Seminal work on the representational history of antisemitism by Eduard Fuchs (1870-1940), a German scholar, historian, Marxist writer and art collector. His work, analyzed among others by Walter Benjamin, consisted of valorizing the image (or the mass object) in terms of historical context and development. His writing is today reevaluated within Cultural Studies.
