"This book uncovers the changing artistic landscape of Poland between the 1920s and 1950s, through the work of Jewish-Polish painter and Holocaust survivor, Henryk Streng (Marek Wlodarski) (1903-1960). Extraordinary for his aesthetic innovation during the two major traumas of 20th-century European history, the Holocaust and Stalinism, Streng's work disrupted the established notions of 20th-century Polish art, while making the case for an internationalized history of European Modernism - as demonstrated by this book for the first time"--
