Exhibition catalogue published on the occasion of a retrospective of the same name that was organized by the Jewish Museum Berlin and Kulturprojekte Berlin GmbH. The show featured the work of R. B.

Kitaj is perhaps best-known for his figurative paintings featuring bright colors and etched, expressive brushwork.
