The Politics, Ideology and Aesthetics of the Hitler State - with Dr. Patrick Jung from the Milwaukee School of Engineering

Saturday Feb 21 @1pm

When imagining art from Nazi Germany, many envision political imagery filled with stormtroopers and swastikas—a perception largely shaped by American anti-Nazi propaganda. However, recent scholarship reveals that such overt political themes were actually rare; instead, traditional landscapes and portraits dominated the era. Dr. Patrick J. Jung explores why our understanding of this period has been so skewed and how modern art historians have spent the last few decades re-examining these works to provide a more balanced perspective.

Join us for a cozy afternoon at the museum. Event is free and open to the public.
