This book investigates creative responses to the Nazi period in the
work of three artists, Felix Nussbaum, Charlotte Salomon and Arnold
Daghani, focusing on their use of pictorial narrative. It analyses
their contrasting aesthetic strategies and their innovative forms
of artistic production. In contrast with the autonomous, modernist
art object, their works were explicitly linked with the historical
conditions under which they were produced - the pressures of
persecution and exile. Conditions in the slave labour camps and
ghettos in the Ukraine, which shaped the paintings and drawings of
Daghani, are contrasted with the experiences of exile in Belgium
and France, which inspired Nussbaum and Salomon. In defiance of
conventional artistic practice, they produced word-image
combinations that can be read as narrative sequences, incorporating
specific references to political events. While there has been a
wealth of literary, philosophical and historical studies relating
to the Holocaust, aesthetic debate has developed less extensively.
This is the first comparative study of three artists who are only
belatedly achieving recognition and the recent reception of their
work is evaluated. By identifying the aesthetic principles and
narrative strategies underlying their work, the book reassesses
their achievement in creating new forms of modernism with an
unmistakable political momentum. This book was published as a
special issue of Word & Image.
