During Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in the 1930s, one of the many groups he targeted during his quest to remake the world in his image was modern artists. The Nazis confiscated works by Matisse, Van Gogh, Picasso and others, and at a historic art show in 1937 displayed modern art pieces as “degenerate art.” Erin Moriarty of “48 Hours” takes us on a tour of the recreated event at the Neue Galerie in New York City.

Whether you like Modern Art or not, this is a violation of free speech and freedom of expression.
It's funny, how a "failed artist" did much better art than current modern "artists".
Modern art,music,fashion,food,culture and people and everything is becoming degenerative and its not only happening in west but all over the world people are becoming cheap
Bet the people who rejected Hitler from art school really regret it now…
They opened homosexual theaters, were promoting beastality and ridiculing jesus christ ( not that I believe in that bs )

Nah if that artistic terrorism was in France, Greece, America, Japan, China, Persia, Turkey or any other nations it is still trash, gustily, repulsive, dehumanising and degenerative to societal behaviour and culture, it is an act of corporate sponsor to tarnish and purge culture through what they call revolution, which is just a repetitive core principle reciprocated through degenerative behaviour.
modern art is trash, modern artists are trashy.
Modern Art = 💩
I always wondered what hitler did with the University that rejected him for admission into art school.
What? His own art was way more beautiful, and he still got rejected from that art school.
Can you blame him? Modern art is ugly.
Most of people hate modern "art", that doesn't makes them nazis. The only people who enjoy this garbage, are pseudo intellectuals and the people who benefit from this business. Modern "art" is the logic of neoliberalism, apply to the art World.
Can't blame the man for having a good taste in art.
this explains what happens with "art" in USA
Art in the 20th century: Beautiful, realistic art that has a deep story
Art now: Some splotches made by a five year old with a "deep story."
Friggin Siri.
Wonder what he would think if he saw modern art today. He would die of shock

Did anyone see Einstein
If I’m not mistaken wasn’t there some kind of event at Madison Square Garden that showcased Adolph’s singing ability??
At least he did something right. That, and the autobahn. I'm not a fan of his genocide, sterilization, euthanasia, or aggressive war policies, though. 0/10 stars.
Modern art functions as culturally subversive anti-art
None of the people in this comment section seemed to know about art itself. Not saying I’m an expert tho.
I think the critique within modern art runs deeper than a mere criticism of national socialism. Like communism, its intent is meant to subvert western civilization as a whole.
At least gross had talent. Bloody sanitary napkins pass for art nowadays.
Why are the comment section full of nazis 😭
It's interesting to see how the realistic art was preferred. If you are painting at times yourself. Perfectionism is a demon as big as degeneration. The sensation of panic when your confronted with things you are supposed understand and you haven't got a clue, is important to revisit. The newborn child has no words. But taking it out with the trash?
