In 1937, thousands of works by the Brucke artists were confiscated
from German museums by the National Socialist authorities, and
numerous icons of Expressionism were shown in the traveling
exhibition "Degenerate Art". The volume takes a critical look at
the fates and the artistic praxis of the former "Brucke" members in
the years after 1933. On the basis of numerous sources which have
hitherto not been analyzed, today's popular image of Expressionism,
its vilification as "degenerate" and the creation of the legend

Based on the extensive stocks of the Brucke-Museum, the publication

"Brucke" members as a result of Nazi art policy are explained,
together with the direct effects on their creative work and the
self-image of the painters within the context of the times.
