Hitler's paintings are the most poorly done works I ever seen from a painter. Lack of details, wrong proportion.

They're fine. Absolutely bang average. Every town has a dozen hobby painters of similar talent and abilities. That's the problem, he was just OK, not great, and applied to the most prestigious art school on Earth
>hurr but isn't art school there to teach you to be better
No. Not that one. He applied for the equivalent of MIT based on him being able to wire a plug.

>>17782157
Left side of the building is way too close to the viewer. The walkway also looks like shit. Like he took a ruler to it and then just shaded it in along a straight line.

>>17782180
Most of his paintings were actually watercolor postcards he sketched in a few hours
For example this one was made while he was a soldier during the battle of Fromelles

>>17782100 (OP)
They look like Hallmark Greeting Cards, just generic landscape slop that actually look okay at first glance but quickly become shit upon further scrutiny. Hitlers art is the exact type of art that people want to replace with AI. There was no way he was ever going to get into Art School when this was during the peak of the Expressionist movement and at what was essentially the capital of the expressionist movement in the early 20th century

>>17782669
>They look like greeting cards
Probably because that's what they were

>>17782671
Why did Hitler present Greeting Cards to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts expecting to be accepted? That was the most prestigious art school in the country, was he retarded?

>>17782669
Expressionism was a shit genre that ended up getting replaced by even more shit Abstract art. Now art is finally dead because there's nothing left to subvert

>>17782678
The point of Expressionism is to convey emotion through color theory and form alone without having to outright spell it out and tell you how to feel, many expressionist artists were critical of 19th century Romanticism for this exact reason. To them, Romanticism was the 19th and 20th century equivalent of feel-good turn-your-brain-off slop

>>17782683
And yet it got replaced by emotionless abstract art

>>17782673
He didn't, watercolor postcards is was what he sold on the street. He applied with pencil sketches which I assume was the norm. He got rejected because his drawings of people were considered mediocre, and they recommended he apply to the school of architecture instead

>>17782689
Abstract Art was basically just expressionism taken to 11, reducing its forms down to an astract (hence the name) design language. Where I think the two differ most is in their respective contexts. Abstract Art like I said closely follows design language, you would typically find expressionist art in an art gallery, but abstract art you would instead find in public spaces like parks or train stations or hospital waiting rooms or hotel lobbies, that would fill what would otherwise be blank space. Abstract art basically meant to change or influence the vibe or feeling of a given space without having to deal with concrete subject.

>>17782693
So it's just glorified graffiti. Except the grafitti artist at least does not make a profit and is therefore a more sympathetic character

>>17782695
Most graffiti resembles pop art moreso than just abstract expressionism. The point of abstract art is specifically that it has no strongly defined subject, just vague abstract forms and complementary colors, most graffiti actually deals in concrete subjects, whether its simple character art painted on a wall or a meme or some schizo saying something about the politician of the week

>>17782693
>simping this hard for slop
holy shit

>>17782100 (OP)
His art is comfy

>>17782708
I'm not saying that it was good necesarily, but I do think it deserves context for proper critique

>>17782180
engineers dont apply to MIT, non-engineers apply to MIT to become engineers.
All of this
>Hitler's art SUCKS!
is just an attack on Hitler because people dont like him as a person.
Theres nothing wrong with his art.
The Vienna art school wasnt the equivalent of MIT, it produced plenty of mediocrities and took in plenty of the talentless. Hitler wasnt an exceptional artist, he wasnt accepted like many other less than exceptional artists.
His work wasnt bad or anything, people just pretend it is because le racist.

>>17782100 (OP)
>why did guy who suck at art apply to go to an art school to learn?
gee i dunno

>>17782100 (OP)

If you're supposed to be a master before you go to school. What's the point of school? Why is no other artist in all of history held to the standard Hitler is held at?

