De Gruyter Lotte Laserstein: Meine einzige Wirklichkeit
When one speaks of the “lost generation,” it also includes Lotte Laserstein (1898–1993). After the National Socialists seized power, she was forced to leave Germany, and her exile resulted in her being forgotten. Laserstein’s artistic career, however, began auspiciously: in 1927, she was the first woman to complete studies at the Berlin Academy of the Arts with distinction, and quickly made a name for herself in the art metropolis. While her works are close to Neue Sachlichkeit, they lack its cool, dissecting smoothness. Laserstein’s selfassured view of the new woman, technical mastery, play with traditional and modern visual formulas, as well as her synthesis of objectivity and sensitivity give her pictures a captivating contemporaneity and time-transcending topicality.

De Gruyter Andere Horizonte: Ostdeutsche Nachkriegsmoderne im Schatten des Sozialistischen Realismus
Die reich illustrierte Publikation stellt Künstlerinnen und Künstler vor, die in der DDR der 1950er- und 1960er-Jahre wiederholt dem Vorwurf des „Formalismus" ausgesetzt waren. Die Darstellung dieser frühen Kunstopposition führt eindringlich vor Augen, wie ziel- und selbstsicher Maler und Grafiker auch in Phasen rigider Kulturpolitik an der Autonomie der Kunst festhielten und durch ihr beharrliches Austesten und mutiges Überschreiten gesteckter Grenzen sukzessive zu einer Weitung des künstlerischen Korsetts beitrugen. Die Vorstellung repräsentativer Bilder von rund 30 Künstlern sowie die Untersuchung beispielhafter Werkgenesen ermöglichen einen differenzierten Blick auf die Kunst der frühen DDR, bei dem weniger die Kunstpolitik als vielmehr das Kunstwerk selbst Gegenstand der Befragung und Bewertung ist.
