...only does he know what he likes; he is able to banish from sight in the Third Reich everything he doesn't like. There is a lot of art he doesn't like: 1) the highly individualistic sort (spattery impressionism, cubist geometry, African-influenced neo-primitives, Freudian surrealist nightmares) that made Paris the artistic capital of the pre-war world; 2) art that does not glamorize war and womanhood.
