Items related to Artists for the Reich: Culture and Race from Weimar...
While we often think about talented artists fleeing the clutches of the Nazi regime - forced out or sickened by the strictures placed upon them - we rarely consider those artists who willingly stayed behind. This is the first comprehensive treatment of the German Art Society, a group of artists, authors and right-wing activists who actively embraced Nazism. These artists have typically been dismissed as a lunatic fringe, but the author argues that they were in fact instrumental in battling modernist art in defense of what they regarded as the German cultural tradition. Drawing on previously neglected archival material, Clinefelter reveals cultural continuities that extend from the Wilhelmine Empire, through the Weimar Republic, into the Third Reich, and elucidates how theses artists promoted Nazi culture 'from below.' Rich in detail and highly readable, Artists for the Reich provides a more nuanced understanding of German culture under Nazism.

Review:

This original and fascinating book enhances our understanding of Weimar and Nazi culture, exploring many of the continuities, tensions, and contradictions that existed in the two periods.' Jonathan Petropoulos, Author of The Faustian Bargain: The Art World in Nazi Germany, Claremont McKenna College'Artists for the Reich makes an important contribution to our understanding of how cultural politics was used as a right-wing mobilization tool in the Weimar Republic and in the Third Reich. It shows how the well-educated, middle and upper-middle-class 'respectable' members of the German Art Society tried to promote a racist, antisemitic, and anti-democratic agenda. Particularly fascinating is Clinefelter's port
