The Disturbing Lessons of the 1937 ‘Degenerate Art’ Show

The article examines the historical context and enduring relevance of the 1937 Nazi-organized 'Degenerate Art Show' (Entartete Kunst) in Munich, which displayed hundreds of works by modern artists like George Grosz, Wassily Kandinsky, and Paul Klee as examples of moral and cultural corruption. It traces the concept's roots in 19th-century Social Darwinism, its adoption by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party to denigrate modern art, and the gradual escalation of cultural purification policies after Hitler seized power in 1933, including the firing of museum directors and the construction of the Haus der Deutschen Kunst.

From men on dog leads to public breast-fondling, Valie Export’s art demanded a total feminist revolution

Valie Export, the pioneering Austrian feminist artist known for her provocative and confrontational performances from the 1960s onward, is the subject of a reflective essay by writer and academic Hettie Judah. The article revisits Export's radical works such as *Hyperbulia* (1973), where she crawled naked through electrified wires; *From the Portfolio of Doggedness* (1968), in which she led a man on a dog lead through Vienna; and *Action Pants: Genital Panic* (1969), where she walked through a cinema with exposed genitals. Judah draws on her own interviews with Export, who died in 2023, and discusses the artist's manifesto demanding that women use art to reshape consciousness and achieve liberation.
