The Lion's Command

The German philosopher Schopenhauer said, "One will be forced to agree with the poet: life is a big dream."This brings to mind one particular figure, surprisingly and often overlooked is his painting career. He once dreamed of becoming a painter, but was repeatedly neglected. Few people believe that his seemingly crude paintings have profound connotations, which is so important to him that throughout his life, he considered himself an artist rather than a politician.
