In preparation for the entrance exams, he was instructed to do more figure studies as that is basically all you do in art school. He instead spent the majority of his free time attending theater shows and arguing philosophy at social events instead of grinding fundies.

Not that this justifies rounding up your political opponents for wrongthink after taking power or anything, but I think someone should still address the elephant in the room in one of these threads: the entrance barrier even for top-tier prestigious art schools isn't that high now and it wasn't any higher then. It's absolutely possible, I've seen it happen to someone with autistic right wing views myself, that Hitler was rejected because the people in charge of judging his portfolio didn't think he'd "fit in" with the general atmosphere, because he was too open about holding political views unpopular in those circles.
>b-but he's a bad person, so no bad thing that ever happened to him could possibly have been undeserved

Yes but it still wasn’t the standard. Classical apprenticeship was still the norm back then, especially in Germany and Austria. Pic related is what was still painted in Austria, and sold well.
Hitler should have applied for architecture school, not art. His figures don’t have the level expected from art school at the time.

Embarrassing

>> No.4671461

to be fair he was stupid and some kind of a semi delusional sociopath, and he took his rejected way too harshly and it was just the wrong place at the wrong time and the first war took its hold on his life, if he had just been a normal rational human being and taken his art elsewhere he could have probably with his will or whatever it was become a well respected artist, who knows if his world changing qualities would have appeared in him as an artist as they did as a warlord, but oh well, no point in dwelling on alternative histories, it's just now a strange example of creativity at the heart of those who could commit such atrocities in such a disassociated manner

Maybe the left will stop comparing drumpf to literally hitler when a legit batshit insane right-wing identitarian influencer starts gaining real traction in reaction to the growing left-wing political violence, the system tries and fails to shut him down through noplatforming and violence and instead helps him rise to power.

I thionk this is the key. Hitler was clearly very good. He had no tutor, no money, received no education in art and yet he was very advanced. However his style was considered bland, boring, clichéd at that time. Universities had no interest in such things. Art moved on to weirder explorations. That's why they picked Schiele.

Thinking art academies back then would instantly take in “weird” applicants is a myth though. Schiele was good from day one, he had that “spark”. But he didn’t instantly come up with his famous style. Earlt Schiele is very typical of good “fin de siècle” style, ie post-impressionistic. His art was never hesitant.

A lot of you guys posting in this thread seem to be forgetting that art tutors can reject an art applicant for whatever reasons they please - for all any of us know they could have rejected Hitler because they thought he had a really shit personality and wouldn't have been a good fit at the school.
