>it was easier for Hitler to start World War II than it was for him to face a blank square of canvas.
I'm sure there are valid criticisms of Hitler's art, but most of the criticism that I've seen - picrel included - just comes off as shallow, veiled virtue signaling. not to mention it's a bit of a reach: just because Hitler isn't revered like Renaissance artists are doesn't mean it was hard for him to make a painting. It's such a dumb conclusion to draw, but a more probable one to draw if you're blinded by your political leanings.';

'>>7152585
The war of art is a truly evocative book. I don't think the author actually believes this. It's only a striking idea.

It paints a picture - what if Hitler was afraid to give it his all and dedicate his life to the pursuit of art? He had to fear something. I think everyone does.

Even if it is not true, and Hitler didn't care for art anymore, he got bored of it, it wasn't his real passion, etc - this quote makes me wonder a world where people gave it their all to pursue the dreams they fear.';

It wasn't the concept of resistance that beat Hitler. It was the fact that his IQ was too low and anime hadn't been invented yet.

On the plus side, as a result of WWII, we domesticated the japs and that led to great coom art, so it all worked out in the end.';

'>>7152554';

'>>7152604
Yeah. Now I'm curious on why he quit.

>>7152617
Thanks. He got a LOT of flak for this quote, a lot of critics consider it overly dramatic. But that helps the book imo.

>In 1907, he applied to join Vienna's Academy of Fine Arts, but was rejected due to a "lack of talent". In 1908, Hitler tried again, but was once again rejected. Shortly afterwards, Hitler ran out of money and was forced to live in homeless shelters and men's hostels.
he didn't choose to quit';

'>>7152894
He was rejected because he ignored submissions criteria and sent in paintings of buildings when they wanted portraits. He had an absurd amount of self-confidence and drive, so much so that he built his party up from nothing.';

'>>7152560
kinda misleading here he was making a living as an artist before getting into the military and politic
you don't have to go to top art school to be an artist';

'>>7152933
But he didn't have enough drive to simply draw portraits so that he could be accepted. Maybe that was his resistance, the fear of drawing people.

I think this is a dumb quote. I've never asked myself "am i a writer", I said "i want to be a writer" and then I wrote a book and said "i am now a writer".
I get that art is a bit nebulous in comparison, but after a certain point I realized, "yeah, this is good, i can call myself an artist"
I think that people that ask themselves the question haven't reached that point yet, so they are not artists.';

My post will make a lot of you seethe and cope but bear in mind that he means 25 years of realism, atelier level graphite work like pic related, as well as drawing from live models. Your retarded anime scribbles and floating moeshit heads don't count as drawing. The transition from graphite realism to oil painting is genuinely an easy and extremely intuitive one. The transition from retarded anime scribbles to painting is massive because you can't really draw anyway.
>waah but muh xerocopy!!
You can and should be doing your own art and applying your knowledge to it, "muh xercopy" is just your cope for not practicing, there is no rule that says you can't apply your knowledge OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OF YOUR CRAFT to your retarded anime scribbles.';

'>From the age of six I had a mania for drawing the shapes of things. When I was fifty I had published a universe of designs. But all I have done before the the age of seventy is not worth bothering with. At seventy five I'll have learned something of the pattern of nature, of animals, of plants, of trees, birds, fish and insects. When I am eighty you will see real progress. At ninety I shall have cut my way deeply into the mystery of life itself. At a hundred I shall be a marvelous artist. At a hundred and ten everything I create; a dot, a line, will jump to life as never before. To all of you who are going to live as long as I do, I promise to keep my word. I am writing this in my old age. I used to call myself Hokusai, but today I sign my self 'The Old Man Mad About Drawing.'
