Professor Max Lieberman, the noted German Jewish painter, was reelected for the fifth time President of the Berlim Academy of Art. According to the Constitution of the Academy, the reelection is not legal. The Minister of Education and Fine Arts had therefore to give a special dispensation by which, notwithstanding the rule against reelection, Professor Lieberman continues to be President of the Academy.
Before the war, the Berlin Royal Academy of Art, as it was then called, several times elected Professor Lieberman as its President, but the Kaiser always vetoed the election because of Lieberman being a Jew, and also because he disapproved of Lieberman’s impressionist tendencies in art.
On July 29th Professor Lieberman will attain his seventy-seventh birthday.
