Dada and Hitler

Adolf Hitler and other Nazi officials at the Dada wall at the Degenerate Art exhibition, July 16, 19

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.
