Beschreibung: It is well documented that Otto Dix’s career was forced to a halt when the Nazis took control of artistic activity in Germany in early 1933. It is little discussed, however, that the activities of a völkisch artists’ group in Dresden, the extreme-nationalist Deutsche Kunstgesellschaft Dresden (German Art Society Dresden, DKD), were instrumental in targeting his work as ‘degenerate’ from as early as 1927, leading to several of his major works being shown in the infamous degenerate art exhibitions organised by the Nazis from mid-1933. This short article traces some of the DKD’s actions against Otto Dix from 1927-33.
