Hard to intuit the nightmare that was, when only thinking about numbers. Art is related to conflict in so many ways — during wars, art is looted as a trophy, art is destroyed as a way of demoralizing opponents, it is used, as mentioned before, as a tool of propaganda in order to generate both psychological and material support for the war effort. PBS had a comprehensive account of the history of the artist and the place he imprinted, calling it a 48 acre art junk yard, in case you are curious. Happy old goat. Mix all together until combined.
