Art for No One

For artists who did not conform to the system, the years of National Socialism were an era of standstill and isolation. The volume questions this blanket judgement through 14 artist personalities and shows how differently they dealt with ostracism, the lack of audience and the absence of exchange, what possibilities they had for selling and exhibiting their works and to what extent they adapted to the requirements of the Nazi regime. Some 140 paintings, sculptures, drawings and photographs reflect graphically the contradictions of this time.
