A Colour Box
- ... that Len Lye's abstract animation A Colour Box was protested by Nazis in 1936? "The film's dancing sheets of color instantly aroused the ire of Nazi spectators present in the audience. As the German daily Film-Kurier would later report: 'The English color short A Colour Box…was met with such loud condemnatory stomping that the screening had to be stopped before the film was over.' So degenerate was the film, it seems, that despite being only three minutes in length it could not be screened in its entirety."
- Reviewed: Leptopentacta elongata

Would the following hook be preferable: ... that Nazis protested a 1936 screening of Len Lye's abstract animation A Colour Box and called it degenerate art? I am suggesting this to avoid the passive tense and add a little more context. I am terrible at DYK reviews and hooks though so I understand if you would prefer the original. I just wanted to offer a suggestion. Aoba47 (talk) 04:04, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
- I'd be fine with that. To me it reads better without "and called it degenerate art" because then the hook is that an abstract animation could hold something worthy of protest, but either phrasing would be totally cool with me. hinnk (talk) 05:55, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
