About the Item

Exiles and Imigrés, the flight of European Artists from Hitler. New York: Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 1997. First Edition softcover. 432pp. A catalogue published in conjunction with a traveling exhibition that opened in 1997 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The show was devoted to the time period of twelve years of National Socialist rule in Germany, from 1933-1945. The rise of the Nazis caused an unprecedented forced migration of hundreds of artists within and ultimately away from Europe. This is the first book to trace the lives and work of 23 well-known painters, sculptors, photographers, and architects exiled from their homelands. Artists, such as Kandinsky, Beckmann, Heartfield, Schwitters, and Kokoschka, sought refuge in Paris, London, or Amsterdam. Others, including Léger, Ernst, Chagall, Gropius, and Mies van der Rohe, who fled to the United States. Essays by 19 prominent American and European art historians discuss all aspects of the artist in exile, from studies of individual figures to an analysis of the French artistic community in New York. More than 300 illustrations, including many historical photographs, provide a visual documentation of the time. An illustrated chronology details key cultural and political events.
