Revision 7870118 of "Detlef Lorenz" on simplewiki'''Detlef Lorenz''' (6 December 1938 in {{Ill|Jelenia Góra|en}} – 4 February 2019 in Berlin) was a German cultural history [[research]]er and author.
== Life ==
Lorenz studied [[art history]] and [[journalism]] at the [[Free University of Berlin]]. In his research and publications, he first dealt with the history of [[advertising]], especially with old collector's pictures and the artists who designed such pictures; the result is the monograph ''Reklamekunst um 1900''<ref>[https://www.worldcat.org/title/reklamekunst-um-1900-kunstlerlexikon-fur-sammelbilder/oclc/231864378&referer=brief_results ''Reklamekunst um 1900 Künstlerlexikon für Sammelbilder''] on WorldCat</ref>. In collaboration with the {{Ill|Museum Europäischer Kulturen|en}} in Berlin, he developed [[exhibition]]s on this subject. This led to extensive research on lesser-known or forgotten visual artists, especially of the first half of the 20th century. This include Jewish artists (for example David Friedmann) or artists from the circle of {{Ill|Gerhart Hauptmann|en}} ({{Ill|Josef Block|en}}, [[Johannes Maximilian Avenarius]]). His best-known work is ''Künstlerspuren in Berlin'' (Artists' Traces in Berlin), a complete overview of creative and memorial places of visual artists in Berlin from the [[Baroque]] period to the present day. Lorenz was a contributor to the {{Ill|Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon|en}} and [[editor]] of the annual conference proceedings of the {{Ill|Arbeitskreis Bild Druck Papier|de}}.<ref>{{Ill|Konrad Vanja|en}}: Laudatio im Tagungsband Hagenow 2008 (Arbeitskreis Bild Druck Papier, vol. 13) Münster: {{Ill|Waxmann Verlag|en}}, 2009, {{pp.|263|267}}</ref> He was still able to complete his last book project on ''Pressezeichner und Presse-Illustrationen im Berlin der Weimarer Republik'', but died shortly before the publication appeared.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.lukasverlag.com/termine/veranstaltung/279--buchvorstellung-bilder-in-der-presse-von-detlef-lorenz.html |title=Buchvorstellung ''Bilder in der Presse'' von Detlef Lorenz – Lukas Verlag für Kunst- und Geistesgeschichte |access-date=9 November 2021}}</ref>
