http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/italy/articles/painting-by-adolf-hitler-features-in-new-art-exhibition/A museum in northern Italy has unveiled an oil painting by Adolf Hitler as part of an exhibition exploring the link between art and madness.
The deceased dictators work has been described as a piece of s*** by the acerbic art critic Vittorio Sgarbi, who curated the exhibition at Museo Di Salo in Lombardy.
Hitlers oil painting, which is on loan from a private German collector, has never been exhibited before.
Its a piece of s*** aesthetically, Sgarbi told Italian news agency, ANSA. [It] says a lot about his psyche: there is no grandeur here, only misery.
