Expelled from Vienna to a new life in the USA : "Lucie & Paul Peter Porges - Style and Humor"

June - November 2000      Jewish Museum, Vienna

Lucie Eisenstab and Paul Peter Porges met in 1945 in Geneva. Both had fled to France from Vienna in 1938, Lucie with her parents, and Paul Peter through evacuation to the children's camp at La Guette. From there he managed to reach Switzerland on his own. After the War, Lucie, who had studied fashion design, went to Paris where she immersed herself in the world of haute couture, while PPP, as Paul Peter Porges called himself, followed his parents to New York. After touring the country with a circus for several months, he was drafted into the US Army, where he published his first drawings and cartoons in military magazines.

On his return to New York his career took off : the Saturday Evening Post published his cartoons, and he also worked extensively for the cult comic Mad Magazine and the more serious magazine The New Yorker. His cartoons showed New York and the madness of daily life there. Lucie Porges, who arrived in New York in 1951 and married Paul Peter there, was artist in residence at Pauline Trigère's fashion house. She worked as a designer and, together with Pauline Trigère, helped define the company's fashions from the 1960s until the 1990s: a Viennese designing French fashions in New York.

Lucie and PPP have been married for 49 years. They have two daughters, several grandchildren and an apartment on 72nd Street in New York's Upper West Side. "Lucie & Paul Peter Porges - Style and Humor" can be seen from 31 May until 17 September 2000 at the Jewish Museum Vienna (A-1010 Vienna, Dorotheergasse 11).

Details on the Museum can be found on the Internet at www.jmw.at.

sister to Elfi, mother of Claudia and Vivette, mother-in-law to Jean Philippe and Paul,
grandmother of Kitt, Evan, Katalina, Ella, and Max.
We are so proud of her remarkable life, born in Vienna, Austria in 1926,

On May 30, 2000, Lucie Porges, together with her husband, Paul Peter,
received a noteworthy award of distinction from the Municipal Cultural Committee of Vienna.


The same evening, the Jewish Museum in Vienna launched an exhibition
entitled “Style and Humor: Lucie and Paul Peter Porges.”

It was an important and joyous event in the life of the Vienna-born fashion designer from New York.
But the prelude to the exhibition was complex and less joyous.
Only three months before its opening date, the Conservative Party had established a coalition with Jörg Haider’s Freedom Party (FPOE).
Later, in an interview in the New York Times, Lucie Porges said she had actually reached a decision to decline the invitation to the exhibition.
“At first I thought I can’t go back and be honored by the city that chased me out and killed my grandparents.
But then I thought about all the young friends we have made here, none of whom want Haider.
And I thought: Why let him ruin it for the rest of us? I feel this show is rounding out the circle.
A way of showing we have won.”
The circle rounded out by the exhibition began in 1923 in the Viennese suburb of Favoriten, where Lucie Eisenstab was born on November 23.
Her mother Jetty née Rosner (Dorna Watra [Vatra Dornei, Romania], 1898–New York, 1990) who came from Bukovina, was the daughter of a wood-merchant and had five brothers.
During World War I, the family emigrated to Vienna, where Lucie’s uncles established small businesses.
Lucie’s father, Eisig Eisenstab (Drogobych, 1886–Zürich, 1962) came from Galicia.
Until 1935 he was engaged in the Viennese textile trade.
“My father’s parents were very religious. My granddad was always going to the synagogue and my grandma wore a shaytl (wig).
We used to go there on Sundays and I was always bored stiff.
It was there that I started drawing fashion pictures.
Women with small dogs, viewed from the front, the feet turned sideways, like the Egyptians.
I knew nothing of perspective but I was already drawing clothes.
My grandparents had nice paper, usually invitation cards that they gave me so that I could play and pass the time. The paper gave me inspiration.”
In 1938, Lucie, together with her parents and her sister Elfi, who was four years her junior, were driven out of their home in Vienna–Favoriten.
Her father was arrested following Kristallnacht.
When he was released a few weeks later, the family fled, without visas, via Cologne to Brussels.
Later stations on their flight were the south of France, the internment camp at Brens, and Lyon.
At the end of 1942 the Eisenstabs succeeded in escaping to Switzerland.
With the end of the war in 1945 Lucie entered the École des Beaux Arts in Geneva, where she devoted herself primarily to drawing.
Here she also met her future husband, Paul Peter Porges, who emigrated to the U.S. in 1947.
In 1948, Lucie moved to Paris, where she worked for a number of Parisian couturiers, including Maggy Rouff, and learnt the basic skills of haute couture.
At the same time, she was drawing for the magazine L’Art et La Mode and there established contact with all the major fashion houses in Paris.
In 1951 she left the city of her dreams for New York, since her fiancé Paul Peter Porges had been drafted into the U.S. army for the war in Korea and could therefore no longer travel to Europe.
“America came as a shock to me. New York was a sea of buildings. Everything was cold, huge, hideous and loud.”
Lucie and Paul Peter married in June 1951 in New York City and Lucie introduced herself to Pauline Trigère, “the New York fashion queen with a French touch,” from whom she received her first commission as a designer.
“Trigère was a real maison de couture.
Practically every year we traveled to Europe to buy fabric in Paris.
I did the sketches, but I also organized shows, booked models, chose photographers.”
In 1956, Lucie gave birth to her oldest daughter, Claudia.
Before the birth of her second daughter Vivette in 1959, she and her husband visited Vienna for the first time since they had been forced to leave.
Lucie continued to work after the birth of her daughter, developing an equal partnership with Pauline Trigère.
While Lucie, in the role of artist in residence and fashion designer, put initial ideas on paper, Pauline preferred to work directly with material on a model.
Lucie Porges and Pauline Trigère also complemented each other in their concepts of fashion: Trigère specialized in sumptuously luxurious evening dresses, while Lucie went in for everyday wear of relaxed elegance.
At the beginning of the 1980s, as a result of several of her exciting designs, the New York fashion scene “discovered” Lucie Porges independently of her partnership in the Trigère house of fashion.
In 1982 the New York Times prominently featured an orange coat she had designed in its Fashion supplement, terming it “The Dashing Coat.”
In 1994 the aging Pauline Trigère closed her fashion house.
Lucie Porges continued to design, while also imparting her immense knowledge in the Fashion Department of the New School for Social Research.
In 1998, Lucie and Paul Peter, who had a long career as a cartoonist for the New Yorker, began collaborating on a joint exhibition at the Jewish Museum in Vienna, entitled “Style and Humor.”
Despite Jörg Haider’s election success, the artists went to Vienna and were lauded by the Viennese press.
A year later, the exhibition transferred to New York.
Here political events once again impacted on the opening celebration, which was to have taken place on September 11, 2001 at the Hebrew Union College.
In fact, it took place on November 23.

