Christian Griepenkerl: This is the man who rejected Adolf Hitler at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in 1908. What do you think of him and his art academy?

Looks terrible and generic subject

>>17787313
That is a man's ass.

>>17787307 (OP)
This is actually really impressive to find. I just sort of assumed subconsciously that exactly who rejected Hitler was unknown, and maybe by now untraceable.

For someone with so many accomplished students you'd think he would have had more talent

>>17787307 (OP)
>His conservative and "antiquated views" led to repeated protests on the part of his students and later even to withdrawals, leading among other things to the founding of the New Art Group.

>B-but muh shitler was totally rejected for not making le jewish abstract modern (((art)))!!!
what are /pol/tards not wrong about? were they ever right about anything?

>>17787312
Yeah. Back during his time, he was probably held in good esteem, but practically nobody knows about him, today.

>>17787774
You are onto something about the conservative nature of the professor and his more liberal students. My guess is that this man simply had more discriminating tastes when it came to even more traditional arts.

>You call this art?
>Where is the acid indiced schizophrenia, the people faces the ugliness kf modern art
>Its just too perfect to be xalled art,
>Noo you cant just like this instead of my ugly painting,
>Where is the message
>aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

>>17787774
I keep telling them they are wrong but the same thread pops up over and over again and they think the viennese academy was some kind of modernist jewish run institute

>>17787312
Yeah, stuff like this happens a lot. Likewise, nobody remembers Lesueur, Napoleon's favorite composer.

>>17787767
Some people are good at teaching and poor at doing.

As a general statement

>>17787774
Nah he was just rejected for being mediocre

He had shitty perspective skills

Hitler mainly painted buildings and landscapes. Very rarely people.

But he was good at what he did.

People always say Hitler was rejected from art school.... and though he was, it's a bit of a half truth. Griepkerl praised his Hitler's drawings of buildings and suggested that he apply to the Vienna school of architecture instead.

Hitler was always passionate about architecture and he designed the initial sketches of many Third Reich buildings (which were fully designed by Albert Speer, Hitler's chief architect).

I'm thinking Hitler actually would have really enjoyed architecture academically and as a career, in a different alternate universe.

But I think Hitler was very hurt by the suggestion to where he didn't take it seriously.

>>17792748
>But he was good at what he did.
He wasn't. The genre's full of artists who remain obscure because they never managed to rack up his body count.

>>17792775
That's good enough to become a student

>>17787307 (OP)
>nooo your art isnt perfect FUCK YOU, go become a dictator instead of an artist
what the fuck was his problem, of course his art had problems, you go to the art college to fix those problems

>>17792748
>But he was good at what he did.
Lol. Lmao even. Hitler fucking sucked. Couldn't even pull off basic perspective that 5th graders do in their weekly art class. He was suggested architecture because he was so shit at drawing basic shapes that the rigid rules of building plans might improve is utterly deficient sense of shape.

>>17793464
Houses with lopsided windows were pretty common back then

>>17790286
>Its just too perfect to be xalled art
even here the perspective is a just sligthly incorrect.
>Noo you cant just like this instead of my ugly painting,
>Where is the message
He got rejected for being bad at drawing people and got propossed to apply for architecture school and instead of doing that he submitted a picture of a building the second time. if he wasn't a retard he easily could've done art.

>>17787307 (OP)
Really interesting. This old man did not know it, but he affected so much of the future. It makes me wonder about the hobos I interact with, and if I get on their wrong side, there will be future political consequences that will change the course of history... maybe.

>>17793276
This wasn't some random community college. The Academy of Fine Arts was about refining talent, not training midwits

>>17787307 (OP)
kek, he actually painted the kind of stuff chuds would usually fawn over for being based and trad

>>17793468
The spirit level was invented in 1661 and long before that Roman masons and carpenters were using bottles with water, dipshit.

>>17790286
It isn't art because it has no technical or artistic merit. It's just a badly done drawing of a building that can't even get basic perspective right. Vanishing points stopped being bleeding edge 400 years before Adolf failed to understand them. Hitler specifically took pride in his art being a display of technical ability. The fact that he utterly lacked any technical ability shows how much of a retard he was.

>>17793464
>He was suggested architecture because he was so shit at drawing basic shapes that the rigid rules of building plans might improve is utterly deficient sense of shape.
Actually, it was because the evaluators legitimately believed that he had some talent that could be done there. Hitler himself even thought that architecture was his true calling. He never applied to the architecture school because designing buildings requires math and engineering principles. Architecture school required a high school diploma, and Hitler was too proud to go back and complete the high school he dropped out of.

That's the real reason. He was literally just mad that nobody would let a mathematically illiterate dropout start designing structures and he was too proud to go get the 1900s Austrian equivalent to a GED.

>>17787313
I like this, ya'll just haters
Hitler sister paint anything as nice, just some buildings. Soulless

>Hitler wasnt a good artist and couldnt do x, y and z.

LMAO. Nevermind, he brought his artistic vision to saving the world instead and will win in the end anyway, after all no one else has anything to offer.

>>17790286
Yeah it's totally people who dislike Hitler's art who are crying lol

I have this print hanging on my wall next to an original by Egon Schiele who was the artist accepted when Hitler was denied.

>>17787307 (OP)
Reminder that the school recommended Hitler to go trade school and learn to be an architect/industrial sketcher so as to make use of his landscaping skills
Hitler was just a immature fuck

>>17796046
>will win in the end anyway
Uh huh.

>>17796063
>>17796079

>hitler was immature because he didn't get into art school
>here are pics of Hitler's supposed teeth to prove that national socialism cannot win but liberal capitalism or communism can win

Kek

>>17796154
he got recommended to a trade school to become an architect/industrial painter, which fits the art talent he displayed. It's a solid career path if he worked hard but he just sulk over at not being able to go to an elite school and ran away to Germany

Imagine seething over some low grade postcard shitter didn't get in to art school

>>17787307 (OP)
Hitler spent a whole year between his failed entries doing nothing at all to prepare for the second attempt. People suddenly starting to repeat the idea Hitler got rejected due to cultural marxism instead of being lazy and undisciplined (he also failed his high school education prior to this) is perplexing to me

Looked after his dying mother.

The fucking lengths anons will go to in order to deny the truth that Hitler was a great man and visionary.

Give it up.

>>17796275
He was a delinquent at school.

>>17787774

>>17796594

Unable to study or find job for a whole year while he is wasting away the inheritance he got from his parents due to grief?

I will never understand your slavish and servile desire to make someone rich who rightfully couldn’t care less about your filthy kind.

>>17796275

Those words are mark of natural slave.

>>17792748
Hitler never bothered with architecture because he would have to study mathematics

Uh this photograph has bad perspective plz explain

Hitler could have been saved by sexy anime art.

Unironically this. I don't know what iron rule exists saying all these arbitrary lines on the structure MUST converge to a single point. Sure, if they're all supposed to be parallel lines on the structure viewed at an angle, but they're not.

>>17787307 (OP)
it's hilarious that a man became a meme for rejecting the most meme guy in the century from his academy, which probably caused the most meme event of the century.
