Hitler wasn't a bad artist, not great but not bad. He was made into a monster by propaganda but that's what propaganda always does.

Hitler lover.

While there’s a lot to dispute in Data’s post, this specific statement I can actually give some qualified agreement to.

Notably, it seems like quality takes a nosedive when he has to put human beings in there. As for his still lives, for what it’s worth, when I took a history of Weimar Germany class, the teacher actually compared those to Thomas Kincaid. Pretty, commercially successful perhaps (at least Kincaid’s were, but I guess if he could find an enterprising printer to reproduce them, maybe add more detail, he’d probably get by), but not much behind the façade. 



And I’d be shocked if either one was ever on the walls of anything like the Art Institute of Chicago.
