This volume brings together new studies of his early career by an international group of scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors approach the context from a variety of angles including the social and political histories of a divided Germany, the conflicted development of Soviet Socialist Realism in East Germany, a Cold War visuality integrating pre- and post-resettlement works, the archival dimension of the artist's output in relation to Richter's \u003ci\u003eAtlas\u003c\/i\u003e, and the artist's involvement in the representation of his work in archives, exhibitions, and catalogues. The essays began as papers delivered at a symposium held at the Getty Research Institute in 2007 in conjunction with the exhibition \u003ci\u003eFrom Caspar David Friedrich to Gerhard Richter: German Paintings from Dresden\u003c\/i\u003e at the J.
