Degenerate Art
In the 1920s, Berlin was the art capital of the world, and German Expressionist art, with its passionate distortions, psychological insights, and personal glimpses of inner reality, flourished. This environment changed when the Nazi party came to power in 1933. Adolf Hitler viewed modern art as a symbol of all that was wrong in society, and this hatred generated the infamous art exhibition of 1937 entitled Entartete Kunst, or degenerate art. Six hundred fifty works by 112 artists, among them Ernst Kirchner, Oscar Kokoschka, Otto Dix, Emile Nolde, and Max Beckmann, were displayed. Archival footage of the original show and interviews with artists’ relatives, art critics, and cultural historians complete this picture of government control and artistic censorship.
