DescriptionThomas Mann wrote that war intensified Masereel’s creativity, noting that his art fostered the development of ‘universal values central to the world and to humanity’. In Nazi Germany Masereel’s art was classified ‘degenerate’. In the 1940s he produced important anti-war works, including Danse Macabre, Rage, and Remember! The powerful imagery ranges from the abstract: the globe so covered in graves its surface is no longer visible; to the disturbingly realistic: inmates of a concentration camp staring through barbed wire. This limited edition book (132 of 950) was published in Berne, Switzerland by Herbert Lang.
