| Summary |
"The realist outlook is exemplified in the work of George Grosz in his observations of urban life in Weimar Germany or, in America, in the high focus paintings of Edward Hopper and Grant Wood. The author also examines the so-called 'socialist realism' of Stalin's Soviet Union and the condemnation of artists not conforming to Nazi academic-realist demands. He describes French and Italian painting between the wars and the political intentions of Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. British realists, amongst them Stanley Spencer and Lucian Freud, are discussed in detail, as are the Pop artists Richard Hamilton and Andy Warhol."--BOOK COVER |
