"An interesting theoretical analysis of German art. Its sources and documentation are abundant. Chametzky's knowledge of German art is impressive."--German Studies Review

"Recommended."--Choice "Reading Peter Chametzky's book feels like receiving a gift: his contextual analyses of German art objects are mobile, generous, and erudite; well-written stories of how the objects' meanings changed and continue to change in the turmoil of history. In addition, selections of the text comprise a fascinating cultural history of alterity told not as a story of Jewish deaths but as one of complex Jewish lives and their significant impact on modern and contemporary Germany's cultural trajectories. Highly recommended and engrossing to read."--Maud Lavin, author of Push Comes to Shove: New Images of Aggressive Women (MIT, 2010) and Cut with the Kitchen Knife: the Weimar Photomontages of Hannah Hӧch (Yale, 1993), Professor, Visual and Critical Studies in Art History, Theory and Criticism, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago
"In this wide-ranging and remarkable book, Peter Chametzky attends to some of the most important German artists of the twentieth century, all of whom were in one way or another deeply affected by war. Richly researched and full of fresh insights about both canonical and little-known drawings, photomontages, sculpture, and paintings, it exponentially expands our knowledge of the artists who made them. By examining the work in multiple contexts, often in tandem with other media like photography and film, it also reminds us time and again that all art objects are embedded in and thus defined and redefined by an ever-changing present. Theoretically sophisticated yet beautifully written in jargon-free prose, this major contribution to cultural history is, quite simply, a must-read not just for those interested in Germany's conflicted twentieth-century, but, also and more generally, for anyone concerned with how art objects mean."--Maria Makela, California College of the Arts MORE EBOOKS:
