Why was Adolf Hitler rejected from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna?

His paintings look pretty good

He went on to make art regardless, so it all worked out.

Because they said that Hitler would be better off with architecture, not with painting.
Remember this whenever you encounter some nigger saying that Hitler was rejected because his paintings were shit.

He was unlucky enough to paint at the start of the expressionist period.

So basically a bullshit Jew reason
Glad they suffered

Good painting. But boring.

He was rejected because they think he is boring.

So he becomes fucking interesting didn't he?

in the 5th chapter of mein kampf hitler said that art board he was applying to didn't like his architecture style or something

also if you look carefully at that painting, the proportions and perspective are a little off

it's not a bad painting, but if you are an art critic you could easily find a few things to point out for improvement

He had real trouble with perspectives, if you can't see that from his paintings then you are fucking blind.

Still a lot better than shit in blender for sure and other garbage postmodern art making some retarded statements.

(((art)))


ahahahaha you people are funny

art school is the study of memes

memes contain information and convey it in various ways

art school gathers people with similar views and turns them into meme masters for (((the cause)))

Hitler made the wrong memes

His grasp of perspective wasn't that great either

They are, but he honestly was better suited for architecture. His paintings didn't really have any emotional impact, and he wasn't that good at drawing figures and people. He should have taken the academy's advice and became an architect, because he was legitmately better suited for it.

>So he becomes fucking interesting didn't he?
it's very fucking interesting, if you read mein kampf you really feel for him as hitler suffers to support himself finacially and ends up finding out his true passions in politics as he fails getting into art school

So he needed to work on perspectives. Isn't that...kinda the point of art "school"?

Fucking art consumers are trendwhores. Few of the artists who get big actually like the things they make. Otherwise it's marketing and branding.

There's more artistic integrity at shitty little ad agencies.

And even so, you go to art school

to be taught.

That's literally the whole point of a school.

Because the school didn't want to fund his ash based painting, but he didn't let them crush his dreams and he went on to fulfill his vision

So, this academy should be blamed for the rise of Hitler? AUSTRIA YES

They thought he was a boring artist but an interesting politician clearly great judgement on their part

Ayyyyyy!

Standards were higher back then.

His perspective is kinda fucked, just look at the corner of the house.
That and he couldn't do anatomy for shit.

I'd still like to own one of his works, it would look nice hanging in my living room.

you don't go to art school to be taught art 101, perspective is a very basic technique.

Compared to today when any retard can be called an "artist" and get accepted to any one of those fly by night glorified community college of art, in those days an artist was a craftsman and must have a firm grasp of the fundamentals of all the schools of art of the day. Art schools were prestigious institutions that took their reputation seriously, unlike today where art has been overtaken by theory....
Tl;dr: art school was a big deal back then and hitler just wasn't good enough.

Nah. Art "school" is just where rich kids who wanted to avoid doing anything too mentally taxing go. Surprise surprise, if they want to actually get good at it and develop the craft, it's probably harder and takes more dedication than compsci. So they just end up throwing a bunch of scribbles on a canvas, or turning over an ashtray on a bedspread and calling it a day.

Art isn't something you need a school for anyway if you're an actual artist.

look at this pic closely. there are so many perspecitve and light / shadow faults. he really was shitty at it.

Artists and critics are fucking fickle?

art is memes

Art school is an indoctronary circle jerk, essentially like reddit before the internet

they need to learn some perspective...

Hitelr would have been better off in Paris, his art would have found a niche in that day and age

this for fucks sake

Its a SCHOOL and he cleary had enough talent to begin with.

Actually it's the guy who stole his dog who was his best friend from the trenches.

No I am not joking.

Uhh, because he was literally Hitler retard

I'm going to clarify some things about art.

>First of all, who buys art?
Rich people.
>Why?
Investment. If the artist is "good", the prices may sky-rocket.
Not to mention the fact art being expensive and lightweight and not currency, is used for illegal transactions and tax evading.
Basically, rich people buy art for money.
>Okay, so what do rich people look for?
Distinct, identifying style. An expert could look at a piece and say "Yes, that's done by [artist]".
A piece of art, is like a share, and the artist is the company.
You're really buying a piece of the artist, hoping that he becomes successful enough for the price to rise.
There are a thousand pictures of architectural buildings, millions of Victorian-era portraits of babies and children. No one can name a single artist.

So, to summarise, no matter the realism or decency of the painting, how "good" the art is or the message behind it is - what really passes for art these days is a selective criteria based on the distinction of the artist.

Thery'll look for something that stand out (regarless of how good it is), how connected the artist is (effects how they may sell the art), and how much effort the artist goes through to make connections.

Essentially, fiscally, the Jews were right.
Hitlers artwork would have been better suited towards architecture, as despite it's realism lacked distinction that would have made him an artist worth investing in.

>tfw you will never be inspired by the great works of your generation and art will never be taken seriously as a trade anymore

Someone went back in time, and posed as his art teacher. Probably a jew

Why did hitler's parents name him hitler? absolute madmen

>So basically a bullshit Jew reason
What stupid statement is that?

Remember when art schools were prestigious non liberal cuck institutions

Gee, it's almost like it's something you'd go to a university to learn and fix.

I'm assuming that the windows are supposed to be the same size on both faces of the building. If so, he dun fuked up

it took Europeans centuries to understand perspective and Hitler couldn't look up 'how to perspective' on youtube.

unless you are a pepe artist

or a meme creator

Because the current style of painting in art was not the style he was doing. He couldn't paint people or portraits with clarity and detail. He was rejected because at the time landscapes and buildings in his style were considered passé

His perspective sucks, and the painting lacks imagination

>artists

All you had to do was follow the damn train CJ

I am not denying the man had talent, it is just that the art school in Vienna was a big deal back then and only accepted the best of the best, and tough luck to hitler, he just wasn't up to their standards. Besides, he clearly states in mein kampf after his second attempt to get into art school that he would quit willingly and move onto his passion in politics, and it work out for him...sorta

He got rejected because the school had better applicants. He could have applied for some other art school, or honed his craft independently or under some master. He could have learned that stuff by simply doing forgeries or copies of other peoples work.

Also, his paintings are boring, you can find thousands of artists who painted the same and were better at it from a technical point of view.

To all the retards: Hitlers lackluster artistic talent does not deduct from anything else he did, so there is no need to get sand in your vaginas when people tell you he wasn't good at painting.

The ultimate redpill is that Hitler was born too late to be accepted in modern art schools.

jews

>>First of all, who buys art?
>Rich people.

Correct.

>>Why?
>Investment. If the artist is "good", the prices may sky-rocket.

Incorrect.
It's because it's a money-laundering scheme. Has nothing to do with investment.

This, Hitler and his coterie despised non-traditional art. They often collected large amounts of art and hosted it in "degenerate art" galleries to mock them. Pretty based desu.

I am an architectural historian and this thread is fucking

RETARDED

please go back to posting about contemporary culture and politics

>if you were in vienna....

>that pic
the perspectives are off in that, granted the painting far better than something i could ever make

Actually, you do. Most high level art universities in the US start you off with your humanities and boring bullshit like life drawing, or introduction to painting, or color theory.

Hitler could paint better than the majority of graduates from these colleges, especially when you consider this as one of the pieces from his application portfolio.

t. art student

One, that's a stupid fucking meme. It's two different art movements. Two, painting is a dead medium now. If you want better fine art look to sculpture.

Isn't "improvement" the whole point of going to Art School?

Kikes pedaling "modern art"

That first chapter of Mein Kamph when you hear about how much he wanted to go to art school makes you feel, man.

Fascists are said to be those that truly represent the spirits of their nation. Hitler could have battled kikes in the art world rather than the real world.

welcome reddit

??

Ideology is memes and nazism was the ultimate happening led by the God memester himself

His first name is Adolf

FPBP

I would probably agree with you if I knew your stance

its a question that is never asked.

compare art school enrolment in the early 1900s and art school enrolment now.

hint: all forms of post-secondary education have been dumbed down to such a degree that someone that doesn't even speak english can enter pretty much any program.

