This is an essay for Modernism Art History.
I have to write an expository essay after viewing a (2 hours long) film on youtube “The Architecture of Doom” to answer some of the provided questions.
1) Why
did Hitler attack modern art and design and persecute its creators?
2) What was the official aesthetic of the Third
Reich?
3) How did Nazi cultural ideals, especially
the ideal of beauty, intersect with racist policies, programs, and ultimately genocide?
