Requests:  0 Summary:  "The story of art is integral to the story of the rise of Nazi Germany. Adolf Hitler, an artist himself, was obsessed with art--in particular, the aesthetic of a purified regime, scoured of 'degenerate' influences that characterized Germany during the 1920s and 1930s. When they came to power in 1933, Hitler and Goebbels set their aesthetic vision into motion and removed degenerate art from German life: artists fled the country; museums were purged; and great works disappeared, only a fraction of which were rediscovered at the end of the Second World War. Most remained in garrets and cellars, the last hostages of the era of the Reich. In 2013, 1290 works by Chagall, Picasso, Matisse, Otto Dix, Max Beckmann and others were rediscovered. In Hitler's Last Hostages, Mary Lane brilliantly tells the story of art and the Third Reich, and the fate of Germany's great artists as they fought to survive the Nazi era"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 364.16287 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.16287 Lane Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.16287 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.16287 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.16287 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.16287 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.16287 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.16287 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList
