The bar must have been pretty high back then if those works weren't good enough to at least grant him admission into the arts academy. His biggest issue was that he wasn't into drawing people, which seems like a silly thing to demerit.

no he wasnt. an artist does more than just transcribe mundane details onto paper. an artist expresses his emotions and thoughts onto paper. also, his technique is very amateurish

Well yeah, it's amatuerish. That's why he was trying to go to school.

I can certainly respect artists who express themselves in their art, but I still think landscapes/cityscapes are worthy of recognition too.

Agreed. He's good in terms of the fundamental composition. Perspective, negative spaces, shared edges, and lighting are present and on point.

Yeah he totally lacks the ability to express his emotion. It's not like he had the capacity to galvanize negative emotion or affect people in any real way.

Literally a middle schooler's painting

Hitler's art sucked, he was uninspired and lacked any actual talent
He deserved to fail art school tbh

He was certainly good enough to be accepted into an art school you'd think.

Don't know why he was kicked out of art school.

The art school that I was going to endows the students with the ability to make very technically accurate drawings and paintings, but the works are mostly devoid of life, emotion, and character.

Would you say that they aren't artists?

Those paintings are completely blase, bring nothing new to the table. His technique, for the time, was probably seen as sloppy and entirely amateurish. You have to remember, universities and schools in the past were not all-inclusive institutions that we as Americans are used to. They were instead very exclusive, hard to get into.

Hitler's art is boring and bland. He showed no particular talent or flash in his technique or creativity.

The art academies back then (I mostly studied the ones in France and Russia in the 18th and 19th centuries) were indeed exclusive and I could see why his work wouldn't have been good enough to gain him entry.

Compare his works to this work by Bouguereau before he gained entry to the Academy in France:

Hitler’s style was very calculated when representing architecture in his paintings. Instead of progressing in his artistic influence, his works copied the artists of the nineteenth century and many of the masters preceding him.

Maybe those are his emotions and thoughts, and we just don't understand them. As an artist myself, I don't see how we can try and understand. I'm not saying they are good, but that's probably because we don't think and feel the same way about stuff as Hitler.

no. all he did was copy and transcribe what he saw onto paper. no meaning or emotion whatsoever. copying is good for practice and learning, but you have to trascend that and apply your own ideas onto paper
