I missed 5 and 9 by just deciding what looked like Germany and what looked like Britain.

This is as in, those paintings were actually done by Churchill or Hitler? I didn't know either even painted.

I got 6/10. Horray for random guessing!

2, 4, 5, 10 - I got wrong.

10/10

I figured Hitler was really anal about details, so I chose the paintings that supported that assumption.

I wonder how much an original Hitler goes for these days?

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

I got 9/10. For the most part it was clear that some were by a single painter, so I knew I'd either get them nearly all right (assuming Churchill's were the style I attributed to him) or nearly all wrong (if I got them switched).

I got 1 out of 10. I thought Hitler was a art school drop out so I guessed that the crappier ones one where done by him and the others by Churchill.

He was an art-school drop-out, but he left not because his art was particularly bad, but because it was so traditional. Art, at that point in history, was moving forward into the abstract. Hitler painted nature scenes and strove for super-realism. To see where the art world was headed when he was trying to become an artist, read about the Degenerate Art Exhibit he put on display in Germany.

Hitler or Churchill?
Score: 80% (8 out of 10)

I kinda cheated and thought which ones Hitler would have seen, totally forgetting about looking at the styles.

I got 2 out of 10. I had no f'ing clue.

I just worked on the assumption that the very realistic ones were Hitlers. Got me 8 of 10.
