Artist's Comments

My first photo-manipulation! Homage to the dada artists who ridiculed the Nazis in the 1930s.

Not many people know that the Nazis actually stole the Mona Lisa from the Louvre, during WW2. It was among the art treasures they hid in a mine shaft in Austria. Were it not for some heroic Anti-Nazi Austrian SOE agents, who secured the site (after being dropped in the area by the British) the Nazi zealots would have blown up the mine shaft and its priceless contents, with a bomb that had been brought there especially. Other renaissance treasures stashed in crates there included a Van Eyck altarpiece, several Titians and a Botticelli. That the Mona Lisa was also there was hushed up for a long time after the war, probably to avoid embarrassing the French.

Thats true! And the paraglider, catapult, diving-equipment and lot of other war machines. And he dissected corpses to find out how we are built up. And he drawed the first robot.

I my opinion he is the smarted man who ever walked the face of this earth!
