Ambassadors of Beauty

Italian Old Master Exhibitions and Fascist Cultural Diplomacy 1930-1940

About this book

Die italienische Kunst verkörpert ein Modell idealer Schönheit, das tief im europÀischen Geschichtsbewusstsein verwurzelt ist. In den 1930er Jahren eignete sich das italo-faschistische Regime dieses Modell an, um kulturpolitische Beziehungen zu anderen Regierungen zu etablieren. Ikonische Meisterwerke italienischer Kunst reisten in Ausstellungen als Botschafter der faschistischen Kulturdiplomatie nach London, Paris, Belgrad und in die USA.

Die Autorin diskutiert Ausstellungen als Begegnungsort von Kunsthistoriographie und Kunstmarkt, Restaurierung und Kulturgutschutz sowie Nationalismus und Internationalismus. Gleichzeitig argumentiert sie die Entwicklung der faschistischen Kulturpolitik Italiens vom ephemeren Triumphalismus der Äthiopienkampagne bis hin zum unerfĂŒllten Traum der Weltausstellung E42.
