Day 1 work in progress…A pencil drawing of the famous photo of a Tiger I heavy tank moving through the fields of Kursk, July 1943.

The Tiger I panzer is known officially as the Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung E.

The Tiger I was a German heavy tank of World War II that began operational duty in 1942 in Africa and in the Soviet Union, usually in independent heavy tank battalions.

It gave the German Army its first armoured fighting vehicle that mounted the 8.8 cm (3.5 in) KwK 36 gun (derived from the 8.8 cm Flak 36, the famous “eighty-eight” feared by Allied troops). 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944. After August 1944, production of the Tiger I was phased out in favour of the Tiger II.

A print of my pencil drawing of Arno Breker’s “Bereitschaft” - “Readiness” statue hanging between swords in the house of a good friend.

The aesthetic military propaganda-value message of such a sculpture (that the man, with his sword half-drawn, is ready for battle) is clearly rooted in the year of its release, 1939, the sculpture symbolic of how the German people must prepare themselves for war. This was planned as one of the grandstands in the colonnade at Tribünenbau at Zeppelintribüne (Zeppelin field), standing at approx. 3.89 m. on a 1.5m stone pedestal, later moved to Berlin and erected on Theodor Heuss Square. It was also exhibited at the Grosse Deutsche Kunstaustellung of 1939 in the Haus der Deutschen Kunst in Munich.

Day 5 work in progress…A pencil drawing of the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, also known as the Palazzo della Civiltà del Lavoro, or in everyday speech as the Colosseo Quadrato (“Square Colosseum”) in Rome.

Designed in 1938 by Italian architects: Giovanni Guerrini, Ernesto La Padula, and Mario Romano. The building is an example of Italian Rationalism and 1930’s architecture with neoclassical design, representing romanita, a philosophy which encompasses the past, present, and future all in one. The monumentality of the structure was meant to reflect the regime’s new course in Italian history.

The design of the “Square Colosseum” was inspired by the Colosseum, and the structure was intended by Mussolin! as a celebration of the older Roman
landmark. Similar to the Colosseum, the palace has a series of superimposed loggias, shown on the facade as 6 rows of 9 arches each.

Atop all four sides of the building runs an inscription taken from a speech that Mussolin! delivered on 2 October 1935: “Un popolo di poeti, di artisti, di eroi, di santi, di pensatori, di scienziati, di navigatori, di
trasmigratori” (‘a nation of poets, of artists, of heroes, of saints, of thinkers, of scientists, of navigators, of migrators”).

At the 4 corners of the podium are placed four equestrian sculptural groups by Publio Morbiducci and Alberto de Felci, representing the Dioscuri, the two mythical Greek heroes, sons of Zeus and Leda.
Around the base of the building are 28 additional statues of approximately 3.4 meters in height, each under an arch, illustrating various industries and trades.

Moving around the building clockwise from the entrance, the statues represent:

Heroism, Music, Handicrafts, Political Genius, the Social Order, Labor, Agriculture, Philosophy, Commerce, Industry, Archaeology, Astronomy, History,
Inventive Genius, Law, Architecture, the Supremacy of Navigation, Sculpture, Mathematics, the Genius of the Theatre, Chemistry, Printing, Medicine, Geography, Physics, the Genius of Poetry, Painting and Military genius.

“People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest. It was a scandal that a breed of fearless and sinister people ran around freely, so they attached a nickname and a myth to these people to get even with them, to make up for the many times they had felt afraid.”
Hermann Hesse, Demian p. 123, 1919.

Right : A pencil drawing of Arno Breker’s statue “Der Schwertträger” / “Die Wehrmacht” - The Sword Bearer / The Army.

These stood outside and flanked the grand entrance in the Court of Honour of The New Reich Chancellery.

These were the most famous bronze monumental statues (with a height of 3,2m) created by Breker, commissioned by Albert Speer in 1938. Jennifer Mundy of the Tate in London said “these two were the cornerstones of the Reich’s spirit and power.”

“As long as we have a youth that stands for all that is strong and manly our future is assured.”
Ernst Jünger

Another photo of a good friend posing with in front of the print of my pencil drawing of the bronze statue of “An Athlete Wrestling with a Python”.

This was the first of three bronze sculptures produced by the British artist Frederic Leighton, 1st Baron Leighton, PRA (1830 – 1896). Completed in 1877, the sculpture was a departure for Leighton, and heralded the advent of a new movement, New Sculpture, taking realistic approach to classical models. It has been described as a “sculptural masterpiece” and as “possibly Leighton’s greatest contribution to British art”. Despite its indebtedness to the Classical tradition, it can be understood as one of the first stirrings of modern sculpture in Britain as well as in Europe. The Athlete was arguably the most influential piece of English sculpture of the 19th century.

