Through the myth of the \"Aryan race,\" a race pronounced superior because it alone creates culture, Nazism asserted art as the sole raison d'黎re of a regime defined by Hitler as the \"dictatorship of genius.\" Michaud shows the important link between the religious nature of Nazi art and the political movement, revealing that in Nazi Germany art was considered to be less a witness of history than a force capable of producing future, the actor capable of accelerating the coming of a reality immanent to art itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Michaud\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804743266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804743266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.64h x 6.44w x 1.00d","brand":"Eric Michaud","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43947216601343,"sku":"9780804743266","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ef7153d3-2f94-4967-a3d5-8508e1fdc071.jpg?v=1681517416","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cult-of-art-in-eric-michaud-9780804743266","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
