German Expressionists & The Third Reich follows the story of Hitler’s purge on modernist culture of art, music and literature. In addition to works by the German Expressionists, it will also include those by artists that were designated Entartete (degenerate) by the Third Reich. Among them Adler, Arp, Bissier, Bloch, Blumenfeld, Delaunay, Dix, van Dongen, Elkan, Ehrlich, Ernst, Feininger, Goldschmidt, Goroncharova, Gotlieb, Grosz, Hartung, Henri, Klimt, Klopfleisch, Kollwitz, Kupka, Lieberman, List, Lomnitz, Marc, Matisse, Meidner, Mondrian, Munch, Nolde, Picasso, Rohlfs, Rosenbaum, Roualt, Savendy, Schiele and Schwitters.
The story will be illuminated by original ‘20s, ‘30s & ‘40s collages and caricatures, depicting many of the key political and other figures, by Fritz Josefovicz (Joss), who himself escaped to England from Vienna in 1933.
The exhibition is accompanied by an extensive programme of German Expressionist related music, lectures, talks, discussions and films. For details see Art Exhibitions And Events 2024 // Holt Festival
