There was an exhibition called Entartete Künste in the early nineties that ran in Berlin and at a large Californian museum whose name I have forgotten. It gathered together many of the paintings and sculptures from the original Nazi exhibition, as well as materials relating to banned music, journalism film and theatre (hence the German plural in the title). The show catalogue turns up occasionally in libraries and online bookstores. Worth a read.

Scary. Remember Spiro Agnew? " Effete intellectuals" was his phrase. I look at it this way, if art makes an Ur-Republican like S. Agnew pissed, then it's doing its job.
Effete eastern intellectual snobs, please. Bill Safire coined it; at the time he wrote speeches for Spiral.
