Sabine Kriebel is Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Art at University College Cork, Ireland. Her talk will focus on New Objectivity in German painting and photography in the interwar years. She earned her PhD in Art History from the University of California, Berkeley and her first book, Revolutionary Beauty: The Radical Photomontages of John Heartfield (University of California Press, 2014), offers a groundbreaking study of Heartfield's pioneering AIZ montages, probing the intersections of affective pictures, radical politics, and technologies of mass replication in interwar Europe. Her current book project rethinks the often maligned modernist realist phenomenon called the New Objectivity via psychoanalysis and phenomenology.
