The exhibit 'Degenerate Art: Modern Art on Trial Under the Nazis' at Musée Picasso examines the Nazis' Entartete Kunst exhibition, launched in 1937 to denounce Modern art as 'un-German'. It featured 650 works by prominent artists, and aimed to incite public outrage and support for the regime through propaganda. Drawing over three million visitors, the initiative showcased how effectively the Nazis linked existing prejudices against Modern art with their political goals, reinforcing negative sentiments in a politically volatile period in Germany and Austria.
Entartete Kunst, or 'degenerate art,' served as an orchestrated Nazi propaganda tool, condemning Modern art as un-German and playing on societal prejudices.
The exhibition attracted three million viewers, showcasing the Nazis' ability to manipulate public sentiment and reinforce their anti-modernist agenda.
