Le immagini del potere. La Deutsche Kunstgesellschaft e l’arte del Terzo Reich

This essay deals with the uses of art for representing power in Germany from the Wei-mar Republic to the Second World War. It focuses on the figure of Bettina Feistel-Roh-meder and the origins of her Deutsche Kunstgesellschaft. A brief comparison of the art promoted by the German Art Society with the one later made official by Hitler’s regime will demonstrate their common roots in the v lkisch (nationalistic) milieu and the roman-tic tradition. This essay also presents a selection of a few articles collected in “Das Bild”.
