Before the outbreak of World War I, Adolf Hitler was a practicing artist. On two separate occasions, Hitler was denied admission to the Academy for Art Studies in Vienna. He took art very seriously and during his 12-year reign as German Führer, the international art industry was demolished. It has been estimated that Hitler stole over 750,000 artworks during the war. The years between 1933 and 1945 are a black hole in the art community, with thousands of pieces of art changing hands and going missing. During World War II, the Nazis went on a rampage destroying and stealing European art. Priceless pieces

About the Artist: Born Romain de Tirtoff (1892–1990) in St. Petersburg, Russia, to an aristocratic family, the artist known as Erté — a pseudonym derived from the French pronunciation of his initials — was a Renaissance man of the art and design world. He worked in graphic arts, interior design, fashion, jewelry and set design for the stage and silver screen, becoming a leader of the Art Deco style. Moving to Paris in 1912, Erté worked as a fashion designer under couturier Paul Poiret before securing a job with Harper’s Bazaar as a cover artist. Over 22 years, Erté created more than 240 magazine covers alongside his ongoing work in fashion design. Extending his prolific career into theater sets, costumes, prints and lithographs, he became one of the most famous artists of the era. Erté’s style — a combination of the nature-inspired flourishes of Art Nouveau and bold, geometric linework — directly contributed to the birth of Art Deco, earning him the nickname “the Father of Art Deco.” After a lull of creative production in the 1940s and 1950s, Erté reentered the public eye in the 1960s, when a renewed interest in Art Deco had taken shape. Creating colorful lithographs, bold serigraphs (silk-screen prints) and bronze sculptures, he contributed to a resurgence of the style in France and beyond. This late-life acclaim for his art led to exhibitions in museums and galleries all over the world as well as his first published monograph in 1970. That same year he was awarded the title of Chevalier du Mérite Artistique et Cultural and in 1976 was named Officier des Arts et Lettres by the French government. Today, Erté’s works are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and LACMA in Los Angeles. less

Romans, Nazis, Victorian-era Brits, noughties cat-burglars – they have all stolen priceless works. Here are the most shocking art thefts of the last two millennia, writes Ivan Lindsay
Almost everybody loves a good heist movie. And even before the age of the movies, novels featuring ‘gentlemen thieves’ were hugely popular with audiences across Europe and America. For some, so long as nobody is hurt or threatened in the process, stealing works of art is the ultimate victimless crime.…
Thieves, amateurs, and patriots have spent enough time planning the perfect art heist. Some may be inspired by movies, while some prefer creative solutions. Here's a list of the strangest heists ever.

George Clooney’s The Monuments Men, a historical epic centered on a motley crew of allied soldiers tasked with preserving and seizing Nazi-stolen art during World War II, is based on the true story of the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives program—a group established in 1943 by the Civil Affairs and Military Government Sections of the Allied armies. Several of these soldiers served on the front lines of the war, and eventually recovered thousands of paintings and sculptures seized by the Nazis by the likes of Michelangelo, Leonardo, Botticelli, Vermeer, and more. Hitler, a former art student, was stockpiling rare works of art—mostly in mines throughout Germany, as well as the Neuschwanstein Castle—to populate his proposed Führermuseum in Linz, Austria. Here are some of the finest stolen works of art that the Monuments Men recovered from the Nazis.
