L'Expressionnisme allemand
In 1937, the Nazi government organized a major exhibition to condemn modern art, which they called "degenerate art". More than half the works on view belonged to the expressionist movement which from 1905 to 1924 embodied modernity in Germany: Kandinsky, Nolde, Beckmann, Grosz, Dix, Kokoschka, etc. This attack was part of a long tradition. From the start, the expressionists were regarded as madmen and criminals by the moral order of society and the guardians of the eternal laws of "beauty" and "harmony". Their crime? To paint differently.
