. Schranz Family (original) (raw)
1987, “The Lure of the Orient – The Schranzes, the Brockdorffs, Preziosi and other artists” in Hyphen, Vol.5 , No. 3
This study deals with the Schranz group of family artists active in the first half of the 19th century - who originated in Baden-Wurtenburg but were attracted to the Mediterranean with the father moving from Italy to Minorca, reaching Malta in 1817. His children - including three painters of outstanding abilities - inherited their father's wanderlust and eventually made an exotic career of their own in Malta, the Aegean area and Constantiople, travelling further all over the Near East and Eygpt.

Two Generations of Maltese Artistic Families - Volume 2
Two Generations of Maltese Artistic Families is a three-year project being undertaken by APS Bank throughout 2014-2016 recording and evaluating the contribution of six pairs of Maltese artists while eliciting inter-relationships between their milieus and their sensitivity in their respective artistic works. This initiative, which consists of a yearly publication and respective exhibition, reflects the Bank’s raison d’être, that is to complement activities carried out by other entities and bring together a collective effort of ideas by forerunners in the cultural field. Volume 1 is the first of three publications in accompaniment APS Bank’s series of Art Exhibitions, each of which feature two generations of artists. Edited by senior lecturer, art critic and curator Profs. Louis Laganà, this volume particularly celebrates the achievements of seminal artists Aldo Micallef-Grimaud and his daughter Nadine Micallef-Grimaud as well as Antoine Camilleri and his son Antoine Paul Camilleri. Volume 2 is the second in the series which celebrates the achievements of illustrious artists George Fenech and his son Gilbert Fenech as well as Joseph L. Mallia and his daughter Henriette C. Mallia. The exceptionally-written essays and psychoanalytic analysis in these books give a clear picture of how the Maltese Art Scene has changed from the 20th century onwards, especially with the emergence of more dynamic artistic tendencies.
