The View From The Edge

Explains that Expressionism was ruined as an esthetic possibility by the horrors of World War II, when photography of the war surpassed any distortions of the body an artist could imagine. Tells how some artists struggled but lost in their attempts to maintain a mythic-religious imagery in the face of increasing secularization of 20th century life.
