THE FRITZ ASCHER SOCIETY FOR PERSECUTED OSTRACIZED A BANNED ART

Untold Stories of Artists Marginalized and Persecuted by an Authoritarian Regime Discussing and exhibiting artists who were marginalized and persecuted by an authoritarian regime Founded in 2014, The Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted, Ostracized and Banned Art, or FAS, fills a critical gap in knowledge of artists whose lives and work were marginalized, persecuted, or murdered during the Nazi regime (1933-45) and remain largely unknown or under-appreciated. FAS works with historians, university-affiliated scholars, and museum experts to document and share through public lectures, seminars and exhibitions an ever-growing number of stories, and information about these artists and their influences on our culture. Our projects online and in-person provide a forum for audiences to engage around highly-relevant topics in an environment that surpasses ethnic and cultural differences.
