In Austria, when the artist now known as Friedensreich Hundertwasser was a little boy, he and his mother were in danger of being sent to the camps (as were his mother's family), because she was Jewish. So she had him join the Hilter Youth, to hide the fact they were Jewish and pose as being Christian. This experience stayed with him and affected his attitude toward authority. He died in 2000, but his work was about celebrating nature, saving the environment and giving people the freedom to live as they chose. His architecture avoided any straights lines, because those reminded him of the regimented order of the Hitler Youth. There are no straight lines in nature, he argued.
