Degenerates and Perverts

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Degenerates and Perverts is an art history book written by

Van Gogh,[2]
available at bargain war-time prices. It has been regarded as a missed opportunity for Australia to establish a world-class art collection. The book includes reproductions of many of the artworks, and discusses the story of the exhibition and the myths which have grown up around it.

Degenerates and Perverts was published by the

Victorian Premier's Literary Award
.

The title comes from a comment by art gallery director J. S. McDonald that modern art was "the work of degenerates and perverts".
