Artist camaraderie

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kameradschaft der Künstler was a National Socialist organization based in the Künstlerhaus on Lenbachplatz in Munich , which, following the purges after the Degenerate Art exhibition (1937), held annual sales exhibitions from 1938 to 1943 that were true to the line and according to the National Socialist definition of non-Jewish artists in the Maximilianeum under the name of Munich Art Exhibition organized in memory of the exhibitions in the Munich Glass Palace, which burned down in 1931 . The organization also had a permanent art exhibition at Maximilianstrasse 26.

The association was headed by Adolf Wagner , who had made the Great German Art Exhibition a model, and took over expropriated companies such as Moritz Heymann's painting school or the Otto Bernheimer art house in Munich (both in 1941) in the course of the “ Aryanization ” .
