"Modernism both influenced and was fascinated by the rhetorical and aesthetic manifestations
of fascism. In examining how four artists and writers represented fascist leaders,
Annalisa Zox-Weaver aims to achieve a more complex understanding of the modernist
political imagination. She examines how photographer Lee Miller, filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl,
writer Gertrude Stein and journalist Janet Flanner interpret, dramatize and exploit
Hitler, Göring and Pétain. Within their own artistic medium, each of these modernists
explore confrontations between private and public identity, and historical narrative
and the construction of myth. This study makes use of extensive archival material,
such as letters, photographs, journals, unpublished manuscripts and ephemera and includes
ten illustrations. This interdisciplinary perspective opens up wider discussions of
the relationship between artists and dictators, modernism and fascism, and authority
and representation"--
