A richly illustrated retrospective catalog of Josef Scharl (1896–1954), a German expressionist painter linked to the New Objectivity movement. Published for the major 2000 exhibition in Emden and Munich, it explores his portraits, social scenes, and political themes, restoring visibility to an artist marginalized by exile and the Nazi regime.
