Matthew S. Witkovsky, assistant curator of photographs, National Gallery of Art, examines the widespread interest in and experimentation with photography in the 1920s and 1930s across Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Austria, and Poland. Through magazines and books, in advertisements and at exhibitions, from amateur clubs to avant-garde schools, photographs emerged as a key vehicle of modern consciousness. Organized thematically, the book explores topics from photomontage and war to gender identity, modern living, and the spread of surrealism. The catalogue also includes an introduction by Peter Demetz, professor emeritus, Yale University; biographies of the artists; and an extensive bibliography.

Fully illustrated, 319 pages. Produced by the National Gallery of Art and published in association with Thames & Hudson.
