Good article. I’m glad you included the part about the counterfeit art, because I couldn’t help but notice that some of the paintings seemed very different from the others. A closer look shows they have the fake signature.

Bravo Catherine for this interesting article. Humanity will never forget his crimes. His paintings do not show he will become the murderer we all know. Many thanks also Catherine for your comment on my article about Jean-Frédéric Bazille and Male Nude in Painting.

As an artist, I was awayre of this. Hitler also designed buildings, one huge one was never completed but it would have been the worlds largest structure.

Most art critics dismiss Hitler’s work as either juvenalia or derivative – whatever the case the diverse styles above show the schizophrenia developing right in front of our eyes. An interesting and educative article – thanks Catherine!

These are amazing. What about the Snow White ones? Do you know if those are real or fake? I read in an article somewhere that they found some Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (Disney) and they think it belongs to Hitler, because he was a huge Snow White fan. Apparently he thought it was the best movie ever made.

WHY didn’t that school accept him? Imagine all the horrifying things that wouldn’t have happened if they had!

You mention that some of his works were actually fakes, and yet you include fake works in the article.

And the difference between his painting style and the fakes is really kinda obvious.

It’s an interesting article, but it would have been nice if you hadn’t treated the fakes as though they were authentic works.

If there wasn’t Hitler, there would have been another powerful individual who would rise from the masses and would do the same thing. The situation Germany was put into, it was just a matter of time before someone like Hitler came out and lead them. It just happened to be Hitler, but if Hitler got into art school, it would probably have been another person’s name in place of Hitler in history right now.

hitler was a political genius and a military genius.you cant judge a man you never knew you morons.he was a painter,a creator.he also wanted to create a better germany because germany had suffered under the hands of the evil versaille treaty.it is the jews that are evil,they owned all germanys wealth in the 1920s.it is the jews today that rule the world under evil capitalism where the poor are swept aside to suffer.hitler was a socialist and cared for his own people,and when it was a jew that refused hitler entry into the art accademy,they finally got what they deserved.rest easy mein fuhrer.

If he was accepted in school, perhaps he would not find enough reason to kill 6 millions of Jews, Gypsys, Gays/Lesbians and, 25 millions of the peoples of Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. But most of all, the innocent Jews’ descendents would not become worse than he was to another nation whose state they stole afterward.

When I see these pictures and read the comments by other people, I try to see Hitler before he became a dictator. Hitler’s paintings are pretty, but he did not have enough artistic qualities that the school was looking for. (correct me if im wrong).

Best way to spot a Jew in these comments? They use words like “monsters, evil, hateful, diabolical, madness, etc etc” You know what im talking about.

Since the Holohoax never happened what Atrocity are these brainwashed Americans talking about? 3million Jews gassed in a tiny building at Auschwitz? Yeah, and im sure you people still believe in the tooth fairy as well. Get a clue.

The real Holocaust was in Ukraine 1932 were 7-10million Christian were murdered by forced famine. Stalin was bring death and destruction and the Jewish Bolshevik overthrow in Russia was killing innocent Poles, Russians every day.

Americans are just stupid. Its no coincidence the world shares this stereotype. American believe anything they are told. WMD’s in Iraq, Fake Terrorist in Cave controlled by the CIA, Hitler’s bad.. on and on and on.

America attacks the Axis Powers, then turns around and realizes why Europe was fighting the Communist. Guess what the Americans did next? Ba dum ba dum.. they went to war with the Communist. LOL! Cant get any friggin dumber.

America is one gigantic failure. Again, they bomb Serbia who is 90% Christian Orthodox and has been defending Europe’s door from Muslim invasion for 1000+ years. What does America do? they bomb and kill Serbs to protect the Muslim invaders/terrorist in Kosovo. Couple years later what does America declare war on? DING DING DING! “Muslims Terrorist”

You cannot get any dumber then an American. Its simply not possible.

