Lecture: Artistic Modernism in the Weimar Republic
Wednesday, November 20 at 7:00 pm
Held at Maltz Museum
$10 general admission, $5 members
Get enlightened on the revolutionary artistic movements that divided Germany before World War II. Professor Kenneth Ledford, the Hiram C. Haydn Professor in History at Case Western Reserve University, will shed light on artistic movements from the Weimar Republic that focused on the darker sides of modernity after World War I. The art still thrills us today, but its corrosive impact on traditional values and its modernist cynicism created a rift in Germany which ultimately led to the rise of the Nazi Party.
