Explore how Expressionist artists sought to convey emotional truth through abstraction, distortion, and bold color, and how their innovations came into conflict with the Nazi regime’s cultural ideology. As the Nazi regime condemned Expressionist work as “Degenerate Art,” many artists faced censorship, exile, and persecution. And yet, their visual language defied oppression and persevered to produce works of art as images and acts of defiance.
