The Nazis came to power at the beginning of 1933 and destroyed Alfred’s life and business almost overnight. His Jewish faith, his flamboyant reputation and his ardent support of the avant-garde exposed him to unparalleled persecution. Flechtheim was refused membership of the “Reichskammer der bildenden Knste” that became compulsory from September 1933 onward, and in effect this amounted to a ban on his ability to work as an art dealer. For the Nazis Flechtheim was the personification of the Jewish ‘Untermensch’ and was called and enemy ‘Aryan’ race and the Nazi state. He wrote to his niece Thea Löwenstein: “What is to come of me, only God knows. I have to get away from here. Whether in Florence or (elsewhere). Whether I can earn anything. I don’t know. I can’t run a business any more here in Germany.” In October 1933 his decision to emigrate became final. “Yesterday I left Berlin forever. My galleries there and in Dusseldorf are to be closed. There is no place for me here.” (English)

En los años 20, Alfred Flechtheim fue uno de los primeros en allanar el camino en Alemania para el movimiento cubista, entonces representado por Aristide Maillol, Georges Braque, Juan Gris y Pablo Picasso. Promovía por igual a artistas de renombre y a los que en ese momento todavía nadie conocía y nadie apoyaba, entre ellos Max Beckmann, George Grosz y Paul Klee. Entre 1919 y 1933, Flechtheim organizó cerca de 150 exposiciones, a lo largo de toda Europa.De ahí que haya sido uno de los primeros “objetivos” de los nazis cuando llegaron al poder, pues no sólo era toda una institución, y muy respetada, en la República de Weimar, sino que representaba el arte moderno, que para Hitler y sus seguidores era ‘degenerado’, no servía para nada. El 11 de marzo de 1933, luego de que las autoridades interrumpieran de manera violenta una subasta que realizaba, Flechtheim decidió cerrar sus galerías en Berlín y Düsseldorf, pero la persecución no se detuvo sino todo lo contrario, por lo cual quebró y meses después se vio obligado a huir y exiliarse en Londres, donde finalmente murió, en 1937.Según los descendientes de Flechtheim, fue precisamente por huir para salvar su vida que muchas de las obras de arte de su colección fueron robadas y comenzaron a cambiar de manos. Las cinco esculturas de Degas que aseguran pertenecían a su antepasado y hoy están en el MASP son: (Portuguese)

A collection of famous works originally owned by German Jewish art dealer Alfred Flechtheim—which includes eight paintings by Max Beckmann, Juan Gris, and Paul Klee—is under dispute, as Flechtheim’s heirs have filed a complaint against the German federal state of Bavaria for the return of the what they argue to be Nazi-looted artworks.
