Kafka’s Drawings and the Social History of Art
On Masculinity and Male Sexuality in Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's Soldiers' Bath

Exposing German Communist Realities
For readers of the German Communist Party’s national daily newspaper, Die Rote Fahne (The Red Flag), 13 May 1928 must have been an extraordinary day.

Instead, they saw an arresting, full-page photograph of a hand isolated on a white background, specifically the s…
Torture and Masculinity in George Grosz's Interregnum
This article examines the exiled German artist George Grosz's Interregnum, a print portfolio published in New York in 1936, in particular Grosz's depiction of the interrogation and torture of political prisoners such as Erich Mühsam in the concentration camps established after Hitler's appointment as Reich chancellor.

Challenging the monolithic view of "the Nazis," this book details how a painter c…
