Ludwig Meidner: Expressionism, Ecstasy, Exile

by Erik Riedel (Editor), Mirjam Wenzel (Editor)

Ludwig Meidner is an outstanding expressionist and one of the most important Jewish artists of the 20th century. His drawings, paintings, and literary works register the upheavals and convulsions of his time. The conference proceedings of the Jewish Museum Frankfurt explore Meidner’s oeuvre and its reception as a phenomenon of contemporary history. A major focus is directed on the explicitly Jewish aspects of his works and their changing perception.
