Degenerate Art

Degenerate art was a term that was used by the Nazi's for all modern art, it applied to all art that dint try to depict the natural form or was of nature. All art that was deemed degenerate was banned by the Nazi party as it was seen as a threat and was seen a Jewish or communist and were therefor banned from teaching or painting.

Degenerate art was also the name of an exhibition that was put on by the Nazi party, the purpose of the exhibition was to show the art and the artist as degenerates and for people to laugh at there art and to show how crazy they all were. The art was all so show with text that was show with the art to show how crazy and "degenerate" the art was.

 

Hitler's hatred of modern art seemed to come from his struggle to become an artist in the years before the first world war. Hitler's style of art one that was popular of that time one that was of paintings that were taken from nature and the physical for. Where as modern art depicted images from the subconscious and the mind which was seen unnatural and unskilled.

 

I don't agree with what was happening at the time as It not right to ban something because it is not in line with tradition or your views. I think that there are many reasons for Hitler's hatred for art i.e Hitler's rejection in the art world, his one of and pure race and modern art didn't fall inline with this world and the way the Nazis had a controlled state.
