exhibition of Hitler's watercolors

[Meister]

In London, the gallery White Cube, on Friday opened an exhibition of watercolors germanskogo Fuhrer Adolf Hitler, which will be exhibited 13 works of the Nazi leader. Jake and Dinos Chapman, the British duo of conceptual artists, opened at London's White Cube gallery exhibit titled "If Hitler hiparem, as if we were all happy" (the pun is: If Hitler Had Been a Hippy How Happy Would We Be). This is a reference to a jocular suggestion that the Second World War and the Holocaust would have happened if Hitler had held as an artist. Few people know that before his political career, Hitler tried himself as an artist and even tried to enter the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. In the period from 1910 to 1913, the future Fuhrer in his own memoirs, written over a thousand pictures. Initially, they went for a pittance (Hitler sold them on the street and in beer), but after coming to power of the author in 1930 dramatically increased the cost of the paintings.
Epotazhnye painters, Chapman Brothers, who once became famous due to his dummy children with genitalia instead of faces, as well as exhibitions nightmarish dioramas called "Hell" in the style of Hieronymus Bosch, for several years anonymously bought by collectors of Hitler. According to the newspaper The Times, the purchase cost of watercolors dictator brothers in 115 thousand pounds sterling (about 230 thousand dollars). The exhibition consists of 13 original watercolors by Adolf Hitler, on top of which the Chapman brothers drew a rainbow, skies with bright stars, the smiling mug. Chapman brothers have transformed the work of Hitler - more precisely, as expressed by the administration of the gallery, "annihilate" them - drawing on the background of every rainbow, psychedelic skies, flying hearts and smiles. The resulting series of works now for sale for 685 thousand pounds. The brothers said they would not be surprised if their works will be met with indignation, but disagreed with the statement that their creations offend people's feelings or are an attempt to cash in on the notorious Hitler.

In my delirium. delirium for many reasons: because Hitler's watercolors are sold, because it sold for that kind of money, because the fascists associated with the art. And, in general, as you can even apply to this topic. Enough to see "Schindler's List" to hate Hitler and everything connected with it more than anything else. Your opinion?

In addition: The new branch of Madame Tussaud's, which opened in Berlin on July 9, among the 70 wax figures of eminent history of Germany will be put up the figure of Adolf Hitler's.
