Moses by Werner Peiner
Artist
Werner Peiner
Style
Expressionism
Genre
Religious painting
The painting titled Moses exemplifies a Religious painting that reflects the Nazi regime’s preference for classical forms rooted in Greek and Roman ideals. Executed in Wood, the work emphasizes heroism and romance, aligning with Hitler’s ideology of an art embodying an inner racial ideal intended to be comprehensible to the average viewer. Unlike the Expressionism style favored by the Weimar period, Nazi art aimed for a heroic and nationalistic aesthetic, often used as propaganda to promote conservative values and reject modernist movements.
