German Art - from Beckmann to Richter

This survey of German art between 1945 and 1990 compares how art mirrored the different political circumstances in the two German states during the period. The book looks at how German artists responded to the Nazi dictatorship, the Holocaust, the world war, and other political developments, and shows that the dividing line between East and West was less strict than has been imagined. 200 color and 100 b&w illustrations .
