When we conceived this project we envisioned the Austrian painter living in a musty old apartment and living the life of an old bohemian.
This was certainly true of Hitler who was a flop house artist more or less supporting himself.
Hitler lived in a one room sublet until the late 20's. In 1929, we think, with the success of Mein kampf He moved into a nine room 3rd floor apartment complete with three bedrooms, two baths and a maid. Hitler spent much time decorating his knew digs and spent lavishly on furniture and other home items. Later he redecorated the Reich Chancellery and official residence.
It looks like the Austrian painter is going to have to be more than a solitary old man in a cramped apartment.
