Summary/Abstract: The philologist and art critic Richard Meszleny/Messer (1881–1962) showed his familiarity with Masaryk’s work for the first time (as far as we know) at the end of 1919 in connection with his interpretation of Rilke. He later mentions Masaryk as one of the key figures representing the heights of Czech culture in the September 1924 issue of the magazine Die Wahrheit, and in the following years he would repeatedly return to artistic portraits of Masaryk as the basis for interpreting his personality.
