Einband leicht berieben. - Englisch. - On the heels of the Roaring Twenties, the 1930s, which spanned from the economic crisis of 1929 to the outbreak of the Second World War, was a dark decade. Political regimes - authoritarian or totalitarian - came to power or were consolidated and guided by leaders who often inspired their names Francoism in Spain, Stalinism in the Soviet Union, National Socialism in Germany, and Fascism in Italy. Beyond similar governmental mechanisms, these regimes shared an ideology: the will to create what they called the "New Man." At one extreme, this took the form of social re-education and the elimination of the "bourgeois" classes (USSR); at the other extreme, a racialist policy of elimination of peoples declared "degenerate" as well as those whose lives were deemed "unworthy" (Germany). This ideology, which directly affected the images and portrayals of man, naturally reached into the world of art. The era was represented by a healthy, vigorous, athletic, sporting, "eugenic" man, while the avant-garde currents of expressionism and surrealism were banned. On the one hand, "eternal" examples of "unsurpassable" Greek beauty were evoked; on the other, representations deemed unhealthy or degenerate were denounced. This decade began with a more or less innocent dream of the theme of the original egg, germination, the harmonious growth of a fabric both biological and social, but ended with the nightmarish discovery of the corpses in the concentration camps by the armies of liberation in 1945.

Originalpappband. Zustand: Gut. 91 S. : Ill. ; 25 cm Gutes Exemplar - Immer der Nase nach seine Nase in fremde Angelegenheiten stecken, auf die Nase fallen, sich an die eigene Nase fassen - nach der Lektüre dieses Buches werden solche Ausdrücke für den Leser eine tiefere Bedeutung erlangt haben. Giacomettis berühmte Skulptur Die Nase ist Ausgangspunkt und Zentrum der Betrachtungen Jean Clairs. Der Autor ist nicht nur einer der genauesten Kenner des Künstlers, sondern macht den Leser auch mit anderen Nasen und deren Deutung bekannt. Die althergebrachte Analogie zwischen Nase und männlichem Geschlecht kommt bei seinem phänomenologischen Parcours ebenso zur Sprache wie norditalienische Maskenzeremonien oder die Figur des Pinocchio, dessen Nase desto länger wird, je mehr er lügt.
