Critic Hitler
State art in Germany last Sunday received its clearest marching orders since the Nazis came to power in 1933. In Munich for the opening of a new House of German Art, 30,000 Nazis packed into the huge square on the Prinzregenten-Strasse to hear onetime Water-Colorist Adolf Hitler shout:
"Works of art that cannot be understood but need a swollen set of instructions to prove their right to exist and find their way to neurotics . . . will no longer find the road by which they can reach the German nation open. ... If they really paint in this manner because they see things that way, then these unhappy persons should be dealt with in the department of the Ministry of the Interior, where sterilization of the insane is dealt with. . . ."
