Product details
Memories of the murder of the Jews by the National Socialists are linked with photographs and film strips. Until the 1960s, West Germany celebrated abstract art, rehabilitated degenerate art, and East
Germany promoted the development of Socialist Realism; on both sides of the Iron Curtain, little attention was paid to images of the genocide of the Jews. In this volume, 160 works by 42 artists are commented on, which were nevertheless created and intervened in the politics of remembrance of the post-war period in the confrontation with photography. The fact that this study of artistic reflections with brush, pencil, and everyday remnants of the murder of the Jews is only now appearing may be due to the primacy of photographs for memory, but it also raises the question of the quality of art from a fundamental point of view.
