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.

How can civilized people treat the monster that created the industrial plant for the destruction of people, demonstrating to the same nedyuzhennye ability businessman arranging non-waste production (the hair on the pillows, leather lamp shades on, teeth to melt, etc.). And he still podmalevyval there is something like Wagner's music, moved by the play of Marlene Dietrich, but a lot of things. That this exhibition, this wax effigy is all low provocation, again a way to earn more money on outrageous theme. Another thing that does not work laws prohibiting popularize this name, which of course chudovischno.Vse for sale, every man for himself! No, it will not have to disentangle all. Thank you for otklik.Blagodaryu again!

totally agree with you Irina, and agree that we should enact laws to prohibit populyarizizirovat name. This is so immoral to try to make this money that I have no words. Although, and make an exhibition of the corpses (http://www.newsru.com/cinema/30may2008/bodies.html), what then can we speak! The public should express their opinions, and not just on the sidelines indignant!

Personally for me this exhibition suggests that humanity in general potyarelo what a moral tsennnosti. this is very bad, and that all modern art, which does not understand when to stop, and when not!

Oh, yes, it's terrible, but I think it is no accident. after the war has grown more than one generation, and perhaps it is trying to justify himself, people are tired of feeling guilty for the case of the older generation, and I think such an exhibition of watercolors Hitler aimed to review, in a different way to look at the past. if you are already solutions nyurnberskogo process are being questioned, then wonder why ...

If you will come to the exhibition "knife" in the CHA, then suddenly see themselves among the participants stands on which the submission of knives and daggers Second World War. And, mostly (90%), German fascist.
Enough with you our compatriots, who collect all the German (fascist) - Awards knives, etc. And some of them are.
Moreover, if you come into the bookstore (Biblioglobus for example), you will find shelves full of memoirs, and so on. about Nazi Germany (separately about the kinds of troops, weapons, intelligence and mysticism), and only two partial shelves about the Soviet Red Army.
