Visitors before expressionist paintings, Munich 1937

A large canvas of angular bathers and beach umbrellas covers a partition wall; then visitors in straw hats, summer dresses and dark suits stand close before a row of expressionist portraits and figure paintings hung frame to frame, and a heavy man in a peaked cap turns away from the pictures towards the camera. Adolf Ziegler, president of the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts, had gathered the works from German museums on Goebbels' orders; hung crookedly beside scornful slogans and purchase prices, they were meant to be despised.
