520 8  Annotation|bIn Boston Modern, Judith Bookbinder firmly 
       establishes Boston figurative expressionism as an integral
       part of American modernism, one that presents an 
       alternative approach to the trajectory of abstract art in 
       the turbulent decades bracketing the Second World War. The
       works of the movement's most remarkable artists boldly 
       confront issues of personal and group identity in the 
       modern world, consider the role of the artist as witness 
       to violence, prejudice, and corruption in modern society, 
       and intricately reinterpret the nature of the creative 
       process and its formal and spatial implications. Within 
       Boston's unique and surprisingly receptive Anglo-Saxon and
       academic tradition, Karl Zerbe, Hyman Bloom, Jack Levine, 
       David Aronson, Philip Guston, and others, many of whom 
       were Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe or their 
       children, struggled to clarify their identities as 
       outsiders in an insider's world and as modern artists. 
       Although at first critically and popularly well received 
       throughout the country, Boston figurative expressionists 
       were increasingly marginalized by the development of 
       abstract modernism centered in New York.<br /><br />
       However, by giving voice to the ethos of a community in 
       flux, the movement continues to inspire artists today. The
       vibrant dialogue the group established between their 
       individual perspectives and the aesthetic conventions 
       taught at Boston's academic institutions is here at last 
       given the prominent treatment it deserves. Lavishly 
       illustrated and skillfully presented, Boston Modern 
       definitively challenges widely accepted notions of 
       modernist discourse in American art history.
