In the Beginning Was the Word, by the German artist Hermann Otto Hoyer (1893-1965). Dating from 1937, 14 years after the failed “Beer Hall Putsch” which landed him and his supporters in jail, the work depicts a youthful Adolf Hitler addressing a rapt group of men and women. He and his listeners are enclosed in sha­dows, but their faces are illuminated by a seeming divine light. Standing in front of a partially visible Nazi flag, his left hand placed firmly on his hip, the suit- and tie-clad Hitler dramatically raises his slightly open right palm as if displaying to the group a new-found powerful truth. Hoyer, whose right arm was badly injured in the First World War and who later became a member of the Nazi party, has portrayed his subject as a quasi-messianic figure, the bearer of salvation to the German people. Combined postage is available, please request an invoice before making payment.
