Ben Shahn (1898-1969) has long been renowned for his Social Realist paintings of Depression-era America. Equally striking, however, are Shahn's extraordinary later works, which reveal a more introspective style as well as the evolution of a new allegorical and mythical pictorial language. The book combines reproductions of Shahn's art with essays by leading experts on his life and career to present a survey of his powerful and engaging mature style. The volume is published in conjunction with a major travelling exhibition organized by The Jewish Museum, New York, to commemorate the centenary of Shahn's birth. The book contains more than 100 illustrations, including 32 in colour.
