{"value"=>"<p>Otto Kallir (1894-1978) was an Austrian-American art collector and historian who specialized in German Expressionism. Founder of the original Neue Galerie in Vienna, Kallir championed the artist Egon Schiele and other Austrian modernist painters. After the Nazi Anschluss in 1938, Kallir and his family fled Austria to New York City, where he founded the Galerie St. Etienne the following year. Kallir was a significant figure in introducing Schiele and Gustav Klimt to the American art market. By the 1960s, Kallir was still very involved in the art world and used his influence to represent the painter Anna Mary Robertson (\"Grandma\") Moses.</p>"}

{"value"=>"<p>The Otto Kallir photographs contain black and white prints of various locations in the United States taken in the 1940s by Otto Kallir. While Kallir is primarily known for his work as an art historian and gallerist, this collection contains his own work as a photographer, shortly after he immigrated to the United States.</p> <p>Most pictures are of the American South, including South Carolina and Florida. There are also some photographs of Washington, DC; Lake Placid, New York; New York City; and an unidentified forest fire. The majority of images are architectural or nature shots, and there is one series of portraits of a young South Carolinan boy in a boat.</p> <p>Some photographs are signed by Kallir and indicate a submission to <span class=\"title\">U.S. Camera Annual</span> in 1943.</p>"}
