The photographic wall-mounted work, the so-called photomural, became an epitome of the USA's national art in the 1930s; also as a counter-design to Mexican muralism. For the first time, Johanna Spanke analyzes the extent to which the rise of the photomural can be seen as emerging from a process of mediation between Mexico and the United States; one in which national identity constructs and discourses of modernity played a part, as well as negotiated competition between media.

Produktbeschreibung
The photographic wall-mounted work, the so-called photomural, became an epitome of the USA's national art in the 1930s; also as a counter-design to Mexican muralism. For the first time, Johanna Spanke analyzes the extent to which the rise of the photomural can be seen as emerging from a process of mediation between Mexico and the United States; one in which national identity constructs and discourses of modernity played a part, as well as negotiated competition between media. This publication makes an important contribution to perspectives on historical entanglements in U.S. art history, bringing to the fore intermedial and transnational debates, as well as gender-related factors.

Rezensionen
"Es hat die Jury unisono begeistert, da es auf souveräne, materialreiche und pointierte Weise einen Bereich der Fotogeschichte vorstellt, dem bisher viel zu wenig Beachtung geschenkt wurde." (Prof. Dr. Bernd Stiegler in: Laudation, Deutscher Fotobuchpreis, 2024/2025, https://deutscherfotobuchpreis.de/portfolio/photomurals/ (28.11.2024))

"Johanna Spankes Publikation zu den Photomurals in den USA und in Mexiko stellt ein heute weitgehend vergessenes Kapitel aus der Fotogeschichte der 1930er- und 1940er-Jahre vor, das visuell nur noch in dokumentarischen Aufnahmen, vorbereitenden Studien und Collagen nachvollziehbar ist. [...] Die dafür von der Autorin unternommenen Archivrecherchen sind nicht nur vorbildlich, sondern haben eine Vielzahl schwer zugänglicher und bislang gänzlich unerforschter Aspekte zu Tage gefördert." (Angela Lammert in: 21: Inquiries into Art, History, and the Visual, 2024/3)
