Eli Valley's extraordinary work is a scathing indictment of the entire American polity, with a particular focus on the issues of Israel and Judaism at a time when these have moved to the center of public debate and action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these pages, Valley tips a homburg to German expressionists such as George Grosz and Otto Dix who featured in \"The Exhibition of Degenerate Art,\" a 1937 Munich show that sought to ridicule the work of artists critical of Hitler's fascist regime. In an aesthetic that is strikingly original, Valley also draws on early twentieth-century American Yiddish cartoons and the work of artists who created the helter-skelter exuberance ofMADcomics in the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eValley's own art, accompanied here by extensive descriptions of its genesis and context, is a howl of protest against the political, cultural and media elites driving America into an authoritarian abyss. Here is anger, pure and hot, expressed in exquisite detail and, often, disturbingly funny.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46839795351710,"sku":"ADS-9781682193877","price":62.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781682193877.jpg?v=1778826808","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781682193877","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
