Exiles and Emigres: The Flight of European Artists from Hitler

The rise of the Nazis in 1933 caused an unprecedented forced migration of hundreds of artists within and, in many cases, ultimately away from Europe. Exiles and Emigres, published in conjunction with a traveling exhibition opening in February 1997 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is the first book to trace the lives and work of 23 well‑known painters, sculptors, photographers, and architects exiled from their homelands during the 12 years of Nazi rule.
