Insanity, Art and Hitler's First Mass-Murder Programme
Charlie EnglishPostscript summary
Paintings and drawings by the inmates of mental hospitals around Germany in the 1920s proved an inspiration for artists including Max Ernst and Paul Klee but the Nazis identified it as 'degenerate'. This art history tells the story of the Prinzhorn Collection and Hitler's campaigns to eradicate modernist art and the mentally ill in the first government extermination scheme.
