it being tainted by the geopolitical tensions of the time make it near worthless when there are certainly critiques from actual artists and art critics. This sentence: 'One modern art critic was asked in 2002 to review some of Hitler's paintings without being told who painted them. He said they were quite good, but that the different style in which he drew human figures represented a profound lack of interest in people' is what we should have more of, although the critic should be named.

It looks pretty objective to me; the negative opinions are sourced and represent the consensus regarding AH's art. If he had not gone into politics it seems unlikely he would be remembered for his art. The tone of this article is no more negative than warranted, and can be compared to articles about
619:
The article says the pictures are not shown because of their controversial nature. This is vague. Does it mean: artistically controversial; that they were painted by Hitler and it would be controversial to exhibit something by him as a person; they depict a subject matter that is controversial e.g. a

Apologies if I'm not editing this correctly. However, far from 'proving' his paintings as "grim" as this entry misquotes them, Collotti and
Mariani actually state that "his water colours show that as a painter Hitler was anything but 'grim'", stating that it was in fact his "political programme" that
922:
I added the proper reference for the 'stilted' claim if you want to review it. I think we should ignore WW2 era criticsm as it is hard to say how objective and fair that criticism is or whether it was motivated by politics. John
Gunther is not an artist nor an art critic so his opinion combined with
876:
The language used in the article to describe his art feels rather dismissive and contemptuous. For example, phrases such as "Hitler's style was very stilted when representing architecture in his paintings. Instead of progressing, his works copied from nineteenth century and other artists", go beyond

The DYK discussion touched in the issue of publication ... I would say that any images that were sold by the young Hitler on the streets of Vienna were definitely published under US law. Another question is whether copyright in
Austria at that time was opt-in or opt-out ... if the former, then this

To my untrained eye, Blumen-Arrangement picture in this article seems to contradict the notion that he does not draw plants nicely, and Mother Mary picture in this article seems to contradict that he does not draw humans nicely, it would benefit the article if more of his paintings are elaborated.

While placing emphasis on the historical context is important, especially considering that we're dealing with a historical figure, the article somewhat blends his political actions with critiques of his art, which will skew the reader's perception. The article is about his art, ergo, the primary

Upon reading through the article, I've noticed that it generally doesn't read in a non-biased manner, and I believe this is because, well, it's literally Hitler. I think a small overhaul in the tone of the article may be necessary but I don't want to do anything without getting some consensus.
885:
While this page includes some quotes that criticise Hitler's artistic skills (which is good! It provides insight into what those who are more educated in the artistic field believe), the article doesn't provide very much balance by including viewpoints that are neutral or, if they exist, even
707:
The section "Use of art as a political tool" doesn't seem to contain any information about Hitler's paintings. This might be better suited for another article, and the information therein is probably already described elsewhere. Perhaps it could be deleted here, what do you think?
734:
If there are no objections, I will create a section on the exhibitions of Jake and Dinos
Chapman, which used modified Hitler works in a modern exhibition. The exhibition had a lasting effect on the value and awareness of hitler's work according to sources.
454:
The article as is suggests that criticism was universal that Hitler was a bad painter; this is not the case. I've added the reference to Spotts, and I'm sure there are others. Art is subjective, particularly if one can separate the subject from the

slightly positive statements regarding his artistic skills. If there are art historians or critics who have commented on his work in a less negative light, maybe those perspectives should be included to provide a more rounded view?

Yeah, it’s also mainly full of Hitler’s own opinions on his style which is of little value considering there is much that others have said of his work contemporary to him and since his passing.
