I think there also something to consider in that they were moving, not even to uglyness per se, but towards non-functional art.
The stuff Hitler did had a big focus on architecture, which is to say art that will be seen every day by the common people. These other paintings and sketches are artistic masturbation, meant only to be seen by other "artists" in a nepotistic circle jerk paid for by the common people, but in no way serving them.
Art should serve to inspire and unite the folk; anything else may as well be on deviantart.
