By Adolf Hitler


I had always heard he was an artist, but it's pretty weird to actually see some of his art. Spooky. It's pretty nice art.

He was very talented. He could paint/sketch architecture? like a professional. But the reason he wasn't accepted into the Vienna art school was because he wasn't that good at depicting people. He was specifically critiqued on his ability to paint hands. If you look at Mary's hand it does look a little weird compared to her body

Kind of funny that he would paint a couple of Jews.

And it looks like Jesus had a sixth finger that's missing.

His Baby Jesus looks like Adolf Eichman.

That painting is racist and offensive.

Jesus was not a white kid with blonde hair

The first thing I thought was, "Those are some white arse middle easterners."

Then I saw who painted it. Makes sense.

I think you mean not proportionate to the rest of her body

Artists who could get the hands right were more talented and would charge more for paintings that included them.

Same with the full body as getting the proportions of the torso and extremities to look right, is a higher skill.

Napoleon was saving money by tucking his hand into his vest and he was already paying the guy an arm and a leg fee. Which is where the saying "they charge an arm and a leg," comes from.

He could also paint an apartment in one afternoon, two coats.
