Description:
The period just before World War I through the beginnings of World War II was one of the most explosive in history--and art was at war as well. Art and Journals on the Political Front: 1920-1940, a fascinating collection of essays and artwork, shows the many faces of that parallel war, the war of images, from the United States's and Mexico's graphic leftists to the propagandist art that promoted communism and fascism in Russia, Italy, and Germany. The essay "Picture as Weapon in the German Mass Media, 1914-1930" both explains and depicts the passionate socialist attack on the bourgeois and the satirizing of political figures such as Kaiser Wilhelm and Trotsky, among other media weapons. "Political Practice and the Arts in Spain" catalogs the major political shifts that occurred leading up to the Spanish Civil War, including the verbal and visual rhetoric--often directed toward the illiterate Spanish working class--between rightist magazine Arriba and leftists Octubre and Nueva Cultura. Virginia Hagelstein Marquardt presents a new multicultural outlook on the questions of discontent that fed two global wars.
