Репост из: THE HEROIC IDEAL
Firstly, and because this channel was primarily made for the creation of art, are three books on Art in The Third Reich.
- Arts of The Third Reich by Peter Adam
- Art in The Third Reich by Berthold Hinz
- Totalitarian Art by Igor Golomstock
It is extremely difficult to find information on, and examples of, Art during The Third Reich. These books paint a good picture of the moment in time and show countless works which I wouldn't have found online. If I could choose only one, I would highly reccomend reading Art in The Third Reich by Berthold Hinz, as it provides the best and least hysterical account of what the NSDAP was trying to achieve. It really is a remarkable account of how a state can influence and promote a noble and heroic ideal and the raising up of a people through the art and architecture it creates. Though not without its faults, as 99.9% of books written on this period are written in a negative manner, which you should always bear in mind.
Knowledge is power.
