At the turn of the last century, the painter and printmaker Fritz Erler (1868–1940) ? co-founder of the artist group Die Scholle ? assumed an independent position between Art Nouveau and Impressionism. In 1914, the nationalist was engaged as a war painter and later executed five war paintings. Although they actually soberly depict the terrors of war, they were later appropriated as aesthetic models for National Socialist propaganda. A fascinating analysis.
