Notes

Abstract: The topic of my research is the 1937 National Socialist exhibition, “Entartete Kunst,” (Degenerate Art) and the ways it influenced the public’s perceptions of the art displayed, as well as modern art in general. Much of the existing scholarship about Entartete Kunst focuses on what Hitler and the Reich’s Culture Chamber deemed “degenerate” versus “healthy” art, and the design of the exhibition itself. My research takes up a different topic—the implications the exhibition would have for the collective German memory of modern art. In this paper, I discuss the topic by analyzing the exhibit with an emphasis on photographs and a reproduction of the exhibition catalog. I consider how effectively this art exhibition served as a propaganda tool for molding public taste and memory.
