He began his time in Paris studying at the Academie Julian and recorded his studies and meetings with other art students and artists, including setting up a studio with two friends; his social activities (teas, dinners, dancing, music and theater performances, including a night at the Folies Bergere); bicycling in the Bois de Boulogne; reading Marcus Aurelius; etc. They arranged to have William Turner Dannat critique their work. Important world events on which Lichtenauer offered many comments were the Dreyfus affair, Emile Zola's publication of the letter \"J'Accuse\" and his subsequent trial; and the deterioration of relations between the U.S. and Spain after the U.S.S. Maine blew up in Havana Harbor./nLichtenauer, Jr. was an artist. He was born in New York in 1876, the son of Rebecca Deutsch and Joseph M. Lichtenauer, an investment advisor. The budding artist studied at the Art Students League of New York City and at the Academie Julian in Paris. As an artist, he was based in New York City. He was a member of the National Society of Mural Painters and the Salmagundi Club. He received several art awards; his works are owned by the Metropolitan Museum, the Smithsonian, the Brooklyn Museum, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He painted decorations in the Schubert Theater in New York./nMounted on the title page of the diary is a photograph of Lichtenauer with his friends August Gerdes and Arthur Freedlander; the three shared a studio together."},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1897 - D:00 M:00 Y:1898"},{"label":"Creator","value":"Joseph Mortimer Lichtenauer, Jr. (1876-1966)"},{"label":"Place","value":"Paris, France"},{"label":"Format","value":["Manuscript"]},{"label":"Subjects","value":["Diaries","Artists-Diaries","Artists-France-Paris","Dreyfus Affair"]},{"label":"Identifier","value":"Document 1776\n2018x068"},{"label":"Rights","value":["No Copyright - United States"]},{"label":"Source Collection","value":["Mortimer J.

Wrote  to Gus Calman who is now in Switzerland   for his health.   - Oct. 29th   Read a little ^part^ of the “Meditations of Marcus  Aurelius” before going out this morning; the first  chapter when he tells of the good qualities he   derived from his parents and friends.  It deeply   impressed and greatly refreshed me, this noble  and dignified thought clothed in the most log-  ical language, simple and direct.  Where Antonius  ^describes^ [mentions - crossed out] the character of his father I found  one passage which struck me as being well  worth never forgetting: “he was a man who  looked to what ought to be done, not to the  reputation which is got by a man’s acts.”   Mother, how little I appreciate her, has written   me three times within the week.  The good soul  is evidently worrying about me alone in Paris;  and this because I am an only son.  An only  son!

To think that the man   left New York to be treated in Davos and now back again   home must he go.  If I read rightly between lines Gustaves   throat trouble has taken a sudden dark turn and for  that reason he prefers to be with his family.  It is so  piteous to see a young man – 35 probably – a good, loving  husband, the very kindest of friends, with a heart for  everybody especially the poor and needy, energetic and   intelligent slowly lose his confidence knowing that he   is a lost man.  If there were only something to do for  him, but a mere waving of the arms is all we ^on shore^ can do  for this drowning and dear comrade of ours.  If all, this  is too dark an aspect of his case – [I hardly dare to - crossed out] hope it is so.   The other letter came from Dannat whom I wrote to more  than a week ago asking him if it would be possible for  Friedlander, Gerdes and me to get a criticism ^on our work^ from him   once a month or so.  He asks me to bring them and our work  around ^to his studio^ on Sunday next when he will talk with us  concerning our new plans.  This letter I was especially  pleased to receive as we had actually thought Dannat was   acting the snob in not answering me before.

A long  letter, poorly and laboriously written to Rosa Davidson, this because I tried to make   it an interesting one; a letter to Edith, one to mother and father, one to Win and Alice.  December 6th  We started work at our studio this morning; a young italian boy  is posing.

Which news stung me to the quick; I know  of no enemy, therefore it is the old prejudice that caused this.  And this  fact riles me exceedingly; not liking the shabbiness of the club I in-   tended withdrawing my name long ago but was otherwise persuaded.

Monsieur L. mentioned some-   thing about “sy^m^pathy mutual” and then went and spoiled it by   adding “something which exists seldom, and then only between man   and woman, never between people of the same sex”, which gave   Monsieur L. “dead away” for I imagine he ^was^ talking from experience being   a good looking chap.

A dark day; and ^myself^ irritable the   whole of it.

Thus ends one of the most widely discussed and intensely  complicated criminal cases on record.  And how it has ended!  High officials are evidently involved in the affair or why was  Esterhazy – one of them – acquitted, whose handwriting is that of  the famous bordereau (conveniently and lately declared a   counterfeit) while Dreyfus has been conficted because of   the judgement of three out of five experts who thought – several   years back when the trial began – Dreyfus’s handwriting and  that of the bordereau were identical.  But if the bordereau is  counterfeit for Esterhazy is it otherwise for Dreyfus?  Oh – is   the Esterhazy argument – Dreyfus was not convicted on the  bordereau alone, there were other things.  But these other   things – except ridiculously unimportant trifles – have ever re-   mained a mystery as – unfortunate to relate – the whole affair  is dommed to remain; and a nail has been driven into the   coffin of non-jewish prejudice which was at one time  so alive in France.

As for the Dreyfus case, the  student demonstrations in favor of the army and against  the jews, Zola and Sheurer-Kestner have been almost  violent within the last week; they gather together in   the side streets, suddenly become a perfect army   (in several cases the police have been unable to handle  them) and stand either before the Senate House, or  Zola’s home or infront of a “semiticly” inclined news-   paper office and shout “Long live the army!” “Death   to the jews!”  How deplorable is all this!  Yet the  wise, and there are many in great Paris, can only   believe Zola at any rate partly in the right; it is   only a fool and a stupid one, or a wild erratic french   student who could believe – after all the late mys-   terious, closed-doored counsels-of-war – the army to  be acting justly in this matter.
