Considering that they help keep our food and drugs safe...yeah, I think that's pretty damn important.

Hitler could have been a pretty good commercial artist., but as a fine artist he was meh. However, he was major player in history-thus his work has historical interest.

If we abolished the FDA I'd bet good money the biggest percentage of people to complain first would be Republican voting rednecks, sometime after they bought something that hurt/killed their own.

It may well have been. I read once that pretty much everything he painted was a ripoff of someone else.

Most of the Jews I've met are redneck white South African immigrants, real knockabout types. And their women-folk have this charming "farmers' wives" aura from a forgotten era, always happy to have a chat with my Gentile Catholic ass.

iat's not like his heirs are profiting from his "Art" or his notoriety. It's value would be in the history of who he was and not what it was. A painting by anyone as historically notable (but not as evil) as Hitler would also command a substantially higher price than anything by a more skilled but less well known artist from the same period. A Gandhi or a Churchill for example would also probably auction off at a fairly high price..

Now if it were a reproduction and was sold as one I'd probably have a similar reaction re: your oven comment because it's pretty unlikely that the owner bought it for its artistic value and it has no historically intrinsic value so it actually might say something about the owner.

If the buyer has to have the original, it says more and worse things about him then just wanting a print.

I don't know that I necessarily agree that Hitler's paintings were examples of pure evil made real. I mean, they don't espouse his ideals, or even really reflect who he was. They're just paintings.

FTA: "The seven paintings were originally thought to have been painted by the Nazi dictator and were slated for sale to pay off debts, according to a report in the Aftonbladet daily.

The agency hoped that the sale would bring in several hundred thousands of kronor but after seeking expert advice, they are thought be worth a only a few hundred.

"We engaged a man who I consider to know what he is talking about and the answer we received was that the reproductions were worth a total of 500 kronor," said district court prosecutor Jörgen Larsson."



So they're fakes, the Jewish Agency KNOWS that they're fakes, and yet they're still throwing a hissy fit?

WTF?

Q. What's the difference between Hitler and his paintings?
A. At least you can hang the paintings

The fun part is that the paintings belong to a former HA-president, and that he's probably been paying a lot for them. I wonder if the guy who sold them to HA is laughing or hiding in fear right now.

Your talking about those fine people who emigrated from South Africa to Australia in the early 90s for reasons which had absolutely nothing to do with having to share their cities with black people, right?

/Seemed to be a common thing to emigrate from South Africa to Western Australia around the end of apartheid.
