Karl Gernot Kuehn Boeken

Behind the Iron Curtain, against all odds, photography secretly flourished as an art in the German Democratic Republic. CAUGHT offers the first in-depth appraisal of the artistic, social, and political evolution of the GDR through the eyes of participating photographers. It is an intimate portrayal of a people "caught" in the conflicting dictates of ideology, artistic oppression, a troubled national past, and basic human desires. 174 photos.
