"This book examines the confrontational war pictures of Otto Dix (1891-1969) and explores their role in shaping the memory of World War I in Germany during the years 1914-36. Dix's thirty-eight months on the World War I battlefields profoundly influencedhis post-war artistic career, saw him produce some of the most enduring images of the conflict and establish himself as one of Europe's leading modernists. Offering substantial new research and presenting numerous primary sources to an English readershipfor the first time, the book examines Dix's war pictures within the broader visual culture of war in order to assess how they functioned alternatively as cutting-edge modernist art and transgressive war commemoration. Each chapter provides a case study of the first public display of one or more of Dix's war pictures at key exhibitions and explores how their reception was subjected to changing socio-political and cultural conditions as well as divergent attitudes to the lost war. Bringing a unique perspective and original scholarship to Dix's war works, Otto Dix and the Memorialization of World War I in German Visual Culture, 1914-36 is essential reading for art historians of the First World War and the visual culture of Weimar Germany"--

Recenzijas

Based on an impressive collection of archival material, this study explores critical responses to Dix's work, including National Socialist views and post-war memorialisation. * Nina Lübbren, Associate Professor in Art History and Film, Anglia Ruskin University, UK * Murrays deeply researched analysis reveals Dix as a trenchant critic of Weimar-era and wartime Germany. Paying close attention to the artists critical reception, Murray demonstrates Dixs profound engagement with the politics of war commemoration and the memory of trauma. * Matthew Biro, Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art, University of Michigan, USA *