Fairly certain this is just representative of a collapse in standards, but I'm not sure.

memes convey ideology

Art conveys aspects and the psychology of said ideologies as reminders for us to enjoy

>pediments bowing out of control
>horizontals arent straight
>architecture is quasi-realist
>sky is a poor apology for impressionist
>no contiguity in the piece
>literally my mom's watercolor postcard

Just because you couldnt paint it, doesnt mean its good faggot

>kamph

whatever I've been anglicized. Deal with it.

but it is just like the same as a college, you have to be up to a certain standard to even get accepted. I don't know how high the standards were for 1910's Austria, but they must have been pretty damn high

Does anyone know (((who))) was in charge of admissions at the Academy of Fine Arts

he should have put that into perspective when he decided it was a good idea to invade russia

He was destined for something much greater, Kek himself probably stamped the rejection letter

hitler would do sick memes man

stfu jew I can tell you're up to no good

So basically... if he got into art school (and the dog thing)... he wouldn't have been hilter?

Really makes you think

some people get into All the Ivys or one liberal ivy and a southern ivy/ high level school

>have phd
>am reddit

>frogposting
>idiotic anachronistic opinions about """art"""
>isn't reddit

what is this alternate dimension?

It is now. Then it was as well but you had to have talent in the style they deemed appropriate. Because the schools were more like tutaleges. You learned to paint like X, so if you didn't have certain skills they just cut you. The man couldn't paint people, there's a good documentary on it.

>That first chapter of Mein Kamph
the first chapter of mein KAMPF is him talking about his youth in austria-hungary, his relationship with his father, trying to figure out if he wants to work for the gouvernment, and his first thoughts on the importance of nationality. he doesn't talk about art school until like the 3rd chapter

No it's not. it's shifted to the left. it's damn near dead on.

not all of his paintings are perfect but that one is fine.

Once again, his art is just plain representational stuff without much in the way of character. It's no coincidence art started to drift from realism when photography was invented.

>YFW majoring in art history actually actually be useful right nowl....

I studied architecture and still don't see the problem with perspective in Hitler's work. With German universities you're almost guaranteed to be taught nonsense, granted, but this keeps confusing me. What is the actual problem with, say, the pictures shown by OP?

is it me or does it look like the building bends a little bit though?

is this real?

Christ that is depressing.

Cry more reddit. Having a reddit degree doesn't make you belong here.

This is what WWI did the the minds of European artists who later became anarchists and communists/ anti capitalists

Dadism

it was zee jooo

I went to art school, it's a bunch of jews, faggots and non-whites making total garbage and being praised by the (((teachers))).

Mean while, some jew who couldn't draw yet was a figure drawing instructor used to draw all over my pictures telling me parts were wrong.

Jews don't know proportions or perspective for shit. Hitler was a grandmaster compared to them.

Also on top of that I had another Jew teacher who couldn't use 3D software or digital software teach a digital class--and he had been manager on all these Disney and Pixar projects. He couldn't draw or use the software he would just come up with stupid project with no instruction like:

"Make a sack of flower with emotions."

Then he left for Rosh Hashanah right before finals where he probably jerked off to child porn all day.

Everyone created formless blobs, I was the only one with a realistic sack, rendered in multiple passes and materials. Got a C because I questioned his BS Kosher authority the whole class.

tl;dr, We need mass-gassings and concentration camps to save modern fashion, gaming, art, and cinema.

Its almost like he could have benefited from attending some sort of school to hone his natural borne talents. He was rejected by these schools in favor of Mr. Goldstein's nephew

Aesthetics have not changed. What constitutes as a realistic still-life or architectural study have not changed.

Politics have.

can i get an original source on that video?

*picture

My mistake. But then linked some more, so I guess the point still stands.

>pol is still posting about things it -very- clearly knows nothing about
this shit is rustling my jimmies and its not because I am a shill for modern art, its because none of you know how to actually criticize it

read
a
book
faggots

you would all sound incredibly stupid if you said any of this shit to anyone whose ever published anything

>comparing hitler's work used to get into art school to pieces finished post art school

hmm

haha epic memeees duuude!!!!!!

FPBP

It's a bigger answer I just don't want to type it all out. I'm not even all that versed in German art movements from that era. I'm basing that on how earlier schools worked and how later design schools worked.
