Question

which of the following was a characteristic of the nazi approach to degenerate (entartete) art?
it was preserved in secret vaults to be studied by high - ranking officials.
it was exclusively created by members of the national socialist women’s league.
it was publicly exhibited to show how modern art was allegedly corroding german culture.
it was celebrated for its innovative and modernist approach to german culture.

Explanation:

The Nazi regime labeled modern art styles like expressionism, cubism, and surrealism as "degenerate." They organized public exhibitions of this art in 1937 titled Entartete Kunst (Degenerate Art) with the explicit goal of framing these works as harmful to German cultural values, portraying them as a corrupting force. The other options are incorrect: the art was not preserved for official study, not created by the National Socialist Women's League, and was actively condemned, not celebrated.

Answer:

It was publicly exhibited to show how modern art was allegedly 'corroding' German culture.
