Lecture: Art, Modernism, Degeneration, and Jews

Held at Maltz Museum
$10 general admission, $5 members
Learn about the history behind the 1938 “Degenerate Art” (Entartete Kunst) exhibition in Munich led by Professor Kenneth Ledford, the Hiram C. Haydn Professor in History at Case Western Reserve University. This enlightening lecture examines the nexus of cultural and political events that polarized attitudes toward modernity, prompting many to long for a fictional placid past that ignored the changes of modernity.
