| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The art of the third Reich, the officially approved art produced in Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945, was characterized by a style of romantic realism based on classical models. While banning modern styles as degenerate, the Nazis promoted paintings and sculptures that were narrowly traditional in manner and that exalted the "blood and soil" values of racial purity, militarism, and obedience. Nazi art bears a close similarity to the Soviet propaganda art style of socialist realism, and the term "heroic realism" has sometimes been used to describe both artistic styles. This book studies the art of the Third Reich including "blood and soil," Robert Wiene, Arno Breker, art theft, and the Berlinka art collection.
