Crowds before modern paintings, Degenerate Art, Munich 1937

Sunlight falls across a painting of a nude and a canvas of blurred figures as men in suits stand close before them; then a wider view shows a dense crowd in coats and hats before three framed paintings on a plain partition, the edge of the Dada slogan on the left and another scrawled inscription on the right. Adolf Ziegler, president of the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts, had stripped some 650 works from German museums for the show, which opened on 19 July 1937.
