Notes: "For their contribution to the Contemporary Jewish Museum's ongoing Havruta series... artist Anthony Discenza and author Peter Straub conducted a collaborative investigation into the history of Das Beben (The Tremor), an obscure group of painters from the 19th century. The resulting exhibition, "Beyond the Veil of Vision: Reinhold von Kreitz and the Das Beben Movement," attempts to extrapolate the group's troubled narrative from the limited records available. As a complement to their exhibition, Straub and Discenza have compiled this collection of fantastic literature dating from the 1800's to the present." -- back cover
