Description

This volume examines the multi-faceted nature of German identity through the lens of myriad forms of visual representation from the Middle Ages to the present. A broad spectrum of visual culture is considered - from painting to sculpture, advertising to architecture, film to installation art - to offer new insights into the 'German Question'.
