Paintings by Adolf Hitler
Adolf Hitler, dictator of Nazi Germany from 1933 until his suicide in 1945, was also a painter. He produced hundreds of works when he tried to sell his paintings and postcards to earn a living during his Vienna years (1908–1913) but had little commercial success. A number of his paintings were recovered after the Second World War and have been sold at auction for tens of thousands of dollars. Others were seized by the United States Army and are still in U.S. government possession.
General opinion of his works is overwhelmingly negative; they have been described as cold and unfeeling, with many arguing that Hitler had some talent as an architect, but was lacking when describing natural elements such as trees or people.
