Combining a range of theoretical and practical perspectives, the volume challenges the narrow frameworks of totalitarianism and Ostalgie that have dominated discussions of art produced in the GDR. It explores the diversity of art produced in the state and contests the long-held perception that socialist realism and artistic innovation were mutually exclusive. Crucially, the collection puts art itself to the fore; GDR art is considered not simply as a political by-product, as is so often the case, but as an entity of innovation and aesthetic value in its own right.German monitor ;no. 74.Art, GermanGermany (East)20th centuryElectronic books.Art, German700.103Kelly Elaine970751Wlodarski Amy970752MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461327203321Art outside the lines2206469UNINA
