Answer:
Books about interior design often seduce but they rarely rattle. Hitler at Home (Yale University Press, $40), inarguably the powder-keg title of the year, accomplishes both in equal measure. Consider the cover photograph, snapped by Eva Braun, the führer’s longtime mistress, and recording a detail of the chalet they secretly shared in the Bavarian Alps. Bordered by an aristocratic doorframe and herringbone parquet stands a highly polished chest of drawers that suavely echoes 18th-century neoclassicism; above it hangs a portrait of the man of the house framed in dramatically stepped gilt-wood, his disembodied head floating against a dark field like the great and powerful Oz.
Die Partei, Arno Breker's statue representing the spirit of the Nazi Party
The Nazi regime in Germany actively promoted and censored forms of art between 1933 and 1945. Upon becoming dictator in 1933, Adolf Hitler gave his personal artistic preference the force of law to a degree rarely known before. In the case of Germany, the model was to be classical Greek and Roman art, seen by Hitler as an art whose exterior form embodied an inner racial ideal.[1] It was, furthermore, to be comprehensible to the average man.[2] This art was to be both heroic and romantic.[2] The Nazis viewed the culture of the Weimar period with disgust. Their response stemmed partly from conservative aesthetics and partly from their determination to use culture as propaganda.[3]
