Manchester, United Kingdom: Manchester University Press, 2000. 242pp. The visual arts in Germany 1890-1937: Utopia and despair. This book provides an introduction to the visual arts in Germany from the early years of German unification until the beginning of the Second World War. It is not a survey of artists and movements but an analysis of painting, sculpture, graphic art, design, film and photography in relation to a wider set of cultural and social issues that were specific to German modernism. The study concentrates on the ways in which the production and reception of art interacted with, and was affected by, responses to unification, conflict between left and right political factions, gender concerns, contemporary philosophical and religious ideas, the growth of cities and the increasing importance of mass culture.. Paperback. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
