Beskrivelse

Since the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps and recognition of the Holocaust as a watershed event of the twentieth century, if not in Western Civilization itself, the capacity of art to represent this event adequately has been questioned. Contributors provide case studies that include a broad spectrum of artists from North America, Europe and Israel, and examine some of the dominant themes of their work. Contents include: "Picturing Death: Better This than Silence," Robert Poor

"Probing the Limits of the Politics of Representation," Jeremy Varon

"After Auschwitz: Art and the Holocaust Six Decades Later," Monica Bohm-Duchen

"Jewish Artists in New York: The 1940s," Matthew Baigell

"From the Sublime to the Abject: Art and the Holocaust Six Decades Later," Andrew Weinstein

"R.B. Kitaj's 'Good Bad' Diasporism and the Body in American Jewish Postmodern Art," Sander Gilman

"Bak's Variations on a Theme by Bak," Lawrence Langer

"Toward a Post-Holocaust Theology in Art: The Search for the Absent and Present God," Stephen Feinstein

"How to Remember," Nancy Weston

"Disaster Art: A Plea Against the Peripheral Stuff," Pier Marton

"Conversations with Rzeszow: An Artist's Journey," Joyce Lyon

"Haunting the Empty Place," Ziva Amishai-Maisels
