520    Nazi art looting has been the subject of enormous 
       international attention in recent years, and the topic of 
       two history bestsellers, Hector Feliciano's The Lost 
       Museum and Lynn Nicholas's The Rape of Europa. But such 
       books leave us wondering: What made thoughtful, educated, 
       artistic men and women decide to put their talents in the 
       service of a brutal and inhuman regime? This question is 
       the starting point for The Faustian Bargain, Jonathan 
       Petropoulos's study of the key figures in the art world of
       Nazi Germany. Petropoulos follows the careers of these 
       prominent individuals who like Faust, that German 
       archetype, chose to pursue artistic ends through 
       collaboration with diabolical forces. Readers meet Ernst 
       Buchner, the distinguished museum director and expert on 
       Old Master paintings who "repatriated" the Van Eyck 
       brothers' Ghent altarpiece to Germany, and Karl Haberstock,
       an art dealer who filled German museums with works bought 
       virtually at gunpoint from Jewish collectors. Robert 
       Scholz, the leading art critic in the Third Reich, who 
       became an officer in the chief art looting unit in France 
       and Kajetan Muhlmann-and a leading art historian-was 
       probably the single most prolific art plunderer in the war
       (and arguably in history). Finally, there is Arno Breker, 
       a gifted artist who exchanged his modernist style for 
       monumental realism and became Hitler's favorite sculptor. 
       If it is striking that these educated men became part of 
       the Nazi machine, it is more remarkable that most of them 
       rehabilitated their careers and lived comfortably after 
       the war. Petropoulos has discovered a network of these 
       rehabilitated experts that flourished in the postwar 
       period, and he argues that this is a key to the tens of 
       thousands of looted artworks that are still "missing" 
       today. Based on previously unreleased information and 
       recently declassified documents, The Faustian Bargain is a
       gripping read about the art world during this period, and 
       a fascinating examination of the intense relationship 
       between culture and politics in the Third Reich.
