A Graphic Guide to Walter Benjamin, tracing his influence on modern aesthetics and cultural history as well as his particular focus on the tension between Marxism and Zionism, and between word and image in modern art. The German Jewish philosopher and critic Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) witnessed first-hand some of the great historical events of the 20th century, meeting many of the leading modernist artists, writers and poets, and taking a critical stance on the dominant ideologies of the period - Marxism, Zionism and Technocracy.
