Hitler the artist

As a child, Hitler was different from other children. He had an inner strength and was guided by his spirit and instincts. He was able to draw skillfully when he was only eleven. His early drawings and watercolors at the age of 15, were full of poetry and sensitivity. One of his most notable works of his early days Fortress Utopia ("Utopia of Strength"), indicates he was also was an artist of rare imagination. His artistic orientation took many forms. As a youth he wrote poetry and dedicated an entire work to his sister Paula. At the age of 16, in Vienna, he embarked on the creation of an opera designing the scenery and costumes for his Wagnerian heroes. More than an artist Hitler was above all an architect.

Hundreds of his works are notable both for his painting as its architecture. From memory he could describe in detail the dome of a church or the complex curves of wrought iron. It was, without doubt, his dream of becoming an architect which led him to Vienna at the beginning of the century. When you see the hundreds of drawings, sketches and paintings created in this period as well as his mastery of three-dimensional figures, it seems surprising that the reviewers of the Academy of Arts suspended him for two consecutive times. The German historian Werner Maser, who was not exactly a friend of Hitler, criticized Hitler's examiners stateing, "All his works reveal an extraordinary knowledge and awareness of architecture". The builder of the Third Reich gave reason for the Academy of Arts to be embarrassed.

All work, whether or not political, not enhance the splendor of beauty is but a tree without roots, ready to be discarded by the next storm.
