In the early 1930s, the Nazis began a concerted “cultural purification” campaign in Germany.
This meant that any modern artist — whether of a visual art, literature, music or film persuasion — deemed to be Jewish, Communist, or otherwise un-German was subjected to a variety of sanctions.
During this special presentation by docent Gerry Bates, we'll visit with some of these "degenerate" artists and observe the effect that the Nazi purge had on their lives and work.
Come mingle with fellow members over coffee, pastries and eight centuries of art. Please register below to join us!
