An exhibit at the Bloch gallery of Northwestern University ..WAR! ! That has many of the Expressionist artists inside this book had me re-reviewing this wonderful book. Shikes is not just someone who writes from the view of the history of art as a specialized knowledge of prints of social art ...he is someone who believes in the mission of the artist as social critic.
