Degenerate Art — term used by the Nazi Party in Germany to describe art that did not support the ideals of Nazism.
Works of confiscated art—including those by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Vincent van Gogh—line the walls of the Schloss Niederschoenhausen storage depot. The Nazi regime confiscated the works as “degenerate” art.
Die grossen blauen Pferde — Franz Marc
Yellow Red Blue, Wassily Klandinsky
The Sitting Woman, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
Magdeburger Ehrenmal, Ernst Barlac
Descent from the Cross, Max Beckmann
Georges Braque, The Guitar
Landschaft mit Gelben Akten, Otto Mueller
Self-portrait with a Shaved Head, Vincent Van Gogh
I’ve taken long looks at at the few that I collected. Degenerate art was not just what they painted — I can see their being offended at nudity and all, but often it was because of the artist themselves. Or who they associated with. Or how much money they could sell their paintings for to finance their side of the war. Incredible.

I’m fascinated by At The Shore by Edgar Ende. I’ve never seen it before.

Thank you. There were sooo many. I had not heard of many of the artists, but I was shocked to see that Van Gogh and Picasso’s work were included.
