The Nazi art policy’s caesura continues to have an impact on art historiography to this day. Ostracism, retraining, confiscation, and occupational bans, all the way to expulsion and deportation, erased the careers of large sections of the contemporary artistic community. The extent of the measures was often more severe for the female representatives of the avant-garde than for their male colleagues, who were often able to seamlessly continue their successes after the end of the Second World War. In order to successively reappraise the history of these unjustly forgotten female artists, a course was held in the winter semester of 2022/23 at the Art History Institute of Freie Universität Berlin in cooperation with the Brücke Museum, the research results of which are presented here in part.
