That's your presumptuous opinion. Let's see YOU paint something like it with oil paint. Sometimes back then artist had to make their own paint also.
Lovely painting of Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg from the 1920s.
Pajama Boy’s grandfather’s portrait of Pajama Boy’s grandma.
LOL!
What a d### you are :)
Hope a spouse doesn’t have to live with you 24/7 :)
As someone already pointed out, Hitler didn't paint people very well and left them out of many of his cityscapes, which were good enough for sidewalk sales, apparently, because they supported him, more or less. He might have gotten by as a third-rate architect, or so Speer said many years later when it was safe to do so. The only things he really did well were orate and perform devious political manipulation, good enough to best Hindenburg in his dotage, who was no slouch at it either when he was younger. Strange, inadequate, and very, very evil man.
This is just getting ridiculous now
That’s not too bad. Maybe they weren’t into self portraits?
Canvas?
I thought it was black velvet!
I recall reading that Hitler was a post card painter in Vienna, 1906 when he first joined the Christian Socialist movement and became anti Jew.
“1913: When Hitler, Trotsky, Tito, Freud and Stalin all lived in the same place”
He had been born Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili, was known to his friends as Koba and is now remembered as Joseph Stalin.
Trotsky and Stalin were just two of a number of men who lived in central Vienna in 1913 and whose lives were destined to mould, indeed to shatter, much of the 20th century.
It was a disparate group. The two revolutionaries, Stalin and Trotsky, were on the run. Sigmund Freud was already well established.
The psychoanalyst, exalted by followers as the man who opened up the secrets of the mind, lived and practised on the city’s Berggasse.
The young Josip Broz, later to find fame as Yugoslavia’s leader Marshal Tito, worked at the Daimler automobile factory in Wiener Neustadt, a town south of Vienna, and sought employment, money and good times.
Then there was the 24-year-old from the north-west of Austria whose dreams of studying painting at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts had been twice dashed and who now lodged in a doss-house in Meldermannstrasse near the Danube, one Adolf Hitler.
If I were Hitler’s Vienna Art Academy Mentor, I would have told him to ease off on the black.
The truth of it is, they would probably be fine with the paintings if they came from a transsexual, a lesbo, or from a minority.
They would then be telling us how the paintings expressed sadness from being crushed by the demands of evil white men. It’s easily better than half of what is hanging in art museums today.
Old W really has turned out to be quite the douche.
Now I understand Jeb! better.
After you destroy the painting he made, would you stamp your feet? Do you think there are ghosts in it or something?
I got a reply in a couple of weeks that said I had promise and that for $X I could and should enroll in whatever school was promoting themselves on the back of comic books and that I would have a personal instructor as I advanced in my drawing career.
Or something like that.
"We like to refer to this one as Der glückliche kleine Unfall des Führers"
Lol!!
> Do you think there are ghosts in it [the Hitler painting] or something? <
No, of course not. But I would not permit anything to exist that could be used as an object of veneration by Hitler’s admirers.
Think about pirates for a moment. They were monsters. But with the passage of time, pirates have become folk heroes of a sort. ‘Talk Like a Pirate Day’ and all that. We must not allow Hitler to drift into that state. Destroy anything that touched his hand.
It looks like a supreme court justice with a man’s haircut.
