{"product_id":"9781682193877","title":"Museum of Degenerates : Portraits of the American Grotesque","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn explosive exhibition of art by a celebrated cartoonist chronicling America’s march toward right-wing authoritarianism. Museum of Degenerates invites you to a delirious display of art by one of contemporary America’s most original and incendiary political cartoonists. 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. In 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 of MAD comics in the 1950s. Valley’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":"OR Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42658462171211,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1602.61,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/0023\/7387\/files\/9781682193877-1.jpg?v=1783466994","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.co.th\/products\/9781682193877","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Thailand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
