Hitler - the artist, whose paintings are sothey are sensual and beautiful, that one might even think that they were written by a person who is completely far from conquest. It is amazing how so many contradictory features can be combined in one person.
Adolf Hitler and his paintings
A painting like The Night Sea was paintedAdolf about a century ago. According to ITAR-TASS, it was auctioned in Slovakia for 32 thousand euros. Yaroslav Kraynak, a representative of the well-known auction house Darte, said that she was put up for auction by a Slovak family, who inherited it at the end of the Second World War.

Jefferys Nonstandard Auction
Большинство картин были обнаружены на чердаке home in the 80s in a city called Wuy. According to family tradition, these paintings, sealed in a box, left two French refugees who were returning home at the end of the war.
A Belgian retiree thought that severalthousand pounds will not be superfluous, and therefore contacted the auction house. She asked to exhibit the paintings (20 canvases), signed “A. Hitler "for sale.
The authorship of Adolf Hitler to this day is not exactlyestablished, as the Belgian experts, who could confirm their authenticity in the 80s, have long passed away. It is for certain only that the age of the paper supports the hypothesis regarding the authorship of Hitler. Historians also confirm the fact that the Fuhrer at that time was near the landscapes depicted in his paintings.
As a result, the auction house took to the sale of allthe pictures. According to their calculations, revenue should have been 70 thousand pounds. But the auction brought the amount of more than 2 times the predicted - 176 thousand pounds. The most expensive watercolor was sold for 10.5 thousand pounds sterling, and the cheapest - for 3 thousand pounds sterling.

Painting A. Hitler
In 190011-year-old Adolf shook his father with a statement that he wanted to become an artist. Alois (Hitler's father) dreamed that his son would become a major successful official, but young Adolf did not study well and constantly received remarks on discipline and behavior. Only drawing was given to him with ease.
После кончины отца его мать Клара осталась с 5-ю children, and later also learned that mortally ill. She allowed Adolf to enter the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. He scornfully treated the preparation for entrance exams, which is why in 1907 he failed all the tasks. In order not to upset the dying mother, he lied about enrolling at the Academy of Arts.
After the death of his mother, Adolph moved to live with a friend. He was ashamed of his failure, so every day he walked the streets, admiring the urban architecture of Vienna.
In 1908, Hitler made the 2nd attempt to enter the Academy of Arts. But the selection committee did not even look at his work. After that, Adolf fell into depression and found himself with tramps.
In 1910, Hitler accidentally met with R.Ganish and told him that he draws well. Reinhold misunderstood him, taking Adolf for a simple painter. Subsequently, after seeing the paintings of Adolf Hitler (the photos of which are presented below), he suggested starting a joint business. After that, he began to paint city buildings, landscapes on canvas, the size of which was no more than postcards. And Reinhold successfully sold them for 20 crowns in hotels and taverns. Later, when Adolf moved to Munich, his paintings began to be sold more, bringing him income above average.

However, for a number of moral reasons, most expert artists show doubt about the authenticity of the paintings. Professional critics agree on the absence of any artistic value of these canvases. However, many, in spite of everything, recognize the correct adherence to the basic artistic principles and techniques.
Only Doug Harvey got access to all 4thsecret paintings that Adolf Hitler wrote. The paintings were studied by him in great detail, after which he published several articles on his work. There, the position of professional art critics and critics regarding the work of the Fuhrer is clearly marked. In an interview for The New York Times, Harvey stated that, speaking of Hitler’s paintings, the priests are filled with contempt, as if recognizing the virtuosity of the Nazi dictator could justify the Holocaust.
