Degenerate 'art' exhibition in Berlin in 1938 (b/w photo)

A National Socialist propaganda picture shows selected paintings on display at the Degenerate Art Exhibition in the new department of the National Gallery in Berlin, Germany, 24 February 1938. The paintings are displayed beneath the diffamatory lettering: 'This is the way those 'masters' of decadent art, which had been praised to the skies by Jews and hysterical platitudinarians, 'saw' the world. These were the 'masterpieces' which were paid for by the taxes of the working German people!!!'. The contemporary original caption reads: 'A series of 'masterpieces' on display at the instructive exhibition 'Degenerate Art', which after its great success in Munich can now also be seen in the capital of the Reich, Berlin. The text on the wall explains the depictions, as far as anything about them has to be explained anyway.'
