Hitler did it, banning most modern art as "degenerate" and ordering it removed from museums (while the Nazis stole masterworks from museums and Jewish families all over Europe). Hitler was a failed artist; he painted in a bland, traditional style and couldn't even get into a prestigious art school. So his revenge was to ban the abstract and modernist art created by the artists (especially Jewish ones) who succeeded where he had failed. In the old USSR, the officially sanctioned style, Socialist Realism, extolled the virtues of communism and the Communist Party, and played a major role in the creation of Stalin’s personality cult. Trump knows nothing of the arts, but he'll get his revenge on the musicians who have refused to perform for his rallies or allow him to use their music. And he'll reward hack artists who will paint and sculpt images of him as a hero - like Stalin did.
