L'Art "dégénéré": le procès de l'art moderne sous le nazisme

The first exhibition in France devoted to so-called “degenerate” art, this show at the Musée national Picasso explores and puts into perspective the Nazi regime's methodical attack on modern art and the place of Pablo Picasso, the archetypal “degenerate” artist, in this narrative. “L'art dégénéré: le procès de l'art moderne sous le nazisme" studies in particular a propaganda exhibition that was held in Munich in 1937, and will feature over 700 works by a hundred artists representing the different currents of modern art, from Otto Dix to Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, from Vassily Kandinsky to Emil Nolde, from Paul Klee to Max Beckmann, in a staging designed to provoke the visitors' disgust.
