Hitler flower painting to be auctioned for $30,000
Telegraph ^ | 4:33PM GMT 23 Mar 2015 | Kat Brown

Posted on 03/23/2015 9:51:39 PM PDT by a fool in paradise

The still-life watercolour was painted when Adolf Hitler was in his mid-twenties, and sold by his Jewish art dealer Samuel Morgenstern, who was later sent to the Lodz Ghetto...

...The Telegraph's art critic Alastair Smart says of the piece, "The work is of no intrinsic, artistic worth whatsoever. The only vague point of interest might be that, unlike the iffy watercolours of Vienna city we associate with Hitler the painter, this rarity is an iffy watercolour of a pitcher of azalias."...

...Hitler moved to Munich in 1913, having been unable to make a living as a painter.

The Nazis later seized Morgenstern's gallery, and he was deported to the Lodz Ghetto, where he died in 1943. This flower painting has Morgenstern's stamp on the back.

What is not mentioned in the article is whether Hitler painted this picture of a pitcher using his mustache for a brush.

The painting reminds me of one of the old paint-by-number kits.

Somebody should buy it then publically burn it, without any damn video and
finally put an end to it.

The Telegraph’s art critic is blind; those aren’t azaleas, those are zinnias.

God should have given him a world class talent for painting. He might not have gone into politics.

Apparently he was a decent architect though.

Franz Liebekind: You know, not many people knew it, but the Fuhrer was a terrific dancer.
Max: Really, I never dreamed that...
Franz Liebekind: That is because that you were taken in by that verdammte Allied propaganda! Such filthy lies! They told lies! But nobody ever said a bad word about Winston Churchill, did they? No! ‘Win with Winnie!’ Churchill! With his cigars. With his brandy. And his rotten painting, rotten! Hitler - there was a painter! He count paint an entire apartment in one afternoon! Two Coats! Churchill. He couldn’t even say ‘Nazi’. He would say ‘Noooo-zeeehz, Nooooooooooooo-zeeehz!’ It wasn’t Noses! It was Nazis! Churchill!...Let me tell you this! And you’re hearing this straight from the horse. Hitler was better looking than Churchill. He was a better dresser than Churchill. He had more hair! He told funnier jokes! And he could dance the pants off of Churchill!...Churchill!

Those aren’t azaleas in that painting; they’re zinnias. Yes, it sucks as a painting of azaleas, but as a painting of zinnias, it’s not exciting but it’s not horrible.

He relied on Albert Speer and Speer pumped up his ego.
