Zusammenfassung:Landscape imagery, politics and identity in a divided Germany, 1968-1989' explores the communicative relationship between German landscape painting and the viewing public that developed in the wake of the student revolutions of the late 1960s. The book demonstrates that, contrary to some historical thinking, more similarities than differences characterized the sociopolitical concerns of East and West Germans during the late Cold War Era, and that it was these shared issues that were reflected in the revival of the Romantic painting genre. Catherine Wilkins focuses on recovering the agency of the individual artist and in revising historiography with sensitivity to narration "from below." Interdisciplinary in nature, art historians can benefit from the study's analysis of images and artists not widely known outside of Germany
