The show, at the White Cube gallery in Mayfair, is called If Hitler Had Been a Hippy How Happy Would We Be. It is asking the question, if Hitler had become a successful painter, would the world be a much better place?

Hitler struggled as an artist in Vienna between 1910 and 1913 and was was rejected twice by the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (1907–1908), citing “unfitness for painting”.

He struggled as a painter in Vienna, copying scenes from postcards and selling his paintings to merchants and tourists. Hitler has estimated that he sold more than 1,000 paintings, mostly for small amounts to help him get by.

After being rejected a second time by the Academy of Arts, Hitler ran out of money. In 1909, he lived in a shelter for the homeless. By 1910, he had settled into a house for poor working men
