Common Ground by Sarah E James
A groundbreaking examination of post-war photography in East and West Germany'Sarah James’ excellent and panoramic evaluation of photographic departures in Germany from the end of WWII to the 1980s, is exhaustive in its meticulous research and well-argued analysis. . [A]n outstanding and scholarly work which describes a culture where any given image is necessarily pre-loaded with meaning and pregnant with symbolism.'—F22/STATE

'[An] engaging, well-written, intelligent and necessary study of post-war German photography that will revise the way we think about East and West Germany and their relationship to the vibrant photographic culture of Weimar.'—Jonathan Long, Source Magazine -- Jonathan Long * Source Magazine *
'Perhaps the greatest strength of the book lies in this steady and careful consideration of Weimar influence in both East and West, and of the attendant overlappings that belied the solidity of the barriers between the two German societies...Though this book will be enormously useful for historians as well as art historians, the flood of well-chosen images with which James has illustrated it sets it apart from most histories.'—Sarah Goodrum, H Soz U Kult -- Sarah Goodrum * H Soz U Kult *
