The Degenerate Art exhibit (Entartete Kunst) opened on July 19, 1937 in Munich. Showcasing what the Nazis considered to be the ‘art of decay’, it featured over 650 pieces from a collection of nearly 20,000 works confiscated from German museums. Most artists represented were masters of modern art, including figures like Marc Chagall, Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso and Oskar Kokoschka, as well as German artists like Max Beckmann, Georg Grosz, and even Emil Nolde, who was himself a Nazi Party member. This course will examine the antisemitic history and ideology behind the exhibit while exploring the art and artists at its heart.
NAOMI DAREMBLUM, originally from Costa Rica, is a specialist in Latin American and European history. She has held teaching appointments at New York University and the New School. She is currently teaching courses on history, art and politics at Montgomery College’s Life Learning Institute and Johns Hopkins Osher program.
