"Tyrol," Franz Marc, 1914.
Marc (1880-1916) was a German Expressionist painter. Although a prominent figure in German Expressionism, his career was tragically short.
He was a founder of The Blue Rider, an arts journal that became the voice of a circle of artists of the time, including Kandinsky. The were Blue Rider exhibitions, where he showed his work and collected good reviews. However, at the outbreak of WWI, he was drafted by the German army and died during the Battle of Verdun.
The Third Reich declared his art "degenerate" and had it pulled from museums and sold to raise money. At least one painting was looted from the home of a Jewish man who was sent to the camps; it was restored to his family only a few years ago. Now Marc's work gets record prices at auctions.
From the Piankothek der Moderne, Munich. (I'm not focusing on that museum solely this week, I swear! I've chosen these randomly but they're all from the same museum...)

Has populism gone that far to make us forget our will to build, create, tell, move, if it can't be marketed? It also doesn't sit right with me how much it fits the "degenerated art" ambiance that's been slowly getting in the air, alongside of #fascism .
As long as people will be allowed to be brainwashed people & ai bots to influence elections for a facist entity, nothing is to be taken lightly.#populism #degenerateart #censorship #artcensorship #forbiddenbooks #bannedbooks #capitalism

Would you do that meme with an artistic semi| abstract photo of a woman vs one of a full portrait from your Lidl catalogue because there's more details, colours?
There has been a huge resurgence of people deeming art>beauty, accuracy as a criteria, common since modern art appeared on the art scene, but is worrying as an absolute and a society level of art, media and global literacy.

All Trump needs to do now is open a museum exhibit containing all the art and items of "improper ideology".

Hans Grundig (1901-1958) was a German artist born to a working class family. After joining the Communist Party he fell in love with Jewish born artist Lea Langer. Langers father objected to her political affiliation as well as her relationship to Grundig and in an attempt to seperate them he sent her to a sanitarium ... Grundig followed. Her father then sent her to Vienna ... again, Grundig followed and there they were married. Grundig’s art was condemned by the Nazi Party and he was deemed a degenerate artist. He was arrested several times and eventually sent to a concentration camp. Langer was able to escape to Palestine where she remained until 1959 when the couple reunited ... both became professors of art

"Nude Girl Lying on a Sofa," Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, 1909.
Kirchner (1888-1938) was an influential German Expressionist, the founder of a group called Die Brücke (The Bridge) that sought to move past formal, academic art and experiment with new forms. He volunteered for service in WWI but suffered a mental breakdown and was released. He later relocated to Switzerland, but as the Nazis came to power and declared his work "degenerate," and he feared a Nazi invasion of Switzerland, he took his own life.
There's a sense of mischief in this woodcut; the girl is guarding her nether parts and giving us only a peep of her breasts, and the smile is naughty. She seems happy it's Friday!
A lot of Kirchner's work was destroyed by the Third Reich, so let's be grateful this has survived.
From the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.

"Self Portrait," Käthe Kollwitz, 1890.
Kollwitz studied at the Munich School for Women Artists, and gained some prominence thanks to her focus on women and the working class, especially depicting the effects of poverty, hunger, and war. She was the first woman elected to the Prussian Academy of Arts.
She stayed in Germany during WWII; while the Nazis disliked her works, they didn't destroy them and despite threats, never put her in a concentration camp, largely because by then she was internationally famous. She lost many drawings and works in the bombing of Berlin, and died herself just days before the German surrender.
The poise and confidence she radiates in this selfie (one of many) are amazing to me.
From the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.

"Self-Portrait," Anita Rée, 1930.
Anita Rée is still little-known today, which is a shame. An independent German during the Weimar period, raised Protestant but part Jewish and part Venezuelan, straddling tradition and Modernism, she had an interesting perspective. Much of her work is haunting and intense and reflects the fears and tension of the time.
She died by suicide in 1933 when the Nazis took over and declared her work "degenerate." Thankfully, her paintings that were to be taken down and destroyed were hidden away by friends, and restored after the war ended.
From the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Hamburg.

They just wanted to tell the truth. Far from homogenous, they ended up "agitating the viewing public to the very depth of its soul." Those German Expressionists—Die Brücke, conveying a feverish delirium, and Der Blaue Reiter, united by a love of nature. Then came the Degenerates. https://www.christies.com/features/german-expressionism-guide-12084-1.aspx?sc_lang=en#fid-12084

"Maschka with Mask," Otto Mueller, c. 1919-21.
A nice bit of German Expressionism. The artist's wife looks sexily over her shoulder, while an odd mask is next to her face. This was painted at a time when their marriage was ending; he seems to be expressing mixed emotions about it, even though he was leaving her for someone else.
A lot of Mueller works were destroyed as "degenerate" by the Third Reich.
From the Museum Folkwang, Essen, Germany.
