Hitler vs Picasso and the Others

Munich, 1937: The Nazis hold two exhibitions seeking to defend Aryan values. One exhibition stigmatizes and bans what is considered ​“degenerate art,” while the other glorifies ​“classic art.” These high-profile exhibits marked the beginning of the great Nazi plunder orchestrated by Hitler and Goering. Nearly 80 years have passed since the Nazis launched an attack on what they considered to be the cosmopolitan, communist expressions of art. This fascinating documentary highlights works by famous artists such as Picasso, Botticelli, and Renoir, examining the influence of art in political regimes.
