max stern (1872 - 1943)
Max Stern was a German painter and graphic artist of Jewish ancestry, associated with the Düsseldorfer Malerschule. He was originally an Impressionist, but later became an advocate of the New Objectivity.
His career progressed uneventfully until the Nazi takeover in 1933. At that point, he was placed under a professional ban, and expelled from Malkasten. With the establishment of the Reichskulturkammer, it became difficult to obtain painting supplies. Despite this, he and his fellow Jewish artists in the Judische Kulturbund were able to exhibit among themselves until 1936. Shortly after that, in 1937, Joseph Goebbels ordered the confiscation of all "degenerate art", which included Stern's works.
