This is the first book to focus on Helhesten (The Hell-Horse), an
avant-garde artists' collective active during the Nazi occupation
of Denmark and one of the few tangible connections between radical
European art groups from the 1920s to the 1960s. The Danes'
deliberately unskilled painterly abstraction, embrace of the
tradition of dansk folkelighed (the popular) and its iterations of
egalitarianism and consensus reform, called for the political
relevance of art and interrogated the ideologies underlying culture
itself. The group's cultural activism presents an alternative
trajectory of continuity, which challenges the customary view of
World War II as a moment of artistic rupture.
