Jacqueline Strecker noted that Dresden was already a conservative city politically and that the newly appointed director of the Dresden Art Academy was even more conservative. The Lord Mayor of Dresden was dressed in full Nazi uniform when he toured the exhibition in 1933.
But what does it mean when we note that the first decadent art exhibition was put on by the Nazis in 1933 and not in 1937? Simple... the Nazis had clearly worked out their ideology as soon as they came to power! Thus no one in Germany could say in 1933 that they didn't realise what Nazism was going to mean for the country and its citizens.
The Reflections of Decadence exhibition from Dresden eventually toured to at least eight German cities between 1934 and 1936, before it was finally incorporated into the much larger and more infamous Degenerate Art Exhibition held in

During the late sixties while studying what was then known as Product Design (Engineering) at Birmingham College of Art & Design, (now Birmingham City University), I had the good fortune to be a student of Naum Slutzky, who was still teaching at the age of 70. Slutzky began as a young Master at the Bauhaus in Weimar, reporting directly to Swiss expressionist painter, designer, writer, theorist, and teacher, Johannes Itten, working in the precious metals workshop he later shared with Laslo Moholy-Nagy.
When I met Slutzky, he looked singularly like a miniature Leon Trotsky, and while lacking the latter’s revolutionary zeal, appeared to be in a state of perpetual indignation.
