1 Paret, Peter
An Artist Against the Third Reich: Ernst Barlach, 1933-1938
Cambridge Cambridge University Press 2003 052182138X / 9780521821384 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible 
Cloth, xvi, 191 pp., illus., biblio.; 24 cm. AS NEW. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "The conflict between National Socialism and Ernst Barlach, one of the important sculptors of the twentieth century, is an unusual episode in the history of Hitler's efforts to rid Germany of 'international modernism'. Barlach did not passively accept the confiscation and destruction of his sculptures. He protested the injustice, and continued his work. The author's discussion of Barlach's art and struggle over creative freedom are joined to an analysis of the motives and tactics of Barlach's opponents. Hitler's rejection of modernism, often dismissed as absurd ranting, is instead interpreted as a internally consistent and politically effective critique of liberal Western culture. That some radical national socialists nevertheless advocated a 'Nordic modernism' and tried to win Barlach over indicates the cultural cross-currents running through the early years of the Third Reich. Peter Paret's closely focused study of an artist in a time of crisis seamlessly combines the history of modern Germany and the history of modern art." - Publisher.
