The capital city of art and of our movement is Munich
and it will remain Munich.
Speech of
March 12, 1934 in Munich
The
whole art and literature babbling of cubists, futurists, dadaists etc. is
neither racially based nor bearable for the folk.
Speech of
September 5, 1934 in Nuremberg
It
is... downright wrong to speak of a “new style” to be sought, rather one can
just hope that our best humanity may be chosen by Providence to - from an inner
essence moved by blood - just as sovereignly solve the task presented to us
today as, for example, the Aryan folks of antiquity managed. What this, related
to us past, has handed down to us in constructive and artistically valuable
experience. we wish to utilize and further develop just as freely, just as the
art of the ancients was itself the result of a long-term development. Decisive
is only that we - through the conscious emphasis of the racial substance
bearing our folk as well as the corresponding world-view - create a core, whose
creative spirit can work for long time spans.
Speech of
September 1, 1933 in Nuremberg
It
is... the first task of a new German art development to loosen the cramped
style.
Speech of
September 5, 1934 in Nuremberg
Whoever
only seeks the new for the sake of the new, all too easily errs into the sphere
of foolishness, since the most stupid thing, executed in stone and material,
can all the more easily be the really new thing, because in earlier eras not
every fool was permitted to insult the environment with the misbegotten
creations of a sick mind...But one should take care not to want to see in such
experiments alone already the proof for the significance of a man and his work.
Speech of
September 1, 1933 in Nuremberg
In
every time Providence has given to only a few blessed ones the mission to shape
something really immorally new. They are hence the guides for a long future,
and it is part of the education of a nation to teach the people the necessary
reverence toward these great men; for they are the embodiment of the highest
values of a folk.
Speech of
September 1, 1933 in Nuremberg
Architecture
receives commissions of the greatest magnitude.
