Hitler as an artist

What about a more contemporary art style for hitler? Knowing he can't draw people to sae his ife, he decides to draw them as deformed as possible, becoming some kind of vanguardist artist.

I like this idea.

I have about the same problem with drawing people -- hopefully this doesn't mean I'm going to become a murderous dictator :eek: -- and this has kind of led me towards more abstract forms. So, I can see how Hitler might be drawn in this direction.

Next On DICTATORS GOT TALENT! the Amazing Mussolini will dive into a cup of wine, White (but may soon be red), from 100 feet of the ground!

:D

You'd need to slip him enough drugs to hopefully preclude him from rejecting "deviant" counter-cultural decadence.
 
Hitler was an artist who was at the wrong place at the wrong time, that being central Europe in the early 20th century.

Abstract art (Expressionism and Cubism being examples) were popular at this time and Hitler was more of a traditional artist, doing landscapes and buildings. His work was rejected by the Vienna Fine Arts Academy most likely because they saw it as old style traditional stuff and not the modern abstract style of the day.

Perhaps if Hitler was accepted, his work might of evolved into something more modern and he may of become one of the many central European Expressionist painters. Some of them, like Franz Marc, died in the war while others, like Egon Schiele, died in the 1918 Flu pandemic.

They rejected it because it lacked talent; he painted landscapes and buildings because he couldn’t paint people.


An academy can spot talent; in fact they’d have been more likely to spot talent used in a traditional style than in a new one. If Picasso had submitted Guernica in his application to art school they’d have probably rejected it out of hand. Hitler’s would not have been the only landscapes being submitted to the Academy, just some of the duller ones.

If Hitler could have gotten and kept a job as a draftsman he would have been able to indulge in his artistic desires (with a little work "off the clock"). He could have ended up moderately successful.
 
If only Hitler had become an architect, could've saved the world a lot of pain to say the least.:(

With that in mind, I wonder if Mussolini has any artistic skills that were never exploited?

Well by all accounts he was great at stabbing people. Though I think he was a pretty good newspaper editor.

On the other foot what if Stalin had stayed in the Orthodox clergy?

He was a journalist.

Segue to warped scene of him doing a very off-wall Italian Hunter Thompson except even more intense.
