Degenerate Art |
Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.04 sec. |
Degenerate ArtArt condemned by the Nazi regime in Germany from 1933. The name was taken from a travelling exhibition mounted by the Nazi Party in 1937 to show modern art as ‘sick’ and ‘decadent’ - a view that fitted with Nazi racial theories. The exhibition was paralleled by the official Great German Art Exhibition to display officially approved artists. However, five times as many people (more than 3 million) saw the former as the latter. Artists condemned included Max Beckmann, Emil Nolde, Wassily Kandinsky, Henri Matisse, Ernst Barlach, and Pablo Picasso. |

Degenerate art might be Picasso and Schoenberg, as it was for Max Nordau in his book Degeneration, but it can just as easily be Norman Rockwell and Mickey Mouse, as it was for the Frankfurt School. Almost as interesting as "The Age of Positivism" is "Totalitarian Arts and Degenerate Art," which deals with the art produced under Europe's various totalitarian regimes of the '30s and '40s. |
