La volonté de bonheur

Max Lingner dans son contexte. L’art et la politique en France entre 1929 et 1949

This anthology links the work of the Max Lingner Foundation in Berlin with current research on the history of art, politics and culture in France in the interwar period. In addition to the classic biographical perspective on Max Lingner's life story, the texts by scientists from both countries focus on the broader artistic and political context. The leitmotif for this volume, "The Will to Happiness”, stands for the upheaval of the Front Populaire in 1936 and also places the painter and press illustrator Max Lingner in this context.
