During WW2, the Nazis used both Norwegian and foreign works of art as part of their extensive propaganda. KODE Bergen’s exhibition “Art in Battle” opened autumn 2015, where they recreated parts of the exhibition “Kunst og Ukunst” (Art and Non-Art) that took place in Bergen during WW2 in order to promote the Nazi art ideology. Works that were considered harmful to the public were shown to inflame public opinion against modernism. The catalog also presents examples of what was looked upon as good art by the Nazis. In addition to the art the catalog contains academic articles written for a series of lectures arranged by KODE Bergen in 2014.
