2006108987New York and New Haven CT: Metropolitan Museum of Art; Yale University Press 2006. Cloth xii 292 pages illustrations some colour; 29 cm. Published in conjunction with the exhibition organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Art New York held November 14 2006 to February 16 2007. Firm binding clean inside copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. OVERSIZE! Additional shipping charges may be requested for international & priority orders. A large-format coffee-table book. Richly illustrated with colour plates. "In the 1920s Germany was in the grip of social and political turmoil: its citizens were disillusioned by defeat in World War I the failure of revolution the disintegration of their social system and inflation of rampant proportions. Curiously as this important book shows these years of upheaval were also a time of creative ferment and innovative accomplishment in literature theater film and art. Glitter and Doom is the first publication to focus exclusively on portraits dating from the short-lived Weimar Republic. It features forty paintings and sixty drawings by key artists including Otto Dix Max Beckmann and George Grosz. Their works epitomize Neue Sachlichkeit New Objectivity in particular the branch of that new form of realism called Verism which took as its subject contemporary phenomena such as war social problems and moral decay. Subjects of their incisive portraits are the artists own contemporaries: actors poets prostitutes and profiteers as well as doctors lawyers businessmen and other respectable citizens. The accompanying texts reveal how these portraits hold up a mirror to the glittering vital doomed society that was obliterated when Hitler came to power. / Sabine Rewald is Jacques and Natasha Gelman Curator in the Department of 19th-Century Modern and Contemporary Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Ian Buruma teaches at Bard College Annandale New York and is a regular contributor to the New Yorker and the New York Review of Books.
