Otto Dix, an Expressionist artist was viewed with immediate distrust by the Nazi Party & immediately labeled as a Degenerate Artist. His '33 painting The Seven Deadly Sins is an allegory of the Nazi Party. Some of his work was discovered only 10 years ago in the “Munich Art Hoard“

vivastory European & Non-European art was widely distributed across the globe as a result of the Nazi Party & WWII. This has been documented extensively & efforts of establishing provenance continue to this day. I have made multiple visits to the St Louis Art Museum which houses one of the greatest collections of German Expressionist collections in the world. 1y
