Degenerate Art Exhibition

The Degenerate Art Exhibition was a 1937 event hosted by the Nazi regime in Germany to discredit modern art styles like Expressionism, Dada, and Surrealism. The Nazis viewed these works as undermining traditional values and promoting "degeneracy." The exhibition displayed confiscated artwork in a negative light, often vandalized and labeled as immoral or un-German. It aimed to promote a narrow ideological view of art aligned with Nazi ideals, leading to the persecution, confiscation, and destruction of many innovative artworks and artists during that era.
