THE OXYMORON OF NAZI “ART”
Long sequestered and rarely viewed, recent art historical writings have begun to examine the art of Fascism. This series of podcasts, in four parts, attempts to answer a series of questions: what were the goals of Nazi art, who were the Nazi artists – the painters and sculptors – and what was the impact of Nazi art? The first segment will examine the aesthetic ideology of the Nazis and how they attacked avant-garde Modernist art in a series of exhibition of “degenerate” art.
