The Cult of Art in Nazi Germany presents a new interpretation of
National Socialism, arguing that art in the Third Reich was not
simply an instrument of the regime, but actually became a source of
the racist politics upon which its ideology was founded. Through
the myth of the "Aryan race," a race pronounced superior because it
alone creates culture, Nazism asserted art as the sole raison
d'etre of a regime defined by Hitler as the "dictatorship of
genius." Michaud shows the important link between the religious
nature of Nazi art and the political movement, revealing that in
Nazi Germany art was considered to be less a witness of history
than a force capable of producing future, the actor capable of
accelerating the coming of a reality immanent to art itself.
