Wikipedia (yes, I know, not very trustworthy source) says that: "Helnwein was offered a chair by the University of Applied Sciences in Hamburg in 1982. When his demand to admit also children to study at the university was rejected, he declined."

Doesn't that seem odd? You wouldn't take an academic post because they wouldn't let children study at a UNIVERSITY? WTF?

Yeah, what a ridiculous demand.

Marilyn Manson on Helnwein:

'Gottfried Helnwein is my mentor. His fight for expression and stance against oppression are reasons why I chose him as an artistic partner.

An artist that doesn't provoke will be invisible. Art that doesn't cause strong emotions has no meaning. Helnwein has that internalized.

Sean Penn on Helnwein:

Well, the world is a haunted house, and Helnwein at times is our tour guide through it.

In his work he is willing to take on the sadness, the irony, the ugliness and the beauty.

But not all of Gottfried's work is on a canvas. A lot of it is the way he's approached life. And it doesn't take someone knowing him to know that.

You take one look at the paintings and you say "this guy has been around." You can't sit in a closet – and create this. This level of work is earned.'

'His Self-portrait as screaming bandaged man, blinded by forks (1982) became the cover of the Scorpions album Blackout.'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottfried_Helnwein

Remember that the band leader (?) of the Scorpions said he once went to a party where a child was killed?

think-

from Wikipedia:

'Helnwein's early work consists mainly of hyper-realistic watercolors, depicting wounded children, as well as photographs and performances – often with children – in public spaces.

The bandaged child became the most important figure next to the artist himself allied with him in his actions: the embodiment of the innocent, defenceless individual at the mercy of brute force.

I only knew his self-portraits, I had no idea he also portrayed children.

Did you see the celebreties he portrayed? All are on our 'usual suspects' list:

Marilyn Manson - Mick Jagger - Andy Warhol

And there's a photo that shows him and Arnold Schwarzenegger in front of a painting.

Many jews create perverted pedo art. Look at the art that Lena Dunham's dad had hanging throughout their house. Time and time again this pattern emerges. Its their culture.

This guy owns an actual castle.

Anyone who owns a castle is certified creepster. No exceptions.

Sad Creepy Sick Evil and Vile. Horrid is what they are. These children are being used and sickly formulated. It is perverted.

The grown men surrounding a table with the small blonde girl lying on it is making me think of Heather. Now I am very depressed :(

carmencita

It's all sick. Extremely Provoking. Even the children just lying with their eyes closed, imo, are meant to invoke death. I also feel that all the pictures of well known people may be hints to their being pedophiles. All those pics between the pictures of bloodied children and sexual implications involving children, I think those are a message. Yes, that could invoke thoughts of Heather. Also notice the picture of ET. Is that another message, in place of someone perhaps? To me it is. I know, that just as I, you wanted to vomit.
