A Whiff of Truth: Adolf Hitler’s Art

Adolf Hitler’s painting of the Munich Opera House

A review of Billy Price’s Adolf Hitler: the Unknown Artist
by Revilo P. Oliver

WHEN YAHWEH’S Master Race began to prepare the Aryan boobs in the United States for eventual use as a horde of crazed cattle, stampeded into Europe to consummate the Suicide of the West and, in all probability, the suicide of our race, the world-destroyers hired the prostitutes of the press to propagate lies about Adolf Hitler. It took the hostes generis humani years to invent the Holohoax they now use to plunder and cow their serfs, but from the first they forged documents to show that Hitler had been the illegitimate offspring of a Kike; by mistranslating a German idiom that designates a man who habitually walks about while talking to intimates of serious matters, they were able to concoct a silly story that he often fell into such rages that he chewed the carpet; they told persons who could not read German that Hitler had advocated in his great work, Mein Kampf, the technique of the Big Lie, which he there accurately identified as the standard technique of the Jews (as now witness their Holohoax, which may be the most enormous lie perpetrated since their tale about Esther in the Jew-Book); and among many lesser applications of their racial technique, they devised the story that Hitler had been a house-painter.

It is now admitted, of course, that he was an artist of sincere purpose and some minor distinction, although not, of course, an artist to be ranked with the masters of the Great Tradition, which ran from Leonardo and Michelangelo to recent times, when the Jews, applying their standard method — First defile, then destroy — hired venal critics to bamboozle simpletons into accepting as “modern art” ugly and disgusting daubs made by schizophrenics and by swindlers who imitated them. (1)

(1. A correspondent who has noted the enormous prices paid, presumably by wealthy idiots, for painted or sculptured deformities, evidently the work of equally deformed minds, suggests that one function of “modern art” is to “launder” money for organized crime. If you pay a million dollars for a package of heroin or cocaine, you cannot avow what you purchased and it would be difficult to keep such a transfer of currency securely secret, but if you ostensibly purchase at that price a piece of spoiled canvas or ruined stone and say you are collecting “art,” you are legally safe and need not care about what cultured people may think of you.)

It is now possible to inspect conveniently the paintings (including water colors), drawings, and other work of Hitler as a young artist who was interested in satisfying his own aesthetic instincts and had no fixed intention of becoming a professional in an art in which he knew he could not greatly excel. An impressive illustrated catalogue of 260 pages, with reproductions of all the quite numerous works in color or black-and-white, including even rough sketches made when he was the incarnate soul of a great nation, (2) and as complete as the author and compiler could make it, is Billy F. Price’s Adolf Hitler, the Unknown Artist. This handsome volume of quarto size, well printed in Italy, was published in Houston, Texas, by the author in 1983 with a text in German, and in 1984 with an English text. [Originally sold at $20, copies of the now out-of-print volume may be obtained online. A slightly less expensive alternative is Pastore’s 2015 work, The Complete Paintings of Adolf Hitler. — Ed.]

(2. One unimportant item that may attract notice is a rough pencil sketch, drawn at a table in a restaurant, outlining Hitler’s design for the original Volkswagen, which was retained by that make of automobile so long as it was the foreign vehicle most widely sold in the United States.)

A friend of mine has shown his copy to many casual acquaintances and reports that it was unexpectedly effective in making Americans aware of how much Yiddish excrement has been smeared over their faces for the past fifty years. At all events, you will learn from the volume that while the great champion of our race was not a great artist, he was, in art, as in his ultimate political purposes, an honest man, and we may hope that he will be remembered as such by the descendants of the nation that defeated him and destroyed itself — and that memory of him may even give to those descendants some strength to endure the degradation and wretchedness to which, as they will discover before long, they have been condemned by their thoughtless parents.

Editor’s Addenda

IN HIS America’s Decline, Dr. Oliver made reference in his very readable footnotes to an instance which typifies the distorted view of Hitler held by propagandized Americans:

A university professor told me that at a small party in his home tor some of his colleagues and their wives. all Americans, in the autumn of 1941, one of the men made some loud-mouthed statements, about some horrid passage in Mein Kampf. The host, having two copies at hand, gave one to his guest and translated from the other for the company. The men, understanding the nature of evidence, necessarily agreed, willingly or sullenly, that the anti-German propaganda was a total lie, but one of the women, in a state of hysteria, ran screaming across the room, snatched the book from her host’s hands, and began to rip out the pages, yelling that people who published such books should be killed. The insane woman was brought under control, but her fit necessarily ended what could have been a pleasant evening. Less spectacular manifestations of irrationality were not uncommon.

