Welcome to Professor Fogle's Course, Art & the Nazis
Why were Hitler and the Nazis so obsessed with obtaining certain types of art? How/why did they condemn and destroy art and artists that did not meet the Nazi ideal? This course will explore these questions by illuminating the artistic and cultural policies imposed by the Third Reich from 1933-1945. Topics included (but not limited to) are: Degenerate Art in Germany and German-occupied territories, Nazi art and cultural ideology, Nazi-led art looting in France, Italy, Poland, the Netherlands, and the Soviet Union and Allied retrieval and restitution of looted art
