Description
Nazi Exhibition Design and Modernism by Michael Tymkiw explores the unexpected relationship between National Socialist exhibitions and modernist design. These exhibitions, often seen as platforms for attacking modern art, also featured surprising formal experimentation among artists, architects, and others. Drawing on the principles of modernism, they aimed to provoke a more engaged spectator experience. This book delves into the motivations behind this experimentation, shedding light on the complex dynamics between art, politics, and design in Nazi Germany.
