	Max Nordau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Max Simon Nordau (July 29, 1849 - January 23, 1923), born Simon Maximilian Südfeld, Südfeld Simon Miksa in Pest, Hungary, was a Zionist leader, physician, author, and social critic.
		Nordau's major work Entartung (Degeneration), is an essentially philistine and moralistic attack on so-called degenerate art, as well as a polemic against the effects of a range of the rising social phenomena of the period, such as rapid urbanization and its perceived effects on the human body.
		Nordau saw in Jewish Emancipation the result of 'a regular equation: Every man is born with certain rights; the Jews are human beings, consequently the Jews are born to own the rights of man.' This Emancipation was written in the statute books of Europe, but contrasted with popular social consciousness.

	Degenerate art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nordau attacked the Symbolist movement in French literature, describing their mysticism as a product of mental pathology, as well as Aestheticism in English literature and Impressionism in painting (he explained Impressionist painterliness as the sign of a diseased visual cortex).
		Despite the fact that Nordau was Jewish (so was Lombroso), his pseudoscientific theory of artistic degeneracy was seized upon by German National Socialists during the Weimar Republic as a rallying point for their anti-semitic and racist demand for Aryan purity in art.
		Max Ernst emigrated to America with the assistance of Peggy Guggenheim.

		To Nordau, strongly committed to a belief in altruism, an egoistic philosophy had to be a perverse and retrograde error.
		Nordau's values are those of the prohibitionist, holding that it is possible to lay down a pattern of happiness to which we have the right to expect people to adapt.
		Nordau's position would be as acceptable as his own, and that conception of social hygiene would be an adequate reason for ignoring or suppressing ideas and practices that conflict with it.

		According to Nordau, artists were victims of modern life and suffered from decayed brain centers.
		Nordau developed this premise into a critique of modern art, asserting that modern artists suffered from the same atavistic degeneracy as Lombroso's born criminals.
		For Nordau, all forms of modern art, whether music, poetry, or visual revealed symptoms of mental disorder and nervous excitement.

		It is therefore somewhat ironic that the concept of degenerate art was first proposed during the late nineteenth century by Max Nordau, the Zionist leader.
		Nordau was a follower of Cesare Lombroso, an Italian anthropologist and criminologist, who formulated a theory that criminals displayed traits of atavism and represented a hereditarily degenerate group of humans.
		Nordau imagined that he found signs of this atavism in many poets, painters, and literary figures of his day, primarily among the followers of Symbolism and Impressionism.

		Max Nordau (1849-1923), physician, journalist and cultural critic, the second most important Zionist after Theodor Herzl, famous overnight at 34 through his "The Conventional Lies of the Cultured," definitively shaped a decade later with "Degeneration" the intellectual and conceptual history of the fin de siècle.

		It is Max Nordau, right-hand man to Zionist visionary Theodor Herzl, who is typically credited with the creation of what would become the Maccabi organization.
		Nordau saw sport as serving the Zionist idea of “awakening Judaism to new life.” His critique concerning the poor physical condition of Europe’s Jews helped to spur on the creation of Jewish sports associations.
		Nordau’s push of sport as a critical component of Jewish life, coupled with the centrality of Istanbul as a hub of international Zionist activity, put the Istanbul club center stage, and it benefited from visits by and support from Zionist leaders.

	The New York Review of Books: Lord Trouble
		In Berlin in 1892, Max Nordau published his extraordinary book Entartung, or 'Degeneration.' Dedicated to the pseudoscientist and (let me risk a tautology) phrenologist Cesare Lombroso, this dense and lengthy diatribe sought to lay bare the origins and effects of national and individual self-hatred and self-destructiveness.
		Directed at the languor and amorality of what Nordau was already terming the 'fin de siècle,' it exalted the 'normal,' the 'manly,' and the utilitarian over the neurotic and the aesthete.
		Herr Nordau had some unresolved difficulties of his own--he had changed his name from Südfeld or 'Southern Field' to the more bracing and valiant-sounding 'Northern Meadow'--and he was the most militant deputy of Theodor Herzl in proposing a Zionist solution to the Luftmensch question; the nagging problem of the enfeebled and deracinated and feminized Jew.
