On July 19, 1937, the exhibition "Entartete Kunst" (Degenerate Art) opened in Munich. On show were 650 paintings and sculptures by 112 artists that were considered out of line with Nazi ideology. The pictures were jammed together with labels insulting the artists. All artwork had been confiscated from 32 German museums. An exhibition catalogue was on sale. It listed and discussed selected works. Expressionism, Impressionism, Surrealism, Cubism and other Avant-garde movements were considered degenerate. The exhibition was initiated by Joseph Goebbels, minister of propaganda, and managed by Adolf Ziegler, president of the Reich Chamber of Arts. The reprint of the exhibition catalogue will be welcomed by scholars of the period as an indispensable primary source offering a valuable perspective on the formation and development of Nazi ideology.
