DESCRIPTION:This illustrated slide lecture looks at the ways in which scul
 pture shaped and responded to the extreme political shifts in early twenti
 eth-century Germany. The era was marked by contradictions: from abstract w
 ar memorials to fascist monuments\, from the representation of broken male
  bodies to the celebration of athletic nudes\, from Expressionism to Class
 icism. Sculpture is particularly sensitive to regime changes because of it
 s public and monumental character. You will gain insights into the fascina
 ting and fantastic sculpture made in Germany during the Weimar years 1919-
 1932 and the equally fascinating dark history of Nazi sculpture 1933-1945.
 \n\nAdmission is by token\, one per person\, available at the Courtyard En
 trance desk on a first-come first-served basis 30 mins before the talk. As
 sisted hearing sets are available.\n\nThis talk is part of Cambridge Festi
 val of Ideas.
