Are these the works that lead to his failure to enter Art School?
I don'know...A curious detail is that in the year Hitler failed to enter in the Vienna Academy, the animator Grim Natwick was accepted.
Yesterday's INDEPENDANT pictured a small oil painting by HITLER which is one of several that are up for sale at a Cornish auction house. It was said have been tucked away in the attic of an elderly Belgian woman. She is expecting to get at least £60,000. (The auctioneer is careful to remind us of HITLER's mediocrity as an artist.)
It is interesting that as time goes by more original 'Hitler' paintings come to light. They seem to have no unifying identity.
Elliot's best work yet.
Yes, Ive seen it. That inspired my posting. Also, one of the suplements had four pages on that other well known mediocre artist, our Tracy. I saw a book on Hitler's "art" and not two of the pictures were by the same artist...The industry on Hitler's fakes is thriving...Maybe we should try our Idi Amins and Saddams Hussein and find a market.
Is just my myopia, or the guy had trouble with perspective?
I think the guy had problems with perspective and many other things.
Yeah, but the root of all his problems was a distorted world view, wasn't it? No amount of effort, hard work and dedication can overcome that.
Now that i think of it, this is sort of scary...
I saw LOTS of supposedly Hitler paintings and what impressed me more was the grafic neutrality...Not anguished expression nor colourful despair...A sense of burgeois self-satisfaction dominated the "oeuvre"...He had the soul of a petit bourgeois, just as all his henchmen and followers had. If the petit burgeois do things like he did, let's be ware of Tony Blair then.
I think i know what you mean... It does look like the work of a particularly boring person, without much to say. That's pretty weird for a person who went trough a war, i would think. The pequeñoburgues factor would explain it.
Unless there's a secret meaning to the slightly-off perspective, he.
Describing Hitler as "a person who went through a war" is very original, to say the least!
I *obviously* meant World War One. He was a corporal or something like that then. Was hospitalized for the effects of gas warfare.
People with artistic sensibilities going trough WWI produced german expressionism.
Hitler went... how to call it... amateur club for grannies.
He didn't have any kind of sensibility at all to start with, hence what followed.
un tierno!
Un incomprendido, no?...O simplemente un guacho!
