"Anneliese Hager (1904-1997) is one of a number of modern artists who began their artistic experimentation in Germany after National Socialist cultural policy began to harden against all forms of modern art. Her preferred medium was the photogram, a photographic image made by placing an object directly on (or in close proximity to) a light-sensitive surface and exposing it to light. Hager called the reversal of light and dark in the resulting contact print \"white shadows.\"Despite being one of the photogram's key 20th century practitioners, Hager has remained virtually unknown. All of her artwork prior to 1945 was completely destroyed in the bombing of Dresden. In the 1950s, she, like many women artists, was increasingly overlooked as a result of the return to a conservative sexual and social order. This talk will thus examine \"white shadows\" as an apt metaphor for an artistic project which began under Nazi censure and ended in a different kind of isolation in postwar Germany.Presented by Lynette Roth, Harvard Art Museums."
