Art for All The Collision of Modern Art and the Public in Late Nineteenth-Century Germany

"This book is an accomplishment of which I am truly envious. It is easily the most innovative book on German art written in the last decade or so, and will certainly be the one that sets the standards while also formulating the questions for future studies.Art for All'sets itself a highly ambitious task and fulfills it superbly. There is no other book like it, neither in English nor in German."--Reinhold Heller, University of Chicago "There is no question that this well-written and well-organized book is a boon for the history of German art and for art history in general. It revives a forgotten but rich discussion by focusing on the role of exhibitions, journals, and leading critics of the time, and on the social aspects of the making and distribution of the era's art, including art by women."--Ekkehard Mai, Wallraf-Richartz-Museum--Foundation Corboud, CologneLewis, Beth Irwin is the author of 'Art for All The Collision of Modern Art and the Public in Late Nineteenth-Century Germany' with ISBN 9780691102658 and ISBN 0691102651.
