Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Rebecca Zurier has admirably encompassed the intellectual history of the period...but her most valuable contribution lies in the large group of splendid drawings and cartoons... The visual history here is eloquent." --Washington Post Book World "Handsomely packaged to resemble its subject the book is a compelling study of art and politics in the innocent, optimistic years before the Bolshevik Revolution and America's involvement in World War I." --David M. Oshinsky, The New York Times Book Review "[Zurier] is a confident and skilled guide through this exotic and distant world of political graphics. [This] examination of The Masses' artistic contribution, is brilliant, full of insight and subtle appreciation." --Richard Samuel West, The Philadelphia Inquirer "The volume is abundantly illustrated with the work of the Ashcan school along with the cartoons of such luminaries as Robert Minor and Art Young and the fine work of Picasso. Short biographies of the artists are included, as well as a helpful index. The book is nicely designed and illustrations are well printed...this book is a must." --Choice "This album documenting a 1985-86 Yale University exhibition is a wellspring of inspiration for activists and artists." --Publishers Weekly "This handsome, foot-high study is a contribution to the history of both American art and left-wing politics...a historical and analytic text that reads smoothly." --Booklist "Art for The Masses evokes an important era in American culture and American politics." --The Progressive
