Munich Episode 10 Art
A brief history of art in Munich and information on its main art galleries and what to look out for there. Find out about works by Albrecht Dürer, Hams Holbein, the German Romantics like Caspar David Friedrich and the Blue Rider artists such as Wassily Kandinsy and Paul Klee. Hear too about propaganda art and the so-called 'degenerate art' of the Nazi period, which saw Hitler refer to the artists he thought subversive as 'cliques of chatterers, dilettantes and art-frauds.' Finally, hear the story of the Munich Art Hoard, culminating in the discovery in 2012 of Cornelius Gurlitt in his Munich apartment with huge quantities of art which had gone astray during the 1930's and 40's and which had been thought lost forever.