In another note, Dr. Oliver speculates on how Hitler’s legacy might come to be viewed in the future, should our race survive:

It is also possible that if our race recovers its lost vigor and ascendency, a future religion may recognize Adolf Hitler as a semidivine figure. The potentiality of such a religion may be seen in the works of a highly intelligent and learned lady of Greek ancestry, Dr. Savitri Devi, especially her Pilgrimage (Calcutta, 1958). Dr. Eberhardt Cheyn in Los Neo-nazis en Sudamerica (Liverpool, West Virginia, 1978) reports that National Socialism, having attracted the devotion of many women, has become the New Evangel, preached in modern “catacombs” as is made necessary by Jewish terrorism, observing the birthday of Hitler with ceremonies that are distinctly pious, and computing dates in the New Era that began with his birth. The veneration of Hitler as a heros is not surprising, but worship, I think, would require the elaboration of a notion that he was an avatar of some superhuman being — a development that would require a century or more.

Here a hilarious “comparison” between Hitler’s painting and Churchill’s ones:

Sticker for the occasion. Some nationalists in Russia used it.

I’m happy to see such beautiful art created by the Renowned German Leader. How could I have lived almost 60 years in the most advanced civilization on planet earth today without having been exposed to the artist who led our people back to sanity from the hellish nightmare of Judaism? This one article is surely worth a generous gift or donation of Ten dollars by anyone who reads it. I would give the National Alliance one million dollars if I had it to ensure such great articles as this one could reach every last Ethical European on planet earth today for the enrichment and encouragement it provides to all of us who read it with great awe, admiration and respect. Thank you, National Alliance Staff, for all that you did… Read more »

You are welcome, TAV. Thank you for your compliment. As an artist myself “of sincere purpose and some minor distinction,” it may have been in 1988 when I first read Dr. Oliver’s review of Hitler the Unknown Artist, as I was subscribed to George Diietz’s Liberty Bell periodical by then. Had I been able to afford it then I would have purchased it, but I was a “starving artist” who had been using art as a cover for my political work, paying my dues in 1988, working for Church of the Creator founder Ben Klassen as editor of his monthly tabloid Racial Loyalty. It was 1991 when I finally met William Pierce and he invited me to come work for him as the National Alliance’s first Membership Coordinator. I had… Read more »

Chairman William W. White, you are welcome. I can’t believe you got such a great opportunity. You are truly blessed in many ways. I am a book lover and artist too. I have a professional easel with many books on art. I would love to buy your copy of Hitler’s art and everything else you want to sell. I just added over 500 copies of Hungarian language books to my private library. I am looking for a few acres out in the country. I found several that look promising, but I hesitated because I felt maybe something better was out there. I also, was thinking about getting a job in a library. I could go back to LSU and get a Masters Degree in Library Science. Another option would be… Read more »

Ernst Zundel did a very long piece on this Hitler’s Art, on bitchute. After finally seeing it in its entirety, I found more information about Mr, Zundel, a German artist, on Wikipedia, and it turns out that even he was duped into thinking that Germany was the bad guy in WWII, and then spread so much truth about Adolf Hitler and the Jews’ lies about him that he got expelled from more countries than (((they))) kvetch about. Nobody’s kicking them out anymore, and if they did, it was ancient history. Now, they’ve just about reached their goal of world domination, I guess their prophecy has been fulfilled, certainly in the western world.
Seems that bad things happen to people who name them properly, truth is censored and lies prevail.

Nom De Guerre: I found more information about Mr, Zundel, a German artist, on Wikipedia.. — Wikipedia?!? Heyseus Christos, NDF. Don’t go to Jews to learn about a courageous revisionist historian like Ernst Zundel. But if you insist, compare this Ernst Zündel – Wikipedia to this and accounts from our sites: Weber on Zundel, part 2 | National Vanguard Since this topic is about a “Nazi’s” art, you might want to check out this: Ernst Zündel On Modern Art : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive This was Ernst Zündel’s first appearance on TV. It was a program called ‘Under Attack’ on which he alone faced about a half dozen opponents on the subject of art. He was the most prolific artist in Canadian history, selling over 600… Read more »
