At least, that\u2019s what the Nazis thought when they set about cleaning up the museums plagued by this \"cultural bolshevism\", this \"art of the system\" heralding decadence. Hundreds of artists were blacklisted, thousands of works withdrawn from public collections to be destroyed or sold. Of these, over 700 were first exhibited in Munich in 1937 in a vast exhibition on \"degenerate art\". The Mus\u00e9e Picasso is revisiting this event by bringing together around sixty of these avant-garde paintings and sculptures that threatened German \"purity\"\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\n"}
