Adolf Hitler is called the "house painter", not painter or artist. Hermann Nitsch on the other hand is
praised as being one of the greatest artists of our time. On August 10th, 1998 he concluded one of his
most succesful open air exhibitions of modern art, lasting for one week. Nitsch was cheered by the
Austrian Chancellor, ministers and other government officials. All politically correct parties in Austria were
in praise of the "unique artwork" of Hermann Nitsch. This genius is sponsored with Millions of Schillings
by the Austrian government in order to secure the ongoing production of Nitsch's works. The Austrian
government and the media believe that Nitsch can uplift one's spirit by his "touching creations". On the
other hand an individual will go to prison for up to 15 years if he possesses and shows or exhibits a piece
of an Adolf Hitler painting.
This is an example of our democratic right of freedom of artistic expression and ideas. We are thankful
that we can enjoy the outstanding works of Nitsch and are spared the horrors of Adolf Hitler's ugly
scribbles. Thank God, democracy selects what we are allowed to see and what we are allowed to read
and say.
Who's art do you want your children to see?
