Abstract (en)

The reviewer comments on the suppression, in both the United States and Germany, of the visual culture of Nazism; and examines issues raised by its restoration to public scrutiny. Compares the re-entry of French academic art into the academic pantheon, noting how this process endows the art with renewed authority and how Adam's survey of German art, 1933-1945, tries to forestall this. The reviewer commends Steinweis's focus on institutions, specifically the Reichskulturkammer (founded by Goebbels in 1933), and his efforts to ascertain the effect of Nazi politics on the various arenas of culture and to achieve a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between the Nazi regime and the German art world.
