Who was worst Hitler or Churchill (as an artist).

[Sprocket.]

Hitler, according to Albert Speer was a admirer of classical architecture.
That’s how he and Speer became obsessed with building the new Reich Empire in the capitals of Europe.

This is actually quite reasonable isn't it?

Is this one of yours Spymaster ?

Adolf's. But he taught me everything I know.

That is utterly shite.

I quite like this:

Shades of Cezanne there. The composition is a bit off with that big splodge of brown in the bottom right but overall I quite like this one.

Franco was a better painter:

Based on Madonna and child - crude religious art...

Serious issues with the shadows and perspective here. If you're going for that crisp, lifelike look you've got to get the basics right. The colours are pretty drab but there are some nice textures there, nothing too clever but well executed.

That's by Hitler.

This is a bit better from Churchill but he's completely fucked up that front mast.

Play the ball, not the man is what I was always taught.

Cezanne was considered a degenerate artist by the Nazis along with Picasso and several hundred modernist artists.

I thought that one was a Churchill.

It is, I was trying to show the gulf in who inspired both of them. I should have perhaps added more to the post.

Cheers for the heads up

Spymaster what is your issue with the front mast?

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Have to wonder who taught them and how much 'influence' the teachers had.

Churchill was self-taught, but was friends with Sir John Lavery, W R Sickert and particularly William Nicholson, who he said he had helped him.

Hitler was shit at drawing hands, they haven't even got the right number of fingers.

The spars are at the wrong angle for the perspective of the boat.

you're assuming the models had the usual number of figures. but being as hitler was something of a monster i wouldn't be surprised if he'd chosen his models for their polydactyllery or whatnot

Good point - or maybe he just chopped off some of their fingers afterwards so his painting would be accurate.

 

[Sprocket.]

I can’t imagine Spymaster knowing what Spar do or even sell!

 

[Yossarian]

Hitler's paintings were so insipid that they've been very easy to imitate and most of the ones found for sale are apparently fakes - I didn't know the Chapman brothers had bought some 'Hitler' paintings and drawn rainbows etc. on them for an exhibition called "If Hitler Had Been a Hippy How Happy Would We Be."

Littered with fakes: why the Hitler art trade is such a sick joke

 

[Sprocket.]

There will be someone forging diaries and passing them off as Hitler’s before you know it!

 

[gentlegreen]

Is that Berlusconi waiting to goose Merkel ?

 

[twentythreedom]

You're wrong, the boat is heeling plus spars aren't necessarily set at right angles. But there are other far worse errors than that anyway.
