Saturday, we were in #Minneapolis to see the exhibit #Art and Politics in #Germany 1918-1945 at the MIA, featuring incredible masterworks from Berlin's Neue Nationgalerie. It's powerful, and really shook me. The parallels between that period of German history and what we are seeing in the USA today in terms of attempts by state actors to bring the arts to heel, is unmistakable. Strongly recommend this exhibit, and Minneapolis is the place to see it.

@darren A vertical rectangular banner displays large text at the top and a close-up close-up portrait at the bottom against a dark green background. The top section features large pink text that reads "MODERN ART AND POLITICS IN GERMANY 1910–1945" and smaller pink text that reads "Masterworks from the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin". Below the text is a close-up, painterly illustration of a person's face, showing their forehead, eyes, and dark wavy hair. White text at the bottom states, "This exhibition has been organised by the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, in cooperation with the Minneapolis Institute of Art." Further small white text at the base includes "John and Nancy Lindahl Exhibition Endowment Fund".

@darren Saw this show in Albuquerque last fall. Stunning and profound. Don't miss it, if you have a chance.
