- An unprecedented survey of artists in exile from the 19th century through the present day, with notable attention to Asian, Latin American, African American, and female artists This timely book offers a wide-ranging and beautifully illustrated study of exiled artists from the 19th century through the present day, with notable attention to individuals who have often been relegated to the margins of publications on exile in art history. The artworks featured here, including photography, paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture, present an expanded view of the conditions of exile-forced or voluntary-as an agent for both trauma and ingenuity. The introduction outlines the history and perception of exile in art over the past 200 years, and the book's four sections explore its aesthetic impact through the themes of home and mobility, nostalgia, transfer and adjustment, and identity. Essays and catalogue entries in each section showcase diverse artists, including not only European ones-like Jacques-Louis David, Paul Gauguin, George Grosz, and Kurt Schwitters-but also female, African American, East Asian, Latin American, and Middle Eastern artists, such as Harold Cousins; Max Beckmann; Emil Nolde; Elizabeth Catlett; Marcel Duchamp; Ahmed Alsoudani; Ronald B. Kitaj; Jacques Louis David; Lotte Jacobi; Lyonel Feininger; Abelardo Morell; Georg Grosz; An-My Lê; Yves Tanguy; Hans Hofmann; Mu Xin; Paul Gauguin; Mona Hatoum; Arshile Gorky; Lucas Samaras; Gustave Courbet; Shirin Neshat; Kurt Schwitters; Roberto Matta; Ana Mendieta; Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart; Jirí Kolár; André Kertész; Kurt Seligmann.
