Dada and Hitler

My group talked about the connection of Dada art to Nazism while discussing the Dada article in class today, so I decided to look into it some more. This picture is one of Hitler and other Nazi officials at the Dada wall of the Degenerate Art Exhibition. I learned Hitler used to be a painter and was rejected from Vienna's Academy of Fine Arts twice, so he had a strong opinion of being against art. I thought it was interesting that his personal influence affected his view on art, which was one of the discussion questions during the artist presentations today.
