Was a German artist.In the late 1930s the minister of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Weil der Stadt, August Uhl, commissioned his childhood friend to created a stained-glass window commemorating the life of Christ. This was a politically brave request because in 1936 Huber's work had been labeled by the Nazis as "degenerate," although his work was not included in the infamous Entartete Kunst show in Munich in 1937. After working for two years on the project in Weil der Stadt, in 1940 Huber unveiled his new window, one panel of which shows the temptation scene from the gospel of Matthew, in which Satan offers all the realms of the world to Jesus, if he will only worship Satan. Satan bears the unmistakable features of Adolf Hitler. This window is considered Huber's masterwork.[1]
