About this talk

Please note: Booking is Essential Political and social upheavals in the nineteen twenties and thirties had a profound effect on art and were to inspire some of the greatest works of modern art in the first half of the twentieth century. Under the Nazis, avant-garde art was condemned as Degenerate, and in 1937 the Entartete Kunst (Degenerate Art) Exhibition in Munich displayed confiscated artistic masterpieces, put on show to be mocked and vilified. Join Val Woodgate, Tate Lecturer, to find out more. In-person: For access to the event, please use the Aldermanbury entrance to Guildhall Library/The London Centre. Online via YouTube: Event link to be sent to attendees 24 hours prior to the talk.