Francis Miville, posted this comment on Jul 27th, 2009

One can have both artistic talent, intellectual genius and genocidal ambitions, that is a plain truth nowadays forgotten or covered up by people who over-identify with their own cultural elite carreers. Take for instance Salvador Dali, even though he remainded a painter, and one of the most gifted of the past century, even though he was the one real genius of the famed surrealist school, he was also a fascist and a totalitarian not unlike any brown-shirt massacre-monger of his times, he himself was an admirer of Franco. In the same way communism started out with exalting scientific discovery over religious common sense, Fascism started out with Nietzsche and others with exalting creative genius over human principles, antisemitism is another code word for trampling upon the golden rule in the name of genius (Jewish law is in principle against pictures, that stands for human talent exalted at the expense of morality), even Jews too like other people are often guilty of the same, in as much as they identify with their own artistic and scientific achievements, which are even greater than the german ones of the 20th century, more than with the divine common sense they are supposed to represent. You may say fascistic regimes are hostile to artistic self-expression and scientific discovery spirit, few realize that the secret ambition of most of these so-called more than human spirits is to be the only ones entitled to create and to leave their marks onto a herd of castrated subjects. Those who burn books, libraries and authors are not illetrate brutes but scholarly advanced people who prefer to deal with a mass of ignoramuses. The world of rock stars and even classical musicians is fuller of power-hungry cynics than the fascist and communist parties proper, John Lennon was even baser is in approach to human issues than Adolf Hitler and Leon Trotsky, he refused to speak to his own father for him having remained a restaurant worker, his musical production looks humanistic only for his market to have been humanistically-fashioned, his real aim was to make it more cynical and make way for the present zeitgeist which is worse than the Weimar republic paradigm. Scientific elites are no better, the few outstanding humanistic figures such as Einstein hide the far greater numbers of those who like Heisenberg don’t give a damn even for the survival of the planet provided their carreer is successful. One even may, with Albert Ellis, speak of an intellectual kind of fascism, which castigates any discrimination based upon skin, sex, flag, creed… but show toward the ordinary people who lead ordinary lives the same contemp as Hitler showed towards conquered people. A purely meritocratic elite based upon liberal humanist ideology could turn out even more murderous in the long run than a racist one for instance. That Hitler started as a not so mediocre figurative painter should be no big surprise to us, after all Nero also had even more justified pretensions to shine onstage than in real life. Hitler and his fellows should also be admired as creative industrial designers ahead of their times, together with the whole Italian fascist avant-garde of the 1920’s, their ambition to beautify the dreary industrial world was not a farce.

It is amazing how many people find reasons to excuse Hitler for his atrocities and even blame his victims ( “if only poor Hitler would have been accepted into art school, he would have been so different…”). The man clearly had talents, but in the end, he was an insane mass murderer of millions of babies, women, and men. There is no excusing what he and his regime did.It makes me shudder to think that even today there are people who are blinded by racial and religious bigoty and who would defend one such as Hitler.

I believe I do own a fairly good sized oil painting of Adolf’s of a Great Dane dog Laying down on a large lawn with some impressionistic looking trees in the background. The Great Dane is Whitish Grey in color with a couple of small black patches and black specks on his face while also on most all his body from his collar all the way back from the front legs including the back legs and tail. It is signed A.H. in the right hand corner. It is a very precise lovely painting of this large dog laying down and comfortably looking to the right hand side of the painting with his head up. I purchased this painting from an art dealer and seller from Sweden or Denmark at the turn of the twentieth first century from eBay, with a description saying signed impressionist painting framed nicely, and is 14 1/4″ X 23 1/8″, believed to have been painted in the first part of the twentieth century up to the twenties. I’m looking for someone who could possibly help me out in knowing if this painting was in fact painted by Hitler. I could send pictures if some one wanted to see it that can help me out that knows his works of art style and brush stroke habits. Thanks.

Hitler was a frustrated artist. His paintings went nowhere when the art school he applied turned him down. I believe he was sensitive to life as demonstrated in his paintings. It came to a head when he knew he couldn’t be fulfilled as a painter. Much like Charles Manson who was a frustated singer. He listened to the devil. He began to hate and pour forth his “Struggles” against the Jews, then to anyone who was against him. He sent his special police out to get them. He was a success at politics. Germans were beaten after WWI, he brought them out of the depressed mood. He was a great speaker, he certainly moved alot of people to a better life. However, his vision was rotten. Listen to some of his speeches. His plans for the future of the German peoples were incorporated in war. Hitler believed in the two social movements in his day, Nationalism and Socialism. With the ideas of National Socialism he believe he could do no wrong. Everything was for the German people, even if they had to die for it. Along with everyone else who resisted his ideas.
I wonder how many frustrated artists who went in politics are out there ?
