| | Degenerate art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Degenerate art (from the German: entartete Kunst) was the official platform adopted by the Nazi regime for banning modern art in favor of Heroic Art. | | | While the 1920s to 1940s are considered the heyday of modern art movements, there were conflicting nationalistic movements that resented abstract art, and Germany was no exception. | | | Nordau then used this as a pseudoscientific rationale and a critique of modern art. |

| | Degenerate art - definition of Degenerate art in Encyclopedia |
| | Degenerate art (from the German: entartete Kunst) is a term that became notorious during the Nazi rule of Germany to refer to any art reflecting values or aesthetics contrary to the Aryan ones. | | | In 1937, Nazi authorities purged German museums of art they considered "degenerate." They then took 650 of the works so condemned, and sent them on tour as a special exhibit of "degenerate art." Expressionism was particularly prominent among the so-condemned works. | | | It is therefore somewhat ironic that the concept of degenerate art was first proposed during the late nineteenth century by Max Nordau, the Zionist leader. |

| | Degenerate Art, an exhibition mounted to defame the very art it displayed, was a pivotal event in the Nazi backlash against the arts and cultural life of the late Wilhelmine Empire and the Weimar Republic. | | | From Modern Art to "Degenerate Art" is free to educators. | | | Treating the Degenerate Art exhibition as an isolated incident obscures the deeper cultural debates underlying both the exhibition and the art it defamed. |
