Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This volume examines the case of the Camoufleur during World War I by illuminating a number of neglected art historical issues that rightfully belong to the discipline as well as to a larger cultural political ideological context of the period 1914-1918. Within the crisis of the Great War this category of mobilized artists had to struggle with and against the old categories of art and work, the artist as visionary and the artist as cultural warrior, and the private and public nature of artistic creativity.
