His structural art did look kinda cool, but totally devoid of any life, just structural art. NOT ACCEPTED in the halls of great artists, next best thing, TAKE OVER AND CREMATE THE HATE. I do hope Bob 'faggy pants' Ross got away. 🎨

The Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna actually believed Hitler had talent, but more so in rendering architecture than in fine art (Hitler couldn't sufficiently draw the human form, only landscapes and buildings) so in 1907 they recommended him for the School of Architecture - which they felt more reflected his true talent. But unlike the Academy of Fine Arts the School of Architecture required its applicants to have a high school diploma, which Hitler didn't have. He never finished high school and didn't go back for his diploma. Hitler instead remained laser focused on getting into the Academy of Fine Arts - this was a difficult prospect for even very talented artists, and Hitler was not well rounded enough to be considered that exceptional.

Alfred Roller, a professor at the Vienna School of Applied Arts, who was a friend and neighbor of Hitler, wrote a letter of recommendation for him the second time he applied in 1908, which may have secured him a position in the school, but for reasons unknown to history, Hitler never showed up for the interview. It could be he knew deep down he wasn't good enough and didn't want to experience another face to face rejection.

During this time Hitler shared an appartment with his friend August Kubizek who was also an artist, but in the field of music. They were so obsessed with the work of Richard Wagner that they would spend all their money at times on tickets to see performances live in the opera houses. According to Kubizek, Hitler would become impassioned and express grand ideas of how they could re-make the world and rebuild cities after hearing the performance. Think of the effect hearing Ride of The Valkyries would have on a mind as complex as Hitler's.

Many people don't know this but after Hitler rose to power 30 years later he reconnected with August Kubizek and kept him around as the only non-political confidant in his inner circle. When the war ended Kubizek wrote a book called The Young Hitler I Knew (1953), which is where all this information comes from.
