Eli Valley's extraordinary work is a scathing indictment of the entire American polity, with a particular focus on the issues of Israel and Judaism at a time when these have moved to the centre of public debate and action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn these pages, Valley tips a homburg to German expressionists such as George Grosz and Otto Dix, who featured in \"The Exhibition of Degenerate Art,\" a 1937 Munich show that sought to ridicule the work of artists critical of Hitler's fascist regime. In an aesthetic that is strikingly original, Valley also draws on early twentieth-century American Yiddish cartoons and the work of artists who created the helter-skelter exuberance of \u003cem\u003eMAD\u003c\/em\u003e comics in the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eValley's own art, accompanied here by extensive descriptions of its genesis and context, is a howl of protest against the political, cultural, and media elites driving America into an authoritarian abyss.
