"1937 Munich House of German Art Karl Truppe “Being and Passing Away"""

Germany / Third Reich (1933-1945)
The critic Karl Korn lost his wartime job on Das Reich for adversely commenting on Truppe’s painting Being and Passing Away, which Hitler gave as a wedding gift to Bavarian Gauleiter Wagner. By juxtaposing a nude maiden and a fully dressed old crone, Truppe had hit on a variation of the skull-beneath-the head theme, profitably combining eroticism and mock insight.
