1. Nah his art was bad

Motel level

[Warpy]

2. He was a lot better than Thomas Kinkade.

He just lacked the saccharine sentimentality, the religious angle, and the marketing gimmick.

5. My...talk about setting a bar. I think I just stubbed my toe!

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

17. I flush several pieces of artwork every day better than Thomas Kinkade

[packman]

3. Agreed - but still --

If he had stuck to it, struggled for his art and starved like any self-respecting artist, things might have turned out differently.

19. Looks pretty good to me

I'm no critic but a couple of years of art school and he could have been something.

20. I'm a critic

and Hitler will never have a space in my gallery. Literally Pam tier.

21. If serious, saying that his work is "Literally Pam tier" does not reveal a legitimate criticism.

Now, it would be fair to say that it appears as though several people painted them, as many of the stroke and perception styles differ. This might be explained by the age and mental state of Hitler changing over the years.

4. His art was mediocre, but he should have been allowed into art school to get better.

JMHO.

6. his archtectural drawings are quite nice but he could not do humans. I see

hundreds of worse artists at craft fairs.

7. #1 is damn good

He has the figure down and that's very hard, the hands look dead on the money and so do proportions.
Very Romanesque in nature.

13. nice pic. her hand is a tad too big however IMO nt

18. Trump could only dream of having hands that size.

[Spider Jerusalem]

8. And Mussolini was a novelist (n/t)

9. The top picture (#18) has shadows that are apparently coming from

2 separate light sources.

The tallest tower casts a shadow to its left, and the middle tower casts a shadow to its right.

And Hitler cast a shadow that still falls over much of Europe.

10. "Good draftsman" does not equal "good artist."

Architects do "artist renditions" every day that are every bit as good, but are not art.

11. some i liked some not so much but i only have taste in my mouth.....

good lordy can you imagine him at a nice art fair

wouldn't that be a great plot for a movie.....

do you spose one day a painting of his will be on the antiques roadshow?

[Marengo]

12. Did you by chance see "Look Who's Back"?

[dembotoz]

14. yes i did

[kwassa]

15. Art fair: Hitler's art next to George W. Bush's. Imagine that.

16. Friend of mine who is an artist...

Says the reason Hitler hated Jews was rooted in that Jewish professors denied his entrance to art school.
