What did Nazis label Franz Marc during the 1930s?

  • Degenerate artist

  • National hero

  • Expressionist leader

  • Cultural icon

Answer

The Nazis labeled Franz Marc as a "degenerate artist" during the 1930s due to his abstract and expressionist style, which deviated from the conventional and realistic art preferred by the Nazi regime. This label was part of a broader campaign to suppress artistic expression that did not conform to their ideological and cultural norms, leading to the confiscation and destruction of numerous artworks deemed "degenerate."
