Abstract
This article considers Aby Warburg’s commitment to popular art education and his role in the creation of monumental artworks in Hamburg’s public realm. It considers his exhibition of drawings by Albrecht Dürer, mounted in the Volksheim in 1905, and examines his involvement with Willy von Beckerath’s mural decoration of the School of Art and Industry between 1913 and 1918. The distinctive nature of Warburg’s pedagogical goals is emphasized, partly by comparison with those of Alfred Lichtwark, director of Hamburg’s Kunsthalle. In an environment of political and social upheaval, Warburg advocated the contemplation of art to Hamburg’s working-class poor and merchant elite as a way of ameliorating social and psychological tensions. The specific episodes discussed in the article help illuminate Warburg s ideas about the public function of artworks. They also highlight the nature of Hamburg’s cultural life as the product of middle-class associations and scholars who devoted themselves to cultural affairs.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
