ROOSTERGNN StaffGLOBAL. Entartete Kunst, or “Degenerate Art,” is a derogatory term coined in the 1920s in Nazi Germany to refer to modern art that went against National Socialism policies. In fact, an Entartete Kunst exhibition opened in Munich in 1937 as a way to publicly criticize works considered to be an insult to the country.
In an Entartete Kunst series, ROOSTERGNN now showcases a selection of the artworks listed in an inventory held by the Victoria & Albert Museum as degenerate.
