Concerning Hitler's art.....I wish I could go back to the Vienna Academy of Art and tell them.....
"You really should accept this student! Doing this will prevent the slaughter of millions, let alone te annexation of your country."
I wonder if any of the faculty were still around once Hitler took power, and if Hitler did anything about them...
Well, perhaps he still would have gone down his destructive path, but I'm in the arts, and my bet is that, if he would been given just a sliver of success, he may have been able to satisfy his needs through his art....I mean, there have certainly been plenty examples of those who are in the creative arts (Richard Wagner just to name one) who had very outspoken opinions, but were not personally responsible for the death of millions....
