Description of the artwork «"Glamorous Fascist" or "True Aryan"»

It is for certain known that the artist tried to depict in his picture the German chancellor Adolf Hitler. But for a number of reasons, the author could not physiognically reflect the similarity of the person depicted in the picture and the prototype. For the same reason, the author refused to draw the Fuhrer's world-famous mustache, because he still does not look alike. But the author has kept all the attributes of Hitler. This is the cap of the Supreme Commander of the Wehrmacht with a red band and a purple visor and a swastika framing the mirror from all sides. The idea of the picture is this: A middle-aged man has already acquired erotic lingerie and decided to try it on in front of a mirror. Well, he mechanically greeted himself in a Nazi salute by raising his right hand up. Like: "Heil Hitler".
