"Caught by Politics" recalls the exile of German and European
visual artists and film practitioners in the United States. The
book traces the paths and aesthetic strategies of Hitler exiles in
the United States as ones of productive encounters and ironic
cultural masquerades. While stressing creative transformations and
performative self-reinventions, the accounts don't ignore the
hardship of forced displacement. "Caught by Politics" encourages
the reader to revise dominant and one-sided understandings of
modernist culture and instead to engage with the various
cross-cultural dialogues between European and American artists.
Whether discovering the work of visual artists such as Max Beckmann
and George Grosz, of designers such as Jakob Detlef Peters, or of
directors and popular film practitioners such as Hans Richter,
Edgar Ulmer and Peter Lorre, all authors understand their object of
study not in isolation from other media of expression, but as part
of the effervescent circulation of images typical for modern
industrial society.
