Why sad? Hitler also held Beethoven and Wagner in
high esteem. That doesn't diminish any of these folks

Some excellent wallpaper sized jpgs at the NP.
The link below is to their Arnold Böcklin (1827 - 1901)

It is sad but true that Adolf Hitler was a fan as well
and owned 11 of them. I am beginning to mull around
the idea of book or series dealing with AB.
Some extraordinary scholarship on him in the
Comic Grotesque book I noted earlier, an approach
to all the misunderstanding associated with this
figure.
