Description
1938. ZIEGLER, Hans Severus. Entartete Musik. 32 pp. Thin 8vo, 210 x 150 mm, bound in publisher's illustrated wrappers, in a new cloth folding box. Dusseldorf: Druck und Verlag: 1938. An unusually fine copy of the extremely rare illustrated catalogue from one of the first exhibitions on Nazi-designated "degenerate music," part of the more widespread Nazi campaign against so-called "degenerate art." The pamphlet represents an exemplary graphic work of the time, as well as an important document of Nazi-era art censorship and propaganda. Entartete Musik features a striking cover illustration of an African-American jazz saxophonist against a red background, wearing a Star of David on his lapel - a composite of the genres, ethnicities and political ideologies deemed "degenerate" by the Nazi regime. Additionally, the pamphlet includes portrait photographs of the progenitors of "degenerate music," among them prominent Jewish composers such as Arnold Schönberg and jazz composers such as Ernst Krenek. The catalogue also features black and white reproductions of Paul Klee and Carl Hofer paintings with the caption, "Degenerate Art and Degenerate Music Hand in Hand." A well-preserved copy in fine condition of this iconic object.
