George Grosz Degenerated Art Papers

For my first museum paper I went to OSV since it was my first and only choice of venue. I went to the Towne’s House since I was told I would be able to find what I was looking for. After struggling to find a painting that I could read the information on, I saw the various the paintings along some walls and ceilings.

In condemning the type of art, Hitler’s objective is to bring the German’s together and bring pride back into their race, all in the hopes of becoming a superior and pure race.

    One of George’s biggest accomplishments was his paintings with his famous Blue Dog. His Blue Dog artwork was very eye catching to everyone, he got very well known for it and got tossed up to world-wide fame. His renaissance landscape flourished into modern masterpieces. His creativity was outstanding. His landscape Joe's Lost Boat has amazing shading, its a very famous piece of art. His Blue Dog painting,

Why is ¨degenerate art¨ so important? How did Hitler and the Nazis feel about modernism and modernist art and artists? What turned the German people against modernism and modernist art?

The room is cover with black and white photos of the 1930s and 1940s. The lighting of the room felt appropriate to the setting. The photos were place inches away from other photos on the wall. The painting of the wall, which it was gray and baby blue, made the photo have a serious tone to the exhibition. The entrance of the Manzanar exhibit starts off showing the beginning of Japanese immigrating to America. Walking down there a section that shows news articles with hand drawn images of Japanese Imperialism. These drawings were racist and it feud controversy. The rest of the exhibit is photos of Japanese Americans living in internment camps, or suffering prejudge from the public. The best part of the exhibit is the backroom, in which its shows the photos of Ansel Adams. Adams was a popular photographer and he was exposing the condition of the internment camps. People critizes Adams for being a “Japs lover”. This destroy his reputation of being a professional photographer, but his work is later recognize and accepted by in the American Public. One photo that caught my attention was a photo taken by Dorothea

Hitler and the Nazis stole all kinds of art and for many different reasons. Adolf Hitler admired art and culture. He wanted to become an artist, but his application to the Vienna Academy of the Arts was denied. One of his goals was to create the cultural center of the world in his hometown of Linz, Austria. The Führermuseum

He very much disliked and disapproved of modern art and music, which is why those aspects were unfamiliar to the areas that he had controlled. In fact, all Hitler wanted his art to reflect the scenes of a rural family or heroic German figures. He pushed to paint a picture, one that the people could clearly see and believe, which was that he was making Germany great. Hitler even went as far as to idolize himself as a Godly figure. With the painting “In the Beginning was the World” whose title came from a chapter in the New Testament of the Bible, shows Adolf Hitler as a messianic figure instead of Jesus.

This paper will be describing and analyzing the African Art Galleries in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The galleries that will be critiqued in this paper are 350, 351, and 352. Gallery 350 (Samuel H. and Linda M. Lindenbaum Gallery) is an averaged size rectangular room that spans about the length of a sidewalk. The gallery contains several carved wooden sculptures, primarily located in the center of the gallery that immediately take over upon entering. While most objects are not enclosed in cases and are instead freestanding, some works such as the Senufo Face Mask are not freestanding and are supported by a wall in a case allowing for frontal viewing. The Bozo door has a slight relief and can be viewed frontally as it hangs on the wall. Some freestanding works are displayed in cases that are built into the walls of the gallery, which limits the individual’s ability to view the work all the way around. Though external lights bring some brightness into the gallery, they seem to add a muted sepia tone to the room. In the cases against the walls, the lights are installed in the panels above the pieces in order to provide an even distribution of light amongst all of the work. In the entire gallery, the lights are scattered on the ceiling and angled in a way to provide light on each sculpture. The sculptures are arranged in a geographical manner since most of the items are from the people of Mali and Côte D 'ivoire . In this gallery, the pieces are also grouped in a

