Member Lecture—Modern Art in Nazi Germany
This lecture is sold out. All Members will receive the video recording of this lecture via email later this summer.
Join us for a captivating exploration of art, history, and defiance with Melissa Venator, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Assistant Curator of Modern Art at the Saint Louis Art Museum and author of German Expressionism: Paintings at the Saint Louis Art Museum.
Discover the extraordinary journey of the Museum’s collection of modern German art—one of the finest in the nation. These artworks, once targeted for destruction during Nazi Germany’s 12-year campaign against modern art, carry stories of resilience and survival. Through Venator’s expert insights, you’ll delve into the powerful narratives behind these works and the artists who created them, offering a profound glimpse into a pivotal chapter in art history.
