Art Decade

World War II in Colour
The way that the Nazis staged themselves and presented themselves, my Lord! I'm talking about the films of Leni Riefenstahl and the buildings of Albert Speer and the mass marches and the flags. Just fantastic - really beautiful.
I agree with Ferry's remarks. He's an art student, not a fucking nazi-sympathiser. We're talking about mid-20th century art and architecture. Perhaps for some it's hard to separate image from history. After all, this was the same period of history in which the greatest act of cruelty inflicted on humanself occurred.
