| Publisher Description: The exhibition Art in Battle at KODE - Art Museums of Bergen portrays the battles over art initiated by Nazi policies for their European conquests. It examines propaganda exhibitions in occupied Norway as well as hitherto unseen art by soldiers stationed in Norway. This exceptional catalog documents this ground-breaking show and assembles leading experts on the history and ideology of Nazi cultural campaigns in both Germany and Norway to initiate a fresh discussion of the relationships between center and periphery within the art worlds of the Third Reich outside the overfamiliar dichotomy of "Degenerate" versus "Great German" art. Beyond historical re-assessment, this project also asks more pressingly: How do we encounter these battles over art today? |
