Entartete Kunst: Ausstellung der NSDAP im Haus der Kunst am Königsplatz (poster)

A pink-and-black linocut poster shows the words 'Entartete Kunst' in jagged lettering, with a mask-like face at top right and a jagged face shape at left, over the lines 'Ausstellung der NSDAP im Haus der Kunst am Königsplatz' and 'Karten zu ermäßigten Vorverkaufspreisen hier'. The poster itself uses the label 'degenerate' as the exhibition title.
