These 11 artists were part of a massive cultural exodus from Austria that was initiated by the dire economic circumstances and political instability in that country just after the end of World War I and encouraged by the Austro-fascists who took power in 1934. Most of the artists in this exhibition were Jewish or would have been declared so by National Socialist racial laws. The exhibition was co-curated by John Czaplicka of the Center for European Studies at Harvard University and David Mickenberg, director of the Northwestern University Mary and Leigh Block Gallery.
