Hitler's Degenerate Art - The Exhibition Catalogue - First published in 1937 as "Entartete Kunst Austellungsührer' Foxley BooksOn July 19, 1937, the exhibition "Entartete Kunst" (Degenerate Art) opened in Munich. On show were 650 paintings and sculptures by 112 artists that were considered out of line with Nazi ideology. The pictures were jammed together with labels insulting the artists. All artwork had been confiscated from 32 German museums. An exhibition catalogue was on sale. It listed and discussed selected works. Expressionism, Impressionism, Surrealism, Cubism and other Avant-garde movements were considered degenerate. The exhibition was initiated by Joseph Goebbels, minister of propaganda, and managed by Adolf Ziegler, president of the Reich Chamber of Arts. The reprint of the exhibition catalogue will be welcomed by scholars of the period as an indispensable primary source offering a valuable perspective on the formation and development of Nazi ideology. The Gentle Degenerates by Marco Vassie-reads.comMarco Vassi was possibly the greatest erotic writer of his generation. His first publisher at Olympia Press, Maurice Girodias, compares his talent for prose to Henry Miller's writing. His sexual explorations and literary talent are the foundations of nine novels written between 1970 and 1976. Although his life was cut short, his memory lives on with the release of The Vassi Collection. The collection includes nine fiction titles and his autobiographical memoir, THE STONED APOCALYPSE, which follows his sexual liberation while on a trip he took in the sixties. Join Vassi in his exploration of the human sexual and spiritual experience. In THE GENTLE DEGENERATES, a young man let loose in the human potential movement travels from one end of the country to the other, opening himself to all the possible variations of sexual experience and trying to find love in the midst of explosive and unlimited sensuality. Degenerate Art by Stephanie BarronHarry N. AbramsWhen the National Socialists came to power in Germany in the early 1930s, one of their most vigorous campaigns was against modernist and avant-garde art. Some 650 works by such renowned artists as Max Beckmann, Marc Chagall, Otto Dix, Wassily Kandinsky, and Paul Klee were removed from German museums and assembled in a traveling exhibition that the Nazis called "Degenerate Art." Fifty years later, the L.A. County Museum of Art reconstructed the notorious exhibition. This catalogue not only recreates the original show, but contains exhaustively researched essays on such topics as the Nazi ideals of beauty and resistance efforts by some German museums. Biographical information is available for each persecuted artist as well as rare photographs, and there is a room by room survey of and guide to the 1939 exhibition with a new English translation. Artistic expression is still under attack by such groups as the NEA, making this book strikingly relevant today. Degenerate Art Fate of the Avant-Garde in Nazi Germany Los Angeles County Museum Of ArtGenerously illustrated with many photos never before published, this volume also contains biographical information on each artist pertinent to the Nazi persecution of the avant-garde. Darwinism and the Rise of Degenerate Science by Paul BackPleasant Word-A Division of WinePress PublishingDarwin's theory of evolution quickly pervaded Western thought, and became regarded as scientific "fact" that no intelligent person would dispute. Darwinism and the Rise of Degenerate Science challenges that presumption and demonstrates that the theory of evolution does not have a solid fact-based scientific foundation. Rather it is based on faith that chance alone can explain everything in the cosmos, including life on earth. The acceptance of Darwinism has given rise to degenerate science. Science once followed the truth wherever it led, but in the case of evolution scientists attempt to mould and force their observations to fit the preconceived model of their theory. What does Darwinian evolution claim for itself? How do these claims stack up in light of available scientifi c evidence? Within these pages you will discover that many of the constructs of evolution are based on fantasies devoid of scientific credibility. Other branches of science would not entertain basing findings on faith rather than fact. After examining the facts, will you continue to place your faith in evolution, or a more credible explanation for man's existence? Degenerate by George WilliamsTexas Review PressA two year old mystery. A missing daughter. A cross country road trip. Chris, an aerospace engineer, is on a mission. He abandons his life in Savannah and drives west. Along the way, first in New Orleans and then in Austin, he picks up passengers. Julia, a Czech woman fleeing a boyfriend and business partner, and JC, the daughter of a Baptist minister, who on a manic whim joins them and leaves her life in Austin behind. Displaced, in flight from their respective pasts, with Chris planning a revenge he may not have the nerve or the opportunity to exact, the three form shifting alliances and friendships as they drive across Texas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and California. In Los Angeles, they rent a house in Venice Beach and explore the city—graveyards, art districts, the L.A. County Coroner’s Office, Catalina Island, bars, boardwalks, promenades, tar pits, dances clubs, flight museums. On Christmas Eve in a Holmby Hills mansion, the story culminates in a confrontation with the man Chris believes to be partly responsible for the disappearance of his daughter. Degenerate is a road trip novel out of Kerouac and Nabokov, a comedy of revenge and satire about Los Angeles that brings to mind Nathaniel West and a story of love and loss at turns lyrical, hilarious and heartbreaking.
