Hitler's Favorite Painter (and one of mine too) Boing Boing
by Decius at 12:02 pm EST, Jan 22, 2010

My friday needed some interesting fine art... BoingBoing obliged.

Arnold Bocklin was a 19th century symbolist painter whose work influenced and inspired Salvador Dali, Sergi Rachmaninoff, Marcel Duchamp and H. R. Giger. Adolph Hitler owned eleven of his paintings and cited Bocklin as his favorite painter.

Do we need to have a ethical debate about whether or not liking these paintings is a tacit endorsement of the holocaust?
