Kulturradion: KosmoMakt och estetik - om fascister, Picasso och Marie AntoinetteKosmo handlar om makt och estetik. Mårten Arndtzén har varit på Guggenheimmuseet i Bilbao och sett utställningen "Kaos & Klassicism". Här skildras ett lite bortglömt skede i den moderna konstens historia: den nyklassicistiska strömning som uppstod mellan de två stora världskrigen.
