modernism (blunt was of describing this eara ofr art at this time)

artists were fleing by the time of the war as they were being (hunted?)
their work had been created and had been shown in an exhibition (degenerate) by the natzies so they they could be ridicukled by the public.

freedom of art, artists expressing their own thoughts. this wasn't allowed and was seen as wrong. hence why this art was up in an exhibition to show this was wrong and make people see what was wrong.


Natzies when presenting the art hung painting in unusal places, hung them at wrong angles. hung paintings of distorted faces next to disabitlity to show how bad this was (almost like the artist has created something similar).

attacts the state or abstracts the human form - hitlar didn't agree / didn't like this.

accedemics, thinkers, people who questioned or would of questioned what was happening had to flee.
find some artists and some of their work at the times that they would of fled.
