The painter Franz Radziwill during National Socialism

Franz Radziwill was one of the most important “Magical Realism” painters. There has been no intensive examination of work from the middle period of this Old Master of Modernism to date. This catalogue presents both new materials from the archives as well as forty major works, created during the Nazi period, which were previously defamed as “Degenerate Art". Essays and commentaries on paintings as well as the documentation of a panel discussion illustrate and interpret current perspectives, making this catalogue an essential foundation for research on this controversial period of Radziwill’s work.
