Paintings By Adolf Hitler
Adolf Hitler, the dictator of Nazi Germany from 1933 until his suicide in 1945, was a painter in his youth. While living in Vienna between 1908 and 1913, Hitler worked as a professional artist and produced hundreds of works, to little commercial or critical success. A number of the paintings were recovered after World War II and sold at auctions. Others were seized by the United States Army and are still in U.S. government possession. Style Hitler's preferred subject was architecture, which he represented using "an amalgam of conventional styles". Instead of progressing, his works copied from nineteenth century and other artists. He drew primarily from Greco-Roman classicism, the Italian Renaissance, and Neoclassicism. He liked the technical ability displayed by this art as well as the comprehensible symbolism. He called Rudolf von Alt his greatest teacher. Both Hitler and von Alt exhibited an interest in similar subject matter and use of color. History Artistic ambition In ...
