By the fall of 1937, the Nazis had removed 16,000 Avant-Garde works from German museums. 650 of these appeared in a touring 4-year exhibition called Entartete Kunst (Degenerate Art). Artists like Beckmann, Chagall, Dix, Grosz, Kandinsky, Klee, Kokoscha, Lahmbruck and founders of German Expressionism Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Franz Marc, Emil Nolde, and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff were included. 150 surviving masterworks were included in a 1991 LACMA expedition from which this catalogue is derived. Essays in the book describe the original exhibition and its cultural and historical context during the Nazi era. A biography of Avant-Garde artists persecuted by the Nazis and the fate of works removed from German museums is detailed.
