From the Paper:

"National Socialism focused on and enforced the link between Romantic ideals and a new vision for Germany. Nazi Germany, along with Italy and Russia, rejected avant-garde art and stipulated regulations for artistic expression. These countries "were driven by utopian ideals and shared a common lineage in the traditions of messianic socialism" (Elliott 14). National Socialism in Germany was obsessed with a singular vision of the future. Ideology toward that end was an ongoing synthesis to meet the needs of the new Reich, and art was made subservient to ideology in order to promote and express the same vision."
