The show was accompanied by the infamous exhibition „Degenerate Art“ („Entartete Kunst“)\, which was initiated by Joseph Goebbels and on view in the Munich Hofgarten close by. For the national socialist regime no other exhibition project had a comparably programmatic and propagandistic significance as the GDK. Explicitly intended to demonstrate the achievements of the regime’s cultural politics\, the sales and exhibitions mirrored both the way the „Third Reich“ conceived of art and of itself as a nation of culture and civilization. Numerous works were purchased by the national socialist elite\, but also by private customers.On October 20\, 2011\, the database GDK Research was launched. The paper will give a short introduction to the database\, explain its various sources\, and deliver a succinct historiography of the art of the national socialist regime. In particular\, however\, this talk will highlight some pertinent questions: \nWhat was the impact of the eight shows (1937-1944)?\nHow do politics and ideology relate to landscapes\, genre scenes\, portraits and still lives?\nAnd where do we stand today?\nWhy is this research on Nazi art important and necessary?\nWhat does the media response to tell us? \nhm 2/14/12 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/questions-and-answers-about-nazi-art/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20120222T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20120222T000000 DTSTAMP:20260418T203116 CREATED:20150928T112836Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112836Z UID:10001811-1329868800-1329868800@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:White Wash DESCRIPTION:“White Wash” explores the complexity of race in America through the eyes of the ocean via the history of African Americans and water culture from slavery\, civil rights wade-ins to surfing in contemporary times. In examining the history of world water culture\, and the history of black identity as it triumphs and evolves in the minds of black surfers\, we learn about the power of transcending race as a constructive phenomenon. Discussion following the screening.

In this talk\, focusing on the end of European empire in the 1970s\, Professor Simpson explains why self-determination came to have such expansive and potentially disruptive meaning in the post-WWII era\, serving as a short-hand for a wide range of claims to sovereignty.\nBradley Simpson received his Ph.D. in history from Northwestern University in 2003. He is assistant professor of history and international affairs at Princeton University and the author of ECONOMISTS WITH GUNS: AUTHORITARIAN DEVELOPMENT AND U.S.-INDONESIAN RELATIONS\, which was published by Stanford University Press in 2008. Professor Simpson is currently working on two book projects\, an international history of the idea self-determination\, and a study of U.S.-Indonesian-international relations during the Suharto era (1966-1998). \nThe talk is sponsored by the Center for Cold War Studies and International History (CCWS) and cosponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center and by the Orfalea Center for Global and International Studies. \nThe event is free and open to the public. A brief reception\, with refreshments\, will follow Prof. Simpson’s presentation.

The first part will give two case studies of material exchange in Eurasia during the first millennium B.C. In the second part the implications of these examples of material exchange for the study of Chinese art will be given\, using illustrations mainly from later Chinese art\, after the introduction of Buddhism into China at the end of the Han dynasty to the early Qing dynasty.\nWang Haicheng is Assistant Professor of Art History at the University of Washington (Seattle). He earned his MA at Peking University (2000) and PhD at Princeton University (2007).
