Description

ldquo;What are we to make of those cultural figures; many with significant international reputations; who tried to find accommodation with the Nazi regime?rdquo; Jonathan Petropoulos asks in this exploration of some of the most acute moral questions of the Third Reich. In his nuanced analysis of prominent German artists; architects; composers; film directors; painters; and writers who rejected exile; choosing instead to stay during Germanyrsquo;s darkest period; Petropoulos shows how individuals variously dealt with the regimersquo;s public opposition to modern art. His findings explode the myth that all modern artists were anti-Nazi and all Nazis anti-modernist. Artists Under Hitler closely examines cases of artists who failed in their attempts to find accommodation with the Nazi regime (Walter Gropius; Paul Hindemith; Gottfried Benn; Ernst Barlach; Emil Nolde) as well as others whose desire for official acceptance was realized (Richard Strauss; Gustaf Gruuml;ndgens; Leni Riefenstahl; Arno Breker; Albert Speer). Collectively these ten figures illuminate the complex cultural history of Nazi Germany; while individually they provide haunting portraits of people facing excruciating choices and grave moral questions.
