Degenerate Art In 1927, the National Socialist Society for German Culture was formed. The aim of this organization was to halt the "corruption of art" and inform the people about the relationship between race and art. By 1933, the terms "Jewish," "Degenerate," and "Bolshevik" were in common use to describe almost all modern art. Degenerate art is the English translation of a German term to describe virtually all modern art Those identified as degenerate artists were subjected to sanctions These included being dismissed from teaching positions, being forbidden to exhibit or to sell their art, and in some cases being forbidden to produce art entirely.

Artists of the 1920’s These artists rejected the new business society. And they also questioned the value of politics. Many of them believed that the first World War in Europe had been a terrible mistake. These artists had little faith in the political leaders who came to power after the war. They felt a need to protest the way the world was changing around them.

Serious Art The nineteen twenties was one of the most active and important periods for the more serious arts. Writers, painters and other artists produced some of the greatest work in the nation's history. Many of the nation's serious artists had a different and darker view of society. They were troubled deeply by the changes they saw. They believed that Americans had become too interested in money and wealth.

In the 1920’s, an art show was displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The show caused a huge public debate in the United States. Traditional art critics accused the organizers of the show of trying to overthrow Christianity and American values. Former president, Theodore Roosevelt and others denounced the new art as a threat to the country.

During the Weimar Era, the interwar period (between WW1 and WW2) between 1919 and 1933, Germany filled with the living half-dead. Many soldiers returned from war scarred, crippled and missing limbs. Many men were irreparable, and their widows were left to fend for themselves and their children. For some war widows, prostitution--and the emotional numbness that made that profession bearable--was the only option.

Otto Dix Horrors of War

The war was a horrible thing, but there was something tremendous about it too. I didn't want to miss it at any price. You have to have seen human beings in this unleashed state to know what human nature is... I need to experience all the depths of life for myself, that's why I go out, and that's why I vontunteered.

Kathe Kollwitz Where do all the women who have watched so carefully over their loved ones get the heroism to send them to face the cannon? I toy with the thought (of) . . . mothers standing in a circle defending their children, as a sculpture in the round. --Kollwitz Kollwitz Believed that art should reflect social conditions in one's time. The Nazis forbade her work to be displayed
