Summary: The art of the avant-garde, the “degenerate art,” combated by the National Socialists has been widely researched and exhibited to the public in recent decades. The conformist, “good” art aligned with National Socialist ideology, in contrast, silently disappeared into warehouses after 1945. Art was supposed to stabilize the system, hearten in difficult times, and communicate values such as a fighting spirit, family, and tradition. The publication knowledgeably shows that the artworks did truly completely lack any critical potential or humanist aspirations. It also documents the inner conflict of the time and juxtaposes works that conformed to the regime with those by critical, persecuted artists. The important question of what happened to the “good” artists after the end of the war is also addressed.
