[@glenchapman3899]

During the liberation of Paris, and art curator was nearly hanged as a collaborator because he had assisted the Germans in selecting what artwork to steal. He convinced the mob to come to his house where in the basement he had stored numerous famous paintings. Turns out he was pretty good at forging, and had been making copies of paintings to give to the Germans while saving the originals lol

[@peterpain6625]

Legend, that one.

[@RJStockton]

Han van Meegeren. He was Dutch, not French, and he sold a few fake Rembrandts (that he had been forging before the war) to the Organization Rosenburg, the main art theft division. He also made a fortune off of the legit stuff he was helping to pass to the top brass. So he actually was a collaborator, but he was also really good at talking his way out of trouble.

[@Gr3nadgr3gory]

​@RJStockton ehh, calling someone who ripped off the germans as much as they helped them a collaborator isn't really fair. He was nothing more than a ruthless capitalist.

[@EdwardBast]

@@RJStockton I think the story we're groping toward here is Han van Meegeren selling a forged Vermeer to Hermann Goering. He was put on trial for collaboration on the theory that it was a real Vermeer. In order to support his claim that it was a forgery he had sold, van Meegeren was given the necessary materials and given a chance to produce another fake Vermeer in his cell, essentially painting for his life as the collaboration charge could have been punished by death. When he succeeded he became a national hero for having ripped off Goering. There was collateral damage to the reputation of art experts, however, as he had fooled some of those who had testified for the prosecution with his other forgeries.

@@Gr3nadgr3gory That's not what capitalism is. He wasn't pooling investments to direct resources toward a purpose, he was selling fake and stolen art.

He's one of those actors who'll never be a star but will be memorable in his scenes, sometimes long after the movie's title as faded away. Like this scene - I probably won't remember the series, or the star, but I'll remember this setting and his dialog. Jars of 'old paintings'. Delivered with a quiet intensity that seems far more truthful.

[@stream_gene]

Agreed. Very underrated actor. I feel whatever character he plays he brings a grounded reality to them. They're not exaggerated or hammed up, just played delicately.

He effortlessly goes between smarmy and unlikeable, to sympathetic. Sometimes, in the same sentence. It’s really amazing how he can make you despise, or love whatever character he’s playing with a shift in his tone of voice.

[@johnsimth6587]

He literally takes his hat off. A sign of respect.

[@Grizabeebles]

I love the layers of artistic irony going on: First, he's cremating Hitler's paintings. Second, there's no plaque explaining the jars of ashes - meaning that the truth about the ashes is a secret only sparingly revealed and intended to eventually be lost to time and covered up. Third, he didn't just throw the ashes away - Displaying the ashes in an art installation in the center of his private gallery is an act of dominance over Hitler and his ideology of dominance. Fourth, certifying geniune paintings by Hitler as fakes and destroying them and fake Hitler paintings as geniune will eventually erase Hitler from his own artistic legacy and reinforce the historical perception of Hitler as an artistic mediocrity at best. Fifth, this personal project to destroy Hitler's artistic legacy runs the risk of destroying this art appraiser's entire career should it ever come out. If he revrals the truth in his will after he dies, it will cast doubt on the value of all the paintings he certified. Especially the fake Hitlers. Sixth, as the number of authentic Hitler paintings gradually decreases, their value only goes up. And the ashes in the installation itself will become valuable to "fans" of Hitler. And yet there is only an implication that the ashes in those jars are of Hitler's paintings. They very well could be ashes of his own paintings made with the correct ink and aged canvases. Which would also make the installation an act of usurpation against Hitler should the ashes ever be stolen and sold. 9. There is not a SPECK of dust on those shelves. This is rhe trophy case of a man who is PROUD of his achievements.

This scene speaks of that so well, the part about there being ZERO dust around them I missed the many many times I've seen this scene. You're so correct there. It would require more than a little effort with that, effort that was for himself for his hate.

​@luismanuel3137 the definition of spite is when you deliberately set out to anger or hurt someone. Considering Picardo's motivation, I'd say it's an apt description. His father is not alive, but metaphorically Picardo is doing it because his father would have hated it. Spite doesn't always have to mean unjustified

[@narayananmohan8114]

I like how the "Do you understand?" is twofold. One - Because of the way Raylan DOES understand the hatred of the father, but also two - WHY he said that the paintings were fake and how he knew so much about Hitler's old paintings - tying into the first part of the clip. Good writing.

