Despite the broadening definition of art in the Western world, artworks produced under twentieth-century totalitarian regimes-such as Nazi Germany, fascist Italy, and communist Eastern Bloc countries-remain largely excluded from mainstream art history and museum displays.

Totalitarian Art and Modernity challenges the marginalization of totalitarian-era art by exploring its connections to modernist and avant-garde movements.

Edited by Mikkel Bolt Rasmussen and Jacob Wamberg, this collection aims to rethink the sidelining of totalitarian art, which is often dismissed as mere propaganda rather than recognized as genuine artistic expression.

The book presents eleven essays covering a wide range of topics, including:

  • the concept of totalitarianism and its influence on art
  • exhibitions, monuments, and architecture under totalitarian regimes
  • the roots of totalitarian art in romanticism and heroic realism
  • and how democratic cultures have responded to and interpreted totalitarian art.

By comparing totalitarian art with modernist and avant-garde trends, the book highlights their shared cultural and political contexts, offering fresh insights into their intertwined histories.
