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. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 20th century|2fast 650 0 National socialism and art.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85090134 650 0 Art and state|zGermany|xHistory|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009115692 650 0 Art treasures in war|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85008090|zGermany.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n80125931-781 650 0 Nazis|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85090140 |zGermany|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80125931- 781|xArt collections.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99002459 650 0 Art|zGermany|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh91002387|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001237 650 7 National socialism and art.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1033786 650 7 Art and state.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/815435 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Cultural policy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 885007 650 7 Art treasures in war.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 815842 650 7 Nazis.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1035219 650 7 Art museums.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/815631 650 7 Art.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/815177 651 0 Germany|xCultural policy|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008115153|xHistory|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 651 7 Germany.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1210272 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 776 08 |iPrint version:|aPetropoulos, Jonathan.|tFaustian bargain.|dNew York, N.Y. : Oxford University Press, 2000 |z0195129644|w(DLC) 99033372|w(OCoLC)41531808 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=151401|zOnline eBook.
