Thur, May 17, 2012, 6:30pm | LECTURE – Chaos and Order: German Painting Between the Wars - The New Order: The Fate of German Art in the Third Reich - Richard V. West, art historian, Frye Art Museum Director Emeritus, examines the impact of Hitler’s policies on German artists and art institutions, the diaspora of many artists and destruction of their work, the classification of certain artists as “degenerate” based on political, racial or stylistic grounds, and the creation of a governmental apparatus that turned the visual arts into a tool of national propaganda. The lecture illustrates both “degenerate” and “approved” art and how the German and international community responded to art under Nazi control. Tickets available on a space-available basis on the day of the lecture. Fee: Frye members, seniors, students, teachers, artists $10; non-members $15.
