The Napoleon series is followed by a collection of paintings evoking various of the protagonists and events of the French Revolution, some of them juxtaposed with their perceived counterparts in the Third Reich. Thus Marat (arguably the first person to make effective use of the daily press for political purposes) is placed alongside Goebbels (the first to use documentary film for sustained political ends), and the painter Jacques-Louis David meets his match in Albert Speer: similar personalities, similar career trajectories. Powerful and disturbing questions are raised by these extraordinary parallels, and it becomes clear that Scherman is deploying his art both to produce compelling portraits and to examine some of the darkest areas of the human psyche.
The book contains three texts; Jacques Henric provides a dynamic account of the cultural and historical importance of Scherman's work and frame of reference from which it springs, Hans Belting and David Moos discuss the specific project and execution of the Napoleon series, and an interview with Tony Scherman by Sanford Kwinter and Bruce Mau illuminates the artist's motivation, practice and concerns.
