Crowds at the Dada wall, Degenerate Art exhibition, Munich 1937

A tall gallery with high windows is packed with visitors in hats and summer clothes; on a partition wall above them the words Nehmen Sie Dada ernst! Es lohnt sich are daubed among paintings hung close together, and a man in a peaked cap and uniform stands in the crowd while a woman in a dark hat looks up at the camera. The mocking slogan was taken from George Grosz and the Berlin Dadaists; the organisers hung it to make the visitors laugh at the art on the walls.
