The leader of the Third Reich from a young age was fond of painting. But what would have happened if he were a veteran of the German army, in 1919, not at a party meeting, but in an art workshop? And at the same time, take and reveal your gift completely!
As can be seen from the biography of the well-known author of the sad work "Mein Kampf", even before the start of the First World War, he tried to enter the art academy. Many critics argue that he was completely mediocre in painting. And therefore did not enter. But, as you know, Adolf Schicklgruber failed only one exam - the image of a portrait. The members of the commission did not have any questions about his still lifes and landscapes. By the way, recognized masters of painting, as a rule, are not universal artists.
Maybe a young applicant could someday enter the Academy, but with the outbreak of the First World War, he goes to the army. At that time, front-line themes became the basis of his works.
From painting to dictatorship
In 1919, an international conference was held in Versailles, at which the results of the First World War were summed up. Its main result can be called the message to all mankind that peace has not yet come, but only a twenty-year break in the war has come! Clouds continued to gather on the political horizon, leading to notorious consequences.

After the end of WWII, prices for the work of young Adolf soared up. Paintings by his brush can now sell for hundreds of thousands of euros. They have become a political propaganda tool. It is believed that fans of the Fuhrer and inadequate millionaires acquire them. Agree - few of your friends want to decorate their home with a picture of Hitler.
There is an opinion that Adolf's paintings are bought up with the aim of their complete destruction. That is to say, so that the villain and the spirit are gone. One thing is certain - the buyer is not so much interested in the author's work as the author himself. So can the Fuhrer be considered a painter? Or was he just an upstart and mediocrity?
Better artist than dictator
Anyone can view the paintings of this self-taught artist on the Internet and add their own opinion about what they saw. True, the opinion of an amateur will be subjective. Now, if only to conduct a professional analysis!
The St. Petersburg Academy of Arts agreed to evaluate Hitler's paintings. Professor A. K. Krylov carefully studied the work of the self-taught artist. It should be noted here that he has an extremely negative attitude to National Socialism. What a true professional said surprised many.
It turns out that Hitler in the field of a painter could achieve significant success! Its examiners, by not enrolling an applicant on the course, made both a historical and a professional mistake. The future dictator was undeservedly removed and became dangerous for the society that did not recognize him. Having become the Fuhrer, he decided to change not himself, but society itself, and if it does not wish, then it can be destroyed. Young Adolf was a promising painter, and how much better it would have been if he had stayed with him …
