  Richard Wagner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hitler was an admirer of Wagner's music, and sought to incorporate it into his heroic mythology of the German nation (a nation that had no formal identity prior to 1871).
Most of his plots were based on Northern European mythology and legend.
In Tristan und Isolde, he explored the limits of the traditional tonal system that gave keys and chords their identity, pointing the way to atonality in the 20th century.

 Wilhelm Furtwangler, Genius Forged in the Cauldron of War, Classical Notes, Peter Gutmann
Fred Prieberg calls this a protective mythology which Furtwängler created to shield himself from accountability in a real world in which civilizations do fail, in which people are held responsible for their leaders, and in which art cannot be so conveniently isolated from politics.
Furtwängler's tragedy was that he had to believe this illusion of permanent German cultural merit in order to justify his life's work.
But instead of the seething, emotional catharsis suggested by the circumstances of its composition, or a beleaguered artist's visionary escape into new tonal territory, the sprawling work is a pastiche of older styles, meandering among glimmers of Brahms, Strauss, Sibelius and Bruckner without ever asserting an identity of its own.

Large format cameras are the purview of art photographers (who claim and use everything from old throwaway polaroid cameras to 11x14 Linhofs) and commercial photographers.
