Be impressed by Hitler's literature and art

I once read an article: How did Hitler change from Wen Qing to a madman? It is mentioned that Hitler lived as a freelance painter in Berlin and Munich until he joined the army in 19 14. When he was young, he wanted to be a painter and dreamed of becoming an architect, all of which were put on hold because of academic qualifications.

There are about 1500 art books in Hitler's library, which is his unique personal hobby. I have to admit that Hitler has a high artistic taste, and he is very good at music, architecture and fine arts. Politics aside, Hitler can really be regarded as a young man of literature and art.

First of all, let's look at Hitler's "Wen Qing" style:

This photo was published by photographer Heinrich Hoffmann in the late 1920s. One of them was taken when he was camping in the Woods, wearing shorts and high-waisted socks and leaning against the trunk. He looks very happy.

Secondly, his paintings, is it hard to imagine what kind of works he painted with hand-painted with human blood?

Hitler, who wanted to apply for the Vienna Institute, was very angry because his paintings failed and he was not accepted. He thought that the world must have suffered a great loss because the art school refused to admit him. Some people lamented the historic mistake of Vienna Art Institute. If they recognized Hitler, maybe he wouldn't be a Nazi madman who endangered mankind. However, how can there be so many "possibilities" in history?

However, today I want to talk to you about Hitler's favorite music. Hitler's love for music is well known to the world. 1942 On April 20th, Hitler's 53rd birthday celebration, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was played. Hitler's army was defeated at the gates of Stalingrad, and Beethoven's Hero Symphony played the second movement of the funeral March. On May 1945, German Radio announced its surrender, followed by brukner's Symphony No.7. Facts have proved once again that the wicked really like listening to classical music. For details, please see the last article: The most elegant devil in the world.

Hitler's favorite music is magnificent and voluminous, especially Wagner's music. Hitler's worship of Wagner's music accompanied him all his life. Since he wandered in Vienna, he has often bought station tickets to enjoy Wagner's operas.

"Any German who wants to understand national socialism must understand Wagner." Hitler once said.

What is Wagner music? Then you should know Wagner first. His full name is wilhelm richard wagner (1865438+May 22, 2003-1February 65438, 883). He is a German composer and a famous classical music master. Wagner is an important master in the history of German opera. Because of the complexity of his political and religious thoughts, he has also become the most controversial figure in the history of European music.

Woody Allen once famously said in The Mysterious Murder in Manhattan: "As soon as I heard Wagner's music, I wanted to invade Poland!" In the history of music, he is a famous "bad guy": romantic, extravagant, jealous of his peers, writing anonymous letters to slander them; Politically, he wavered, turned against Judaism and took part in the democratic revolution ... Liang Wendao thought Wagner was an artistic "dictator".

Having said that, Wagner's music is really attractive and complete. Maybe you've heard his play:

This big musical lasted for 26 years. Creative inspiration comes from stories and characters in Nordic mythology. At that time, many people thought that such a huge script could not be made into music. But he succeeded. He used more than 200 leading motives to run through the whole play, and used two lines of light and dark to promote the development of the plot.

Since I haven't seen it much, let's talk more. The soundtrack in the play is super shocking! During the intermission, the band played a gorgeous interlude "A Journey to Valkyrie". This piece of music is so wonderful that Coppola, the great director of Hollywood, moved it to the movie "Apocalypse Now" intact, but instead of Valkyria, it was an armed helicopter flying in the sky. This is the music inserted at the beginning of the text.

Before Hitler became head of state, when he was down and out, he thought Wagner's opera was the only thing that kept him from sinking. Hitler was 12 years old when he first heard the melody of Lohengreen in Linz, Austria, and he was "fascinated". He can hum many wonderful arias in Wagner's opera completely; The overture of "Li" made him highly excited; The Ring of Nibelungen inspired him to conceive the blueprint of national socialism. Hitler also went in and out of the Bayreuther Opera House countless times, and said, "The reuter Music Festival will always be the happiest day in my life".

Hegemony is revealed in the grand epic theme and melody, and there is a fanatical rationality, which conforms to the aesthetic of the Germanic nation and the political needs at that time. Wagner's music is really "disturbing" and can easily serve politics or religion. This passion incites slaughter ... "However, the controversy over Wagner's music has never stopped because of Hitler's pursuit of Wagner's music. In Israel, playing the works of German composer Wagner in public is a taboo, and every touch will lead to a wide-ranging debate.

Music art gives people spiritual and spiritual sustenance to a great extent. If it is used by politicians, who can tell?
