This article focuses on the past and present of German art. In the first years after 1945 German art was in a state of confusion. Anything could be produced, everything could be sold-since there was nothing else to buy-so long as it was what the Nazis had forbidden. Groups were formed and geniuses announced, in Berlin, Germany especially, only to disappear again. Expressionism had been dying fifteen years before; but under "reeducation" it was hastily revived and sold to the younger generation as the latest thing in modem art.
