After the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany, the works from Avant-gardes artists were labeled as « Degenerate Art ».
Artworks were removed from german galleries and artists were forbidden to teach and to create art by the Nazi power.
A series of « Degenerate Art Exhibition » were organized from 1937 by the Nazi propaganda, with the intention to mock the artwork of german Avant-gardes artists and to spread the Nazy racial ideology.
The first "Entartete Kunst" Exhibition took place in Munich.
