Hitler's paintings

I like some of them. They have an amateur, simple-minded quality, but some of them are good.

• If he had been accepted into art school, then WW2 and all the attendant horrors might have been avoided.

• When Hitler was denied entrance to art school, was he justified in being pissed and resentful? Looking at his art, did he have talent or was he a hack?

• He was denied, and then went on a rampage.

• He had more talent and showed more depth than George Bush.

• What a loser! Why didn't he go to Paris or Berlin and try to get into an art school there?

• he definitely wasn't a great artist but he would easily be accepted to a decent art school now.

• I would say he had talent, especially if these are unschooled works. Of course, Leni Riefenstahl had talent too. As did Robert Frost, who beat his wife. Talent does not equal a good heart.

• He's very Thomas Kincaid!! If only they'd had QVC back then!

• Robert Frost beat his wife?

• every day

• How much are the paintings worth?

• He painted buildings, primarily. That does not take a lot of skill. No portraits? No people? No Mona Lisa? There...THERE..are subjects that require talent to master.

• Not a bad illustrator, however still a poor artist. He was good at architectural objects, but all of the people are cartoonish and out of proportion and seem to lack a human dimension. I guess he treated people the way he painted them.

  Oy Vey

• They seem lonely and angry. Like John Wayne Gacy painting Thomas Kinkade.

• Looked like he had talent...perhaps he wasn't let into art school because of his VERY sick personality?

• He painted in many styles. Suggests to me an imitative process. More of an illustrator than an artist. Certainly very competent but not original or unique and not even a style of his own.

• The holocaust definitely affects public opinion of his art

• That shit looks like the stuff you'd see at a Starving Artists sale at the Holiday Inn in Cherry Hill on a Sunday in January.

• I can't even draw a straight line!

• Hilter could've painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and people would call his art crap. It's difficult to imagine that a "monster" can be multi-dimensional. It's the same with celebrities and rabid fans who hold onto their every tweet and buy their crappy merchandise.
