An exhibit on this theme had a room about religion, a room about "women, soldiers, and farmers," and phrases grafittied onto the walls, such as "the ideal-cretin and whore," "madness becomes method," and "deliberate sabotage of national defense." This term was first used by Max Nordau, whose similarly named book used the Magdeburg cenotaph of Ernst Barlach as an example of brain flaws. An index of those who exemplified resistance to this tendency was compiled in the Gottbegnadeten list. A leading theorist of this idea was Paul Schultze-Naumburg, who propounded the notion that it could be avoided by emulating Greek and Roman styles, which were untainted by Judaic influences. An exhibit of this kind of work was first organized at Munich in 1937, and the purge of this alleged style involved removing over a thousand Emil Nolde paintings from museums. For 10 points, give this term which the Nazis used to refer to jazz, atonal music, and the works of the Blue Rider, as well as all modernist and anti-war aesthetic works.
