The concepts of "international solidarity" and "friendship between nations" had an inherent geopolitical agenda: as such, they not only determined East Germany's foreign policy but also supported a multitude of transcultural contacts and became a key focus of propaganda and the visual arts in the GDR. The book accompanying the exhibition of the same name presents themes and motifs of actual and putative "revolutionary romances," including the ideals and icons of socialist internationalism, artistic protests against war and violence, travel images, mail art, and works produced by foreign art students in East Germany.
