the film’s subject matter.

 Munich and the Accademy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
            As beautiful a film as Munich was, it was also much weaker at the core than the other films, relying too heavily on the original story line when it could have done so much more.
            Munich for all of its high profile performances is still part of the past, depicting scenes that seem less relevant to our society as a whole.
Munich’s message about whether we should murder people in the pursuit of justice gets lost in the public’s acceptance of secret prisons and torture of prisoners, and American hit squads seeking similar targets throughout the world.

 Robert Koehler: Artist in Milwaukee, essay by Peter C. Merrill
Matriculation records indicate that Koehler was enrolled at the Munich Academy on October 15, 1873.
Duveneck's periods of residence in Munich do not generally coincide with Koehler's, though it is possible that the two artists might have met there in 1873 or 1879.
The record of Koehler's matriculation at the Munich Academy takes note of the fact that his father was a free-thinker.

While teaching in Munich and the neighboring countryside around Polling, Bavaria, Duveneck attracted a talented group of American students known as "The Duveneck Boys," through his thorough understanding of the Munich technique and his congenial personality.
After leaving Munich, Duveneck established his own school in Florence at the urging of his student, Elizabeth Boott, whose family lived there.

Chase's early paintings, executed in dark tonalities, reflected his training in Munich; his later paintings, most notably scenes of Shinnecock, Long Island, were painted with a lightened palette, reflecting the influence of French Impressionism.
In 1872, Chase began attendance at the Royal Academy in Munich, where he remained six years and acquired the flashy old-master style with dark palette and virtuoso brushwork, which characterized that popular academy.
In 1881 the Belgian painter Alfred Stevens encouraged Chase to abandon the bravura old-master technique he had acquired in Munich and to experiment with a modified impressionist style by lightening his palette and enlivening his picture surface with looser, more painterly brushwork.