Style and Humor
An exhibition about Lucie and Paul Peter Porges
Hebrew Union College - Museum - Brookdale Center, One West 4th Street, New York, NY 10012
September 13, 2001 - June 28, 2002

In 1938, two 12-year-old Jewish children's lives were changed forever : Lucie Eisenstab fled with her parents and sister from Vienna through Belgium and France ; Paul Peter Porges was evacuated from Vienna with other children to the La Guette refugee camp in France, and made his own way across France.
Both reached safety in Switzerland, where they first met at the Academy of Art in Geneva in 1945, and later settled in New York, where they married in 1951.
They embarked on extraordinary careers :
Lucie as the artist-in-residence and principal fashion designer at Pauline Trigere for four decades;
PPP as the popular cartoonist whose work appeared regularly in The New Yorker, Mad Magazine, and The Saturday Evening Post.
From the high style of fashion to the irreverent humor of cartooning, their lives and careers affirm the essence of Jewish creativity and vitality.
Their unique accomplishments challenge us to ponder the infinite potential of the 1.5 million Jewish children of the Porges's generation who did not survive the Holocaust.

Erzeugt in Österreichs
Bewährt in aller Welt!

Die M-P-Beiwagen werden seit dem Jahre 1920 in dem größten Beiwagenwerk Osterreichs, den M-P-Beiwagen-Werken erzeugt. Sämtliche Arbeitsgänge werden in u n s e r e n Spezial-Werkstätten von jahrelang erprobten Spezialarbeitern ausgeführt. Da die ganze Erzeugung unter genauer fachmännischer Aufsicht steht und nur die besten Materialien verwendet werden, ist die Gewähr dafür vorhanden, daß jeder M-P-Beiwagen das Vollkommenste ist, was auf diesem Gebiet geschaffen werden kann.
Unser Augenmerk ist stets darauf gerichtet, Fahrzeuge einfacher, aber unübertrefflicher Konstruktion zu schaffen, deren Wartung auf ein Minimum beschränkt ist. Die beweglichen Teile sind in Gummi gelagert, daher ist ein Ausschlagen unmöglich und keine Schmierung erforderlich. Bei allen Typen werden die geräuschlosen Gummigleiter (patentiert) verwendet. Sämtliche Typen sind mit idealen Langfedern und Steckachsen versehen und gewähren ein sehr angenehmes Fahren. Die Räder laufen bei allen Typen in stahlgepreßten Naben (patentiert) auf reichlich dimensionierten F und 5-Kugellagern, starken Steckachsen, die ein bequemes Auf- und Abmontieren des Rades mit einem Handgriff ermöglichen und jede Sicherheit gewähren. Die Räder werden gleich denen an der Maschine geliefert. Jeder Beiwagen kann mit einer reichlich dimensionierten lnnnenhackenbremse versehen werden. Alle Beiwagen werden mit vier universell ausgebildeten stahlgepreßten Bindungen angeschlossen.
Die Karosserien sind aus Ganzmetall und in den Formen, Farben und Polsterungen so mannigfaltig, daß jedem Geschmack sowie Spezialwünschen entsprochen werden kann. Bei jeder Karosserie ist ein geräumiger, versperrbarer Gepäcksraum, eine wasserdichte Regendecke und eine Fußmatte. Jede Karosserie kann mit einem runden oder einem Allwetterwindschutz versehen werden.
Als Vervollkommnung wurde das patentierte M-P-Schwingachs-Aggregat geschaffen. Die MP-Beiwagen werden überall dort, wo es auf solide und dauerhafte Konstruktion ankommt (zum Beispiel auch beim Militär und der Polizei vieler Länder) verwendet und haben die Führung unter allen Beiwagen der Welt errungen.
Herr Ing. Porges, der Gründer und Chef der Fabrik, hat durch Auswertung seiner reichen Erfahrungen in der Beiwagenerzeugung bahnbrechend gewirkt und dadurch auch zur Wertschätzung österreichischer Fabrikate im Ausland in reichem Maße beigetragen.
