AbstractKnox' 12 page article quotes extensively from Hartmann's manuscripts re Walt Whitman's influence on his poetry, his experiences of being forced to move to the United States to live with his uncle, his embracing of the "American way of life," (and his rejection of defining himself as Eurasian or German). It also states that Hartmann wrote extensively on literature, theater, dance, the visual arts, and photography (particularly the avant-garde), dedicated himself to living the bohemian life, founded a theater in California and became involved in movies. The article goes on to discuss his harassment during WW II. Finally, the article briefly analyzes the influence of Hartmann's race and national origins on his career.
