Answer
The Nazi regime labeled his art as "degenerate," a derogatory term used to describe artistic styles and ideas deemed unacceptable or inferior by the Nazi ideology. This led to the suppression and persecution of artists whose works did not conform to the regime's narrow aesthetic and political standards. Many of his artworks were confiscated, and he faced professional isolation and restrictions on exhibiting and selling his work.
