October 24 Lecture:
1933-1945: Entartete Kunst - Degenerate Art
In 1937, after confiscating more than 5000 modernist and expressionist paintings, sculptures and graphic works, the Nazi party opened the Degenerate Art exhibition in Munich to educate the public on art that Hitler deemed degenerate, debased and decadent in contrast to the concurrent Great German Art exhibition, which was composed of the idealized representational art preferred by Hitler. |
