Synopsis:

This ground-breaking volume documents the extraordinary Entartete Kunst (Degenerate Art) exhibition mounted by the Nazis in 1937 as part of their clearly articulated antimodernist policy. Here, more than 150 surviving masterworks from the original show are collected and illustrated in full color. International experts on Germany in the Nazi period have contributed essays on the purposes of the exposition, aspects of the installation, the significance of the campaign against "degenerate art" as an instrument of government policy, and the concept of "degenerate art" in other fields. Generously illustrated--many never before published--the volume also contains biographies of the artists, a chronology, and data on the fate of the works in the exhibition, including those sold at auction in Lucerne in 1939, and the many believed to be lost or destroyed.
