The Gallery of Miracles and Madness
The little-known story of Hitler’s war on modern art and the mentally ill. The Prinzhorn collection, a collection of works by schizophrenic patients, inspired a new generation of artists, including Paul Klee, Max Ernst and Salvador Dali. These works would later be used to prepare the ground for mass-murder, when Hitler—a failed artist of the old school—declared war on modern art. This astonishing story lays bare the culture war that paved the way for Hitler's first extermination programme, the psychiatric Holocaust.
