Schwitters' art was declared "degenerate" by whom?
The United Nations
The Surrealist Group
The Nazi Regime
The Bauhaus School
Answer
The Nazi regime labelled Schwitters' art as "degenerate" due to its abstract and experimental nature, considering it a deviation from traditional artistic norms and a threat to their ideological vision of art promoting racial purity and nationalistic ideals. This declaration resulted in the suppression of Schwitters' work and many other avant-garde artists, leading to their marginalization and persecution during the Nazi era.
