The Artist-Operas of Pfitzner, Krenek and Hindemith: Politics and the Ideology of the Artist
Claire Taylor-Jay
This is a study of the genre of "artist-opera", in which the work's central character is an artist who is uncomfortable with his place in the world. It investigates how three such operas contributed to the debate in early 20th-century Germany about the place of art and the artist in modern society.