[@KingKhanate1997]

Indeed brother. Raylan doesn’t just see the parallel between himself and the auctioneer/artist, but he also sees what could potentially become of himself. The auctioneer is a man (understandably) consumed by his hatred of his own father, going through great pains and expenditures to proverbially spit on the man’s grave. While Raylan comes around to the guy and eventually respects him by the end of the episode, he sees what could very easily become his own future if he doesn’t let go of Arlo’s grasp.

[@spicylemons490]

I actually took a history class recently that went over political theory and they used a lot of art to emphasize the cultural focus of certain movements.

That's got to be the dumbest interpretation I've heard.

[@nicholaskehler9169]

@@Grayald I am not saying that is why he did it. I am simply saying that by destroying all of Hitler's art he has had the side effect of ensuring that Hitler would not be remembered as some artist in the extremely unlikely event that his atrocities were forgotten. Obviously this is just some fictional story so it doesn't really matter and his motives were all about undoing his father's greatest moments as a supporter of the Nazi Reich because he hated his father. But in the universe of the show Hitler's artworks have been destroyed which does mean that a thousand years down the line after 40-50 generations, when people may have forgotten Hitler either as a result of historical records being lost or destroyed or far greater horrors being enacted, there will be no Hitler artwork to rediscover resulting in this forgotten monster being remembered as an artist. Preventing that possibility makes him some kind of hero not much of one but he did do something even if it was for petty revenge against his father.

[@ottokarl5427]

If there would become a time where "Hitler is only known for his artwork", he wouldn't be known at all, because the only reason his paintings have value IS because of the artist, not because of any inherent quality.

Picardo is one of the greatest actors still in the business. Truly an under appreciated stage actor brought to TV.

what a unique and wonderful character. AAAAAND dam gj at subverting expectations with the twist. We all take joy in seeing those jars.

Actually this reminds me of Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut. When he revealed his epic painting of D-Day

Yeah! I love later Vonnegut and Bluebeard is fantastic.

Fascinating idea. When someone has so much power over you, even decades after his death.

Like it or not but your actions will have far reaching consequences even after you die. Now imagine if you held the power of Hitler, and murdered millions?

I never watched Justified. I clicked because Robert Picardo was on Star Trek (and the Wonder Years!). My question (and this may be a biased audience), should I watch this show? It’s like 15-20 years old, does it hold up?

[@oliaustfjor6247]

It absolutely does.

[@randomfrenchdude9898]

It's a great show with a good writting. It didn't get old at all. They even added a new season in 2023.

[@kylemayer8486]

It is one of the greatest shows in television history. Some seasons are better than others, but the main thread of the show is perfection, from start to finish. I won't watch the new one, because I regret doing it with X-Files.

[@jkornfeld]

That is a noble calling indeed.

[@chrisarcher1146]

The first role I saw him play was Richard Woolsey on Stargate. I'm glad he's gotten a character with more drive to achieve his convictions. Woolsey stood by his convictions when truly tested but his decisions were always made out of fear while hiding behind a false notion of rationality and temperament. This guy doesn't seem like the type to lie to himself, even if he doesn't always share the complete truth with everyone.

[@SheyD78]

I feel like I need to see the episode in full to really appreciate the moment, but a nice twist compared to what might have been.

[@ICHBinCOOLERalsJeman]

I love how this just causes the price and value of the remaining paintings to go up each time he does it

[@pendorran]

He clearly isn't dumb enough to advertise the fact or he wouldn't be sold the paintings. He probably acts as an intermediary between the seller and a fictional anonymous buyer. As far as anyone knows the paintings are still in private ownership, fully intact.

[@RJStockton]

I sometimes wonder if being lied to all the time bothers the kind of people who watch TV shows. It bothered me, so I stopped watching in 2002. Every now and then, I see a clip like this and have to wonder about the people who voluntarily plug their faces into corporate entertainment and gobble down the dishonesty in every episode of every show.

This is an iconic scene from "Justified;" it's very well known. I hope you didn't think "Custer's Last Stand" (Battle of the Little Bighorn) was a SPOILER of some sort...because "LAST stand" kind of gives it away...

[@thevictoryoverhimself7298]

The idea that Hitler was a bad/failed painter is completely false. The vienna art school he applied to got over 2000 applicants a year, but took at most 40 students. On his second attempt he came 70th out of 2000 (while homeless mind you). They complimented his buildings and offered him a letter of reference to an affiliated school of architecture. He decided this job was too similar to his fathers (who he hated) and decided to go into politics instead.

BBC actually had a show where they bought art by controversial people or those that got cancel, and had the audience vote which to destroyed in in front of people. People were upset about it. One of the artwork was by Hitler.
