This book offers visual, social-historical analyses of paintings and drawings by the German Communist Karl Schwesig, following the course of Schwesig’s own internments and the dehumanizing treatment that characterized the racialization of Jewish and "mixed-race" persons in Vichy France and the attempted elimination of political dissidents.

Description
This book offers visual, social-historical analyses of paintings and drawings by the renowned German Communist artist Karl Schwesig. It follows the course of Schwesig's internments but is dedicated primarily to the plight of foreign Jewish persons and Christians (of Jewish descent) who were interned at Camps Saint-Cyprien, Gurs, and Noé in the French free zone.
The artworks created by Schwesig provide the themes investigated in each chapter. The works describe the dehumanising treatment that contributed to and characterised the racialisation of foreign Jewish and "mixed-race" persons in France's free zone and the attempted elimination of political dissidents.
Through an Artist's Eyes includes colour plates.