FEINDE RINGSUM • ENEMIES ALL AROUND

Right : A pencil drawing of “Feinde ringsum” (Enemies All Around) also known as Siegfried, created by German artist Franz von Stuck.

The figure was created around 1913-1914, representing the mythological hero Siegfried as a symbol of Germany surrounded by enemies during the outbreak of World War I.

It reflects the German national anxieties of the early 20th century, visualizing a phrase coined by Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1914.

The statue depicts a dynamic muscular, nude male figure holding an archaic sword high behind his head, standing on a circular base inscribed with the title.

A good friend posing with 2 prints of my drawings.

On the wall a print of my pencil drawing of the bronze statue of “An Athlete Wrestling with a Python”.

The Athlete was arguably the most influential piece of English sculpture of the 19th century.

He’s holding a print of my pencil drawing of Arno Breker’s “Bereitschaft” - Readiness Created in 1939, it depicts a male nude drawing a sword, with excellently modelled muscles and sketchily modelled outlines of the head. The plinth in the form of rocks, inscribed with the artist’s signature “A. Breker” and foundry mark “Guss Schmäke Düsseldorf”. The aesthetic military propaganda-value message of such a sculpture (that the man, with his sword half-drawn, is ready for battle) is clearly rooted in the year of its release, 1939, the sculpture symbolic of how the German people must prepare themselves for war.

“To the world you are a mother, but to your family, you are the world.”

“My dear child, the day you notice that I am old - and I am afraid it will not be long - be patient and try to understand... Maybe my years are over. Wrinkles may have scratched my face...
But neither my heart lost its tenderness, nor my eyes their kindness. From the first moment I was by your side and I was waiting for your arrival with unspeakable longing!
And when the miracle happened, the heavens opened from my happiness and my joy was indescribable! In the past years I was by your side with the love you deserved and the tenderness you need! But time is relentless and the changes on us are visible. So if I sometimes get dirty while eating or if I have difficulty getting dressed, show understanding...
Remember how patiently I spent endless hours helping you!
When we talk, if I repeat the same things two or three times do not misunderstand me. Listen to me.
When you were a small child I had to tell you the same story many times until you fell asleep. When I do not want to take a shower do not get angry. Remember the thousands of excuses you found in order to convince me not to bathe you...
When you notice my ignorance about the new technology, give me the necessary time to adapt and do not look at me with a playful smile. When we talk and I forget something, give me time to remember it. And if I can not do not be upset. The most important thing is not the conversation itself but the joy of being together and talking! I taught you so many things! Eat right... Dress properly... Face life with courage...
When I do not want to eat do not push me. I know very well when I should and when I should not.
And when my tired legs do not allow me to walk do not be upset. It's natural!
Give me your hand to hold on. I did the same when you took your first steps. Ι know that my age does not allow me to be as active as I would like. However, I manage to survive.
One day you will understand what I mean... One day you will realize that despite my mistakes, I always wanted the best for you. And I tried with all my might to prepare your way!
Give me your hand and help me finish my journey with patience, love and peace.
And I will repay you with a smile and the immense love I have inside me for you.
I love you... Your mum”

“Habent sua fata libelli et balli.”
“Books and bullets have their own destinies.”
Ernst Jünger, Storm of Steel

This phrase is a notable adaptation by German author Ernst Jünger in his WWI memoir, Storm of Steel. It modifies the Latin proverb Habent sua fata libelli (“books have their own destinies”), adding “...et balli” to imply that both literature and bullets follow unpredictable paths, beyond the control of their creators.

A pencil drawing of a reenactment of a WWII German soldier with a double bell 98k cartridge stripper clip for his Kar98k rifle.

Drawn after a photo of @ilfinnico_ by
@marco_reenactment_photographer

He is depicted wearing a Stahlhelm (German for “steel helmet”). The Karabiner 98 kurz, often abbreviated Karabiner 98k, Kar98k or K98k and also sometimes incorrectly referred to as a K98 (a K98 is a Polish carbine and copy of the Kar98a), is a bolt-action rifle chambered for the 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge. It was adopted on 21 June 1935 as the standard service rifle by the German Wehrmacht. It was one of the final developments in the long line of Mauser military rifles.

DEUTSCHLAND FÜR DICH

A pencil drawing of The Memorial to the fallen German soldiers in Sandkamp of World War I near Wolfsburg, Lower Saxony, Germany. The sculptor is unidentified. The absolute majority of the German war memorials originally commemorated soldiers fallen during the First World War. Most of them were extended later to show the names of locals who died at the front lines of World War Il in addition. The youthful warrior is depicted in an upright pose kneeling on one knee, wearing a Stahlhelm (‘steel helmet’), grips a sword in his right hand and in the other he a wreath of oak leaves. Following the ideal figure of ancient models, the naked, athletic body of the warrior is muscularly modeled.
