Although the Breslau arts scene was one of the most vibrant in all
ofWeimar-era Germany, it has largely disappeared from memory.
Studiesof the influence of Weimar culture on modernism have focused
almostexclusively on Berlin and the Dessau Bauhaus, yet the
advances thatoccurred in Breslau affected nearly every intellectual
field, forming thebasis for aesthetic modernism internationally and
having an enduringimpact on visual art and architecture. Breslau
boasted a thriving modernarts scene and one of the premier German
arts academies of the dayuntil the Nazis began their assault on
so-called degenerate art. Thisbook charts the cultural production
of Breslau-based artists, architects,art collectors, urban
designers, and arts educators who operated in themargins of
Weimar-era cultural debates. Rather than accepting the
radicalposition of the German avant-garde or the reactionary
position of Germanconservatives, many Breslauers sought a middle
ground. This richly illustrated volume is the first book in English
to addressthis history, constituting an invaluable addition to the
literature on theWeimar period. Its readership includes scholars of
German history, art,architecture, urban design, planning,
collecting, and exhibition history;of the avant-garde, and of the
development of arts academies and artspedagogy.
