A drawing lesson for girls, 1937

From the back of a bright classroom, rows of girls sit at long tables with paint boxes and water jars, their drawings pinned to the wall beside the open windows; in close view a girl in a checked dress with a white collar paints lettering and a small figure on her sheet, and another smiles as she works. Art lessons in 1937 were expected to cultivate German folk and craft traditions; in July 1937 Adolf Ziegler's exhibition of Degenerate Art, gathered from the museums, opened in Munich.
