...Still a few more Austrian beauties to post💙👍... a touching and enigmatic painting... the French artist Jean Paul Gazier portrayed a fellow prisoner in the middle of the prisoner-of-war camp near St. Johann im Pongau... the picture indirectly tells the story of the largest Nazi crime on Salzburg soil... the Wehrmacht murdered more than 3800 people here... this small private museum in Salzburg shows works by artists who were branded as degenerate under National Socialism... an entire generation of artists that were not tolerated by the National Socialist regime because of their origins, their beliefs or their political attitudes... in the course of the "Degenerate Art" campaign in 1937, the pictures were removed from public collections and museums, destroyed or, with a bit of luck, hidden... most of them are forgotten today... with this exhibition, these artists and their work should be made visible again... it is one of the most exciting private collection exhibitions in Austria... Big Thanks once more Dustin!【ツ】
"Musicians in the Stalag" is signed in orange at the bottom left: "Gazier Jean / Stalag XVIII C / Markt Pongau, 1942".
The Leipzig-born physician Heinz Böhme has been presenting works from his private collection Art of the Lost Generation.
The Böhme Collection currently includes around 350 works, including oil paintings in particular, and is constantly being expanded. The focus is not on specific styles, but on the biographies of the artists.
