Feist first discusses the work of Willi Sitte and then moves on to a broader discussion of the significance of artistic heritage to GDR artists. Feist points to nineteenth-century realism, the age of Dürer, German art of the 1920s, and German Romanticism. Feist also touches on art education, emphasizing the need for public engagement with the arts.
