What to expect
Exhibition "Degenerate Art: The Trial of Modern Art under Nazism" - A Must-See Experience at the Musée national Picasso-Paris
From February 18 to May 25, 2025, the Musée national Picasso-Paris invites you to discover an exceptional exhibition: "Degenerate Art: The Trial of Modern Art under Nazism." This exhibition offers a poignant and historical journey through one of the darkest periods in art history, when totalitarian regimes sought to destroy modernity in art in the name of Nazi ideology.
An Iconic Venue: The Musée national Picasso-Paris
Located in the heart of Paris, the Musée national Picasso-Paris is an iconic institution of French culture. Housed in the Hôtel Salé, a magnificent 17th-century building, this museum is dedicated to the work of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, Pablo Picasso. The exhibition on "degenerate art" fits within the museum’s tradition of ambitious exhibitions and deep artistic reflection, staying true to its mission: to preserve, display, and promote Picasso's work while also honoring the modern artists who were persecuted throughout history.
By visiting this exhibition, you not only enter a place rich in history but also immerse yourself in a crucial reflection on the role of art in ideological conflicts and the violent attack that artistic creation suffered under Nazism. This experience allows you to better understand how famous works, like those by Pablo Picasso, Kandinsky, Klee, Nolde, and many others, were perceived as a threat by the Nazi regime.
The Exhibition: A Journey into the Heart of Modern Art History
The exhibition "Degenerate Art: The Trial of Modern Art under Nazism" particularly focuses on the propaganda exhibition titled "Entartete Kunst" (Degenerate Art), organized in 1937 in Munich by the Nazis. Over 700 works by 100 artists were displayed in a deliberately shocking manner, aimed at provoking disgust in the audience toward modern art. The goal of this exhibition was to discredit the avant-garde movements, seen by the regime as a danger to the "purity" of the German race and as a reflection of cultural degeneration.
Through the works of Picasso, Otto Dix, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, and many other artists, you will discover how the Nazis sought to eliminate anything that did not align with their ideological vision of art. The exhibition also explores the use of the term "degeneration," which, in the 19th century, became a central concept to justify racist and anti-Semitic theories that permeated art history.
The exhibition shows that behind the simple aesthetic violence, there was an intent to destroy artistic freedom and silence modern artists. A section of the exhibition is dedicated to reflections on Nazi ideology and its impact on visual culture, with a particular focus on Picasso, who, although not Jewish, was labeled as a "degenerate" artist due to his innovative style and Cubist influences.
