Art in Crisis
Hamburg Art in the 'Third Reich'
What happens when politics influences art and ultimately determines it completely? Art historian Maike Bruhns has researched meticulously for years, in Hamburg and all around the world. She held conversations in England, France, the USA, and South America, evaluated correspondences from contemporaries, and tracked down artworks in many places, in private homes, museums, galleries, and in literature. The result is the standard work on 'Hamburg Art in the "Third Reich"' – long out of print, now reissued. In the richly illustrated book, the individual fates of artists and their works are embedded in the history of visual arts in Hamburg during the National Socialist era. The author investigates the consequences of changed cultural policies for museums, educational institutions, artist associations, art trade, public and private art collections, authorities, and for free art. In addition to the artists, the focus of consideration includes art students, collectors, art dealers, scholars, exhibitors, and the public. Exile experiences are examined as well as developments after the end of the war. Thus, a comprehensive picture of the artistic, social, and political conditions in the Hanseatic city between 1933 and 1945 emerges.
