TWITLER

 Along side all the "real" art world market news like Warhol's "Triple Elvis" going for something like 400 Billion Dollars, there is also the auction report of a modest little water color by one of the world's most evil men, Adolf Hitler, going for $161,000. Not bad for a frustrated artist turned tyrant. According to the news feed someone owns about two thousand Hitlers. What with annihilating the Jews, taking over Europe, fighting the Americans and Russians on two different fronts, and trying to keep Maria Braun in leiderhausen, how did he have time to do two thousand works? One of my favorite AH quotes is "Once the Polish question is settled, I want to retire as an artist." If only.
    If Hitler lived today he would have a facebook page and a twitter account. He would be able to do sieg heil selfies  on Instagram and post his watercolors and plans for "The FinalSolution" on his various pages. Sure he'd have to compete with ISIS and Assad, but I don't think those guys do watercolors. This would be his signature work, what sets the little dick tater apart. Maybe then he would've been able to moderate his bitterness. History has it that the academie rejected the young Hitler. But the academie has rejected many a young artist. Few take it so hard. I may be reaching but I think this could be at the root of his madness. Being a recognized artist was more important to Hitler than he could properly articulate with his art, without social media. Why couldn't he and Rosenberg form a little collective and show their work salon style in the beer halls, instead of shitting all over humanity? If only.
   And now it is not only legal to collect Hitler, it is lucrative. How is this possible? Two sisters auctioned off the piece in Nuremberg, saying they would donate 10% to "disabled children". A buyer from the Middle East purchased the watercolor, with offers coming in from across the globe. It's not a bad little painting, but it's a fucking Hitler! Why would anyone want that on their wall? #I'mfuckingflabergasted.
