Description

Between 1937 and 1938, already living in Brazil, painter, sculptor, draftsman and engraver Lasar Segall (Vilnius, Lithuania 1889 - Brazil 1957) had 49 works confiscated of German public museums. Of these, 11 participated in the exhibition "Degenerate Art" (Entartete Kunst): three oil paintings and eight engravings. The Lasar Segall Museum exhibition features 24 engravings and the only oil canvas that survived the Nazis, "Eternal Walkers" (Die Ewigen Wanderer, 1919). Additionally, in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Degenerate Artʺ exhibition in 1937, the Museum of Contemporary Art of the University of São Paulo, in partnership with the Lasar Segall Museum, organized the International Seminar "Arte Degenerada 80 Anos: Repercussões no Brasilʺ (Degenerate Art - 80 Years: Repercussions in Brazil). The objective was to reflect on the repercussions in Brazil of the exhibition organized by the German government, led by Adolf Hitler, and on the persecution of modern art by the Brazilian military regime during the first half of the 20th century.
