Hitler Painting on Show for First Time at Italy Museum
BBC ^ | 3-10-2017 | Staff

The exhibition's curator sees little artistic merit in the undated painting. "It's a piece of crap," says curator Vittorio Sgarbi. "It's a painting by a hopeless man, it could have been done by Kafka, it says a lot about his psyche: here you do not see greatness, you see misery."

Hitler famously applied to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts in the 1900s but was rejected twice. Despite being considered a mediocre artist, his work has fetched considerable sums at auction in recent years.

I too find the pic intriguing. Mysterious, as it were, dark like Hitler’s soul. I’ve seen some of his landscape pics, and architectural drawings, and they weren’t bad at all. I think many people in a desire to denigrate all things Hitler, enjoy portraying Hitler as a mediocre artist. I find his architectural drawings to be quite good. Hitler read extensively about architecture; it was one of his passions. His Jew hatred came later when he became political.

Looks like we’ve found the inspiration for Pajama Boy.

I saw it with three strangers in an art house theater in Trenton NJ in 1968.

Even Van Gogh would have been rejected.

Looks like it might be based on Kafka’s parable “Before the Law”.

I’m pretty sure that’s Rosa DeLauro when she was still pretending to be human.
