Fine Art Tuesday

 

Theft of house and farmstead
Adolf Reich born in Vienna in 1887. Died in 1963. He had the misfortune of being on the "wrong" side leading up to, and during WWII.

Consequently, many of his paintings were dismissed as "propaganda" or evil.




It has been suggested that all of the "humor" God would normally bestow on a per-capita basis was exported from Germany and given to the Austrians.

You be the judge.

    I do like those. Realistic subjects and excellent rendition make a thought provocative message.

    Thanks as always ERJ. You are not the only one to note that sometimes it seems that humor slipped South of the German border during the Inter-War period.

    Do you have a name for the fourth painting down, the one that looks like a raid?

      Google translate says "From the illegal fighting period in Austria". Interesting the year painted was 1941.
