A new show examining how some of the Nazis' favourite visual artists were able to successfully continue their work in post-war Germany is set to open in Berlin this week.

Divinely Gifted. National Socialism's Favored Artists In The Federal Republic opens Friday at the German Historical Museum. It traces the careers and works of many who figured on a list of Divinely Gifted artists, compiled in 1944 on behalf of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels.
