Beginning Was the Word, ca. 1937.
German artist Hoyer depicted a
quasi-messianic Hitler mesmerizing
an audience with his oratory in the
1920s. The artwork’s title is from
the opening line of the New
Testament Gospel of John: “In
the beginning was the Word, and
the Word was with God, and the
Word was God.” This and 400 other
Nazi-era artworks still considered
politically charged remain in the
U.S. Army’s custody today. U.S.
