  • Quantifying Hitler's Salon: Patrick J. Jung
    Quantifying Hitler’s Salon: A Statistical Analysis of Subjects at the Great German Art Exhibition, 1937-1944 Patrick J. Jung Department of Humanities, Social Science, and Communication Milwaukee School of Engineering Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202, USA Email: [email protected] Abstract: In recent decades, scholars have reassessed earlier historical interpretations that argued German art produced during the Nazi era was little more than kitsch. This reassessment has occurred in part due to the increased accessibility to the various sources required to thoroughly research Nazi-era art. The availability of the artistic oeuvre of the Third Reich has been enhanced by the 2012 launch of the online database Grosse deutsche Kunstausstellung, 1937-1944. This database makes possible a quantitative analysis of the artworks exhibited at Adolf Hitler’s annual art exhibition, the Grosse deutsche Kunstausstellung (Great German Art Exhibition), from 1937 to 1944. Tabulating the information found in this database indicates that landscapes and related works constituted the dominant subject category. Portraits, nudes, and depictions of animals were also significant, but overtly political art was uncommon. The subjects of Nazi-era art reflected the racial ideology of the Third Reich, but several subject categories remain largely unexamined in this respect. This essay provides statistical evidence that supports many of the scholarly interpretations concerning these subject categories and suggests new directions for future research. Keywords: Third Reich, Nazi-era art, Great German Art Exhibition, Adolf Hitler Introduction: Reassessing Nazi-Era Art Prior to the 1970s, art historians generally dismissed Nazi-era art as mere kitsch and the product of a dictatorship that had suppressed modernist styles.

  • Journalists and Religious Activists in Polish-German Relations
    THE PROJECT OF RECONCILIATION: JOURNALISTS AND RELIGIOUS ACTIVISTS IN POLISH-GERMAN RELATIONS, 1956-1972 Annika Frieberg A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Dr. Konrad H. Jarausch Dr. Christopher Browning Dr. Chad Bryant Dr. Karen Hagemann Dr. Madeline Levine View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository ©2008 Annika Frieberg ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ANNIKA FRIEBERG: The Project of Reconciliation: Journalists and Religious Activists in Polish-German Relations, 1956-1972 (under the direction of Konrad Jarausch) My dissertation, “The Project of Reconciliation,” analyzes the impact of a transnational network of journalists, intellectuals, and publishers on the postwar process of reconciliation between Germans and Poles. In their foreign relations work, these non-state actors preceded the Polish-West German political relations that were established in 1970. The dissertation has a twofold focus on private contacts between these activists, and on public discourse through radio, television and print media, primarily its effects on political and social change between the peoples. My sources include the activists’ private correspondences, interviews, and memoirs as well as radio and television manuscripts, articles and business correspondences. Earlier research on Polish-German relations is generally situated firmly in a nation-state framework in which the West German, East German or Polish context takes precedent. My work utilizes international relations theory and comparative reconciliation research to explore the long-term and short-term consequences of the discourse and the concrete measures which were taken during the 1960s to end official deadlock and nationalist antagonisms and to overcome the destructive memories of the Second World War dividing Poles and Germans.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ART HISTORY THE BERGHOF AND THE DISCOURSE OF DOMESTICITY IN HITLER’S ARCHITECTURE EMILY A. DICE SPRING 2013 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Art History with honors in Art History Reviewed and approved* by the following: Craig Zabel Head of the Department of Art History Associate Professor of Art History Thesis Supervisor Brian A. Curran Professor of Art History Honors Adviser Charlotte M. Houghton Associate Professor of Art History Faculty Reader * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT Adolf Hitler had a lifelong fascination with art and architecture. After rising to power in Germany, he pursued his desires to turn the country into an Aryan cultural center. Strict rules were developed to control the production of art and architecture in Germany under Hitler’s command. The Nazi party encouraged styles of neoclassicism and German nationalism while condemning all things modern; yet, despite his criticism of modern architecture, Hitler used many modern elements in the construction of his private home in the Bavarian Alps, the Berghof. This thesis explores the link between the architectural styles of Hitler’s Berghof and International Style architecture—specifically Mies van der Rohe’s Tugendhat House. Although several notable differences between the two buildings exist, remarkable similarities come to the forefront after careful study. Few authors have investigated this topic; however

  • (The Four Elements) by Adolf Ziegler
    BAYERISCHE STAATSGEMÄLDESAMMLUNGEN PRESSEINFORMATION DIE VIER ELEMENTE (THE FOUR ELEMENTS) BY ADOLF ZIEGLER RESEARCH PROJECT ON “TRANSFERS FROM STATE PROPERTY” Authors: Johannes Gramlich, research assistant in provenance research, and Jochen Meister, head of visitor services and art education Adolf Ziegler (1892–1959), The Four Elements, before 1937, oil on canvas, central panel 171,3 x 110,5 cm, right panel 172.3 x 86 cm, left panel 171,5 x 86 cm, Modern Art Collection in the Pinakothek der Moderne (© Sibylle Forster, Bavarian State Painting Collections) In the 1950s and 1960s especially, the Bavarian State Painting Collections acquired around 900 art objects which until 1945 had belonged to high-ranking organisations and functionaries and functionaries of the Nazi Party—including works from the personal collections of Adolph Hitler, Hermann Göring, Heinrich Hoffmann and the Party Chancellery. Since 2013 the Bavarian State Painting Collections have been researching the provenance of these objects in the research project “Transfers from State Property” (Überweisungen aus Staatsbesitz”), currently handled by Johannes Gramlich and Sophie Kriegenhofer. There is good reason to suspect that many of these works were looted from their previous owners by the Nazis. However, this is not the case for all of the art objects in these holdings. More than 200 of the works were created by contemporary artists under National Socialism. They conformed to National Socialist taste and the reigning views of art, and were mainly acquired by Nazi functionaries at commercial exhibitions. Adolf Ziegler’s triptych The Four Elements belongs to this group; it was reproduced millions of times during the Nazi regime, and is one of the best-known works of National Socialist artistic production.
