Ludwig Meidner (1884-1966) is considered one of the most significant representatives of urban Expressionism and one of the most important Jewish artists of the 20th century. After fleeing to London, the Silesian-born artist returned to West Germany in 1955, while his wife Else remained in England. Meidner's drawings, paintings, and literary texts vividly reflect the upheavals and transformations of his time. This volume focuses on his work and its impact as a mirror of contemporary history. Special attention is given to the Jewish experience reflected in Meidner's works and their dynamic reception history.