But, I also agree with the movement directed towards moving away from a Euro-centric view, but that should by no means discredit and limit the size of the exhibit. As introduced earlier in the report, the artwork was mainly consistent of portraiture painting, not giving a lot of variety to the other styles of artwork at the time such as landscape, still life, drawings, architecture, and sculpture. Although art was mainly representative of the wealthy during this time, it would have been nice to see more common–life paintings that bring in the connection to the average person visiting an admission free museum. The price for admission was nothing to scoff at, due to the high quality pieces on display, admission should be taken to make the museum appear more prestigious. In general, however, the museum was well-kept and cleaned thoroughly, but the majority of commentary on the artwork must have been seen as trite, as there is not a lot of commentary. For the general accessibility and these positive gems of artwork, I was thoroughly impressed to find such a great repository of the

The exhibition is organized systematically and chronologically, as well as sequentially. Each segment has a title, supplemented by a detailed description which gives context to the content. This makes for easy transitioning through the various sections of the show. To the curator’s credit, the audience will find these descriptions extremely useful. Without them as a guide it would be difficult to keep track of the sequence in which the objects are organized. The personal accounts of the artist’s experience of the war are also useful. They add a context to the circumstances surrounding the artist during that time. Such a device strengthens the viewer’s understanding of the object being displayed.

Felixmüller received his education from the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden, where he studied at Carl Bantzer's painting class (1912-5). Finishing the academy, the artist was active in several circles centered around journals "Der Sturm", "Die Aktion", and "Menschen", or groups such as the Expressionistische Arbeitsgemeinschaft and the November-Gruppe. Besides, the artist was engaged as a member of the Communist Party and contributed to several leftist magazines. After 1933, his art was defined as "degenerate" by the Third Reich regime, consequently removed from museum and public collections, and included in the exhibition "Entartete Kunst" in Munich (1937). More recently, his work was a subject to a number of exhibitions, including "Art in Berlin 1815-1989" (1989) at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, "Degenerate Art - The Fate of the Avant-Garde in Nazi Germany" (1991), displayed in Los Angeles and Chicago, and retrospectives at Ernst Barlach Haus in Hamburg (2013), Museum Gunzenhauser in Chemnitz (2012), and the Lindenau Museum in Altenburg (2009), among

The fascist art exhibition was a place where fear was concentrated. It was not a place where you could share ideas freely. It was a place where if you wanted to talk, your voice must be a whisper. It was a place where you were told lies, the only way you could find out the truth was being secretive.

troops and other countries that were allied with them , were known as the Allies. The Allies finally got German troops to retreat and were gaining significant ground by pushing German troops back. They slowly invaded many concentration camps and found many places where the Nazis’ hidden art. Many places were mines of some sort. Like coal mines and salt mines were where they found most art works. To get inside the mines they had to blow holes in the sides of them with dynamite or other explosives. Even though blowing holes in the walls is the only way to get in, it did very much damage to some pieces near the hole in the wall. Vincent Van Gogh’s “ Painter on the Road to Tarascon” was burned when U.S. troops bombed Magdeburg. Sometimes they even found art in Germany’s art museums. One piece, the “Portrait of a Young Man”, was found in Hitler’s Fuhrer Museum in 1939. Other pieces that haven’t been found but experts know that they have been stolen by the Nazis are some like “Madonna of Bruges”, “The Astronomer”, and a portrait of Dr. Gachet.

Andy Warhol’s family immigrated to the United States from the town Mikova in Eastern Europe. Andy Warhol was born on August 6, 1928, in Pittsburgh. His name was originally Andrew Warhola, and he was the youngest of three boys. He and his family were dedicated Byzantine Catholics and always attended mass. When he was eight years old, Andy Warhol was diagnosed with St. Vitus Dance, which did not allow him to leave home. During this time Warhol began creating scrapbooks of movie stars and fell in love with Hollywood, cartoons, magazines, and photography. Andy Warhol went to Holmes School and took free art classes at Carnegie Institute. Warhol was not only fascinated with art but also movies, and he frequently went to the local cinema. He also found another love of

In the French Revolution, Industrial Revolution, Russian Revolution, and American Revolution, their incubation and symptomatic stages, all had things in common. We see that in their incubation stages they all started with the people being unhappy about the laws and their leadership. People disagreed with authority, people disliked being unequal, they disliked being controlled, and so they started to do something about it. This led them to their symptomatic stages of protesting, rebelling against laws, harassing guards, etc. Eventually these things all led to a crisis stage of war and death and chaos.
