At this time, photography was undergoing a radical transformation as it sought to establish itself as an art form. The migrants, in turn, brought with them a broad spectrum of professional training and photographic skills. The camera served as a medium for engaging with the metropolis, reflecting on the experience of migration, building networks and simply surviving economically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn order to comprehensively analyse the complex relationships between photography and exile in the context of the metropolis of New York, Helene Roth takes a closer look at the creative achievements and heterogeneous perspectives, but also the setbacks of migrated photographers. From a transnational perspective, she engages with the socio-cultural, political and artistic developments of the 1930s and 1940s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnglish translation of \u003ci\u003eUrban Eyes: Deutschsprachige Fotograf*innen im New Yorker Exil in den 1930er- und 1940er-Jahren\u003c\/i\u003e, Helen Roth (Wallstein Verlag 2023)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leuven University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47569579409559,"sku":"9789462704954","price":6319.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789462704954.webp?v=1774878214","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/urban-eyes-german-speaking-emigre-photographers-in-new-york-in-the-1930s-and-1940s-9789462704954","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
