Sažetak
Tilla Durieux (Vienna, August 18, 1880 – Berlin, July 21, 1971) was one of the most famous German actresses in the 20th century. In 1938, in order to escape Nazi persecution of the Jews, she and her husband Ludwig Katzenellenbogen arrived in Zagreb, where she lived until 1952. They rented an apartment in the Lubienski family villa at 27 Jurjevska Street, in which she stored her art collection. After returning to Germany, her artworks remained in Zagreb for decades, until the early 1980s. This paper aims to show which of Max Slevogt’s works were part of Tilla Durieux’s Zagreb collection and to describe the division and unfortunate disappearance of part of this valuable collection. Records of legal proceedings related to Tilla Durieux’s estate and preserved photo documentation show that the collection comprised at least three paintings by Slevogt in addition to her portrait painted in 1907, which is housed in the Zagreb City Museum today. These paintings were the watercolour titled Interieur (undated, probably a stage-set draft), the watercolour drawing Scene from Die Spielereien einer Kaiserin, a play Featuring Tilla Durieux as Catherine I (1911) and an oil on canvas titled Tilla Durieux as Wife of Potiphar in Richard Strauss’s “Josefslegende“ from 1921, which is today part of the holdings of the Landesmuseum in Mainz.