>>17783105
no you should have a phd in aerospace engineering before even trying to apply to MIT

>>17783113
Why are schools like MIT and Stanford Computer science highly selective? To make sure you and your peers are among the ones with the highest potential

>>17783113
It wasn't a school, you retarded wagie cattle. It was one of the most prestigious private art academies in Europe at the time.

He really should have just been an architect

>>17783589
And he would have been if he had finished school, but without a certain degree, he couldn't apply to architecture school either. That's why he liked Albert Speer so much; he represented everything he would have liked to be, namely, an architect from a wealthy family (plus, Speer was a true gentleman; despite having the manners of someone of his class, he was humble).

But yeah, as an adult, Hitler knew that his true passion was buildings, urban planning, etc. Artistic expression (through things other than monumental constructions) was definitely not something that mattered much to him.

>>17782100 (OP)
I never noticed the hashmark shingles and cobbles. That's disqualifying.
>>17784152
Isn't God amazing? This guy changed the world and got absolute power, made himself master of Europe. He's considered the ultimate dictator, one of the most feared people ever. yet he still felt like a disadvantaged kid others were stepping on.

>>17783577

MIT has 11000 students. You're lucky if one of them is a Leonardo da Vinci.

>>17783113
His problem wasn't even that he wasn't a master. It was that he wasn't doing shit like pic related.

>>17782693
>>17782683
These pics are degenerate garbage and it would be okay to outlaw them.

>>17785287
>Isn't God amazing?
Anon, I don't think bringing that guy here, especially in this context, is going to go smoothly for you or the topix at hand.

>>17785372
all religions agree, for various reasons, that God was behind hitler

>>17785287
Rather than being about God's plan, for some exceptional people, their complexes are the very reason they achieve success. As a young man, Hitler always wanted to gain fame, first as a painter, then as an architect, and to live in a beautiful villa. His plans to show the world how ugly and unmagnanimous it was compared to his future German Empire were merely an echo of that frustrated dream.

>>17785582
Not God's plan like the great karma spirit punished his wrongdoing. It's just wonderful how petty and small human excellence is compared to something as simple as happiness, or a place you can't return to.

>>17782162
>>17782160
Who painted this?
Bad proportions and lights. Would not accept into art academy

>>17782683
What is wrong with degenerates pretending this is high form of art ?

>>17785362
This guy/gal was accepted to Vienna instead of Fuhrer ? Kek what a terrible recruitant

>>17785362
>>17786605
Vienna was literally the capital of the Expressionist Movement in the 20th century, whether or not you think it's legitimate art or degeneracy or whatever is besides the point, there was simply no way Hitler was going to compete with Expressionist artists. He was too autistic and obsessed with form. Him going into architecture was actually good advice but unfortunately he still had tard rage over it.

Lol

>>17782100 (OP)
well yeah, even as an amateur I see the windows are very crudely done and there's nothing interesting he captured

>>17782100 (OP)
He was just an average painter. I look at his stuff and just say to myself...meh decent

>>17782691
Why didn't he apply to the school of architecture the next year?

>>17782100 (OP)
>>17783105

Good for a beginner amateur, not good enough to cut it in the art world. Funnily enough most of his artistic benefactors were Jews incl. One who gave him a winter coat out of pity.

If your aunt did them you'd be impressed but they don't belong in a gallery.

>>17782100 (OP)
I feel like the whole purpose of going to a school is to learn, I don't know, maybe that's just me.

>>17782180
The Art School at Vienna wasn't the best one on earth or even particularly exclusive, that honor probably belonged to whichever of the Ecole in French fine arts held the most sway at the time. In truth it would not have really mattered where he applied, the style of his work was willfully conservative and restrained at a time where that was not what moved patronage. From his later achievements in life we know that his potential was massive and the clear talent on display in depictions of architecture do hint at that. Mind you he would have had zero formal training, this was just something he decided to do by himself maybe with a few books as guidance. I have done similar things with art and I can firmly say that even single point perspective is bedeviling, doubly so if it is done with a brush and mostly in isolation.

ah yes, very talented
