Degenerate Artists Against Fascism.

On one side of the street you had these very picturesque, Aryan-looking paintings of people with perfect bodies in a very classic artwork. On the other side of the street you had Picasso and Otto Dix and Max Beckmann and Kandinsky and Chagall - work that was stolen and looted by the Nazis and put on display. And two million people came through the Degenerate Art exhibit, it dwarfed the crowd for the official art exhibit, because German people were lining up to say goodbye to Modern art.

Musician Ted Sirota explores the history of banned Degenerate Art (Entartete Kunst) in Hitler's Germany, and the parallels for artists (and everyeone else) in Trump's America.

Ted will be playing live at Saturday's This is Hell! Anniversary Party and Art Show.
