The ESLK by the signature stands for ENTARTETE SCHLESIEN LERACH KUNST or ENTARTETE KUNST, which was a term used by the Nazis in reference to most modern art. Works of art that belonged in this group were banned as "Judeo-Bolshevik", or non-German, in nature and perverse. The artists of these works were prohibited from further creative activity.On View
