Before entering politics Adolf Hitler was a painter. Twice rejected for a place at Viennas Akademie der bildenden Künste (Academy of Fine Arts), he had strident views on the nature of art and its role in society – ones he did not abandon even in the midst of the Nuremberg rallies. It is not the mission of art, the Führer proclaimed to the assembled crowd in September 1935, to wallow in filth for filths sake, to paint the human being only in a state of putrefaction, to draw cretins as symbols of motherhood, or to present deformed idiots as representatives of manly strength.
