Adolf Hitler. Urban Landscape: Vienna's sight.

From 1905, Hitler lived a bohemian life in Vienna, financed by orphan's benefits and support from his mother. He worked as a casual labourer and eventually as a painter, selling watercolours of Vienna's sights. Vienna's Academy of Fine Arts rejected him in 1907 and again in 1908, citing "unfitness for painting".The director recommended that Hitler study architecture , which was also an interest, but he lacked academic credentials.On 21 December 1907, his mother died of breast cancer at the age of 47. After the academy's second rejection, Hitler ran out of money and was forced to live in homeless shelters and men's hostels.
By the way, this is a great watercolor, why he was rejected remains a mystery! Hitler wanted to be  an artist: believe it or not, he wasn´t interested in politics at all!
