Part 8/12:
On October 15, 1933, Hitler laid the foundation for a new institution to articulate and celebrate the Nazi vision of art—the House of German Art in Munich. In stark contrast to Modernism, Hitler preferred classical styles and representational forms that elevated Aryan ideals. The inauguration of this building culminating in the first "Great German Art Exhibition" in 1937 showcased artworks that adhered to traditional norms, celebrating concepts of war and glorifying Aryan families.
