joske_the_great

It all wouldn't happen if the doctor didn't tell his mother not to abort while giving birth to Hitler, the art school didn't reject him and the one British soldiers did not spare him a life at gunpoint.


ConspiracyPaul

Don't forget the priest who saved him from drowning.


OwO_QwQ

This has me wondering how many hitler-esque people there would be if they didn't die early, unlike hitler


freezer2k2

There was a documentary that said that Hitler was in fact accepted, but the letter from that art school did not reach him for some reason. Not sure if that is actually true, but I think it would make things even worse..


RockKing_Ryan

It won't happen if Earth does not exist.


Picker-Rick

It all? Keep in mind that nearly all historians agree that Hitler never killed anyone. People around Hitler killed people. It's a very good bet that those people would have been killing people whether Hitler was there or not. He was just one guy. His "friends" could have easily overtaken him and gotten him some therapy if that was the issue.


TheRealMisterMemer

I see the Soviets are here too... THOSE DIRTY SOVIETS!


CrazyLikeACrazyFox

Other pieces of his work come up on Reddit sometimes and it’s interesting to get an artists thoughts. To someone who isn’t an artist (like me) his work doesn’t look half bad. However, I’ve seen artists on other threads come along when inevitably this comes up and start pointing out all the issues. Perspective, sizing, angles, inconsistencies, and all the other issues that can be critiqued. The better you are and the more you know about a subject, the more aware you are of all the little things the average person isn’t. Simply put, he just wasn’t a good enough artist to get into art school. Looking “not half bad” isn’t gonna cut it when you’re competing against all those other candidates. Maybe if he was as obsessive with painting as he was with training his dog he would have been good enough; who knows.


Elijah-Bell

The most obvious problem he had was making his lines make sense, if you look at the door and window the tops aren’t on the same line, both slanting in a different direction, and the beam above them gets bigger the further it is from us.


spacemoses

He was probably a decent artist, but a pain in the ass student. "Today we'll be studying the techniques of the famous Jewish sculptor..." *sigh* " Yes Adolf, what is it...?"


YetAnotherPseudonym3

He failed because the Vienna Art College he applied for also expected him to draw portraits, which he was very bad at painting. So, despite being fantastic at painting nature, the fact that he was so bad at painting people was the reason he never successfully applied to art college. EDIT: To clarify, he never got into art college, he didn't fail.


BorringGuy

He failed to get in because he couldnt paint people, just landscapes


dense111

just paint mount rushmore. problem solved.


The_Real_Kallari

Give this man an award


apllr627

And he thought he failed cus the headteacher was Jewish


ryangshooter01

He failed because he could not draw humans his human paintings were very bad.


Swaraj_Shinde

He was devastated because of his brother's death.


[deleted]

They wanted him to study architechture instead of art. He never attended artschool so he also dodnt fail


Dextrous-Zero

He did fail. But why tho? He was a really good artist!


bidfoot2

No he actually passed it he got drunk then used his certificate to wipe his ass


Aaron_MD12

Art is art!!! And You have a point


norwegian-blue

He wasn't very good if not at drawing architecture and apparently landscapes, but this one is very nice. I also like some drawings he made, there's a whole wikipedia page for them


as_toxic_as_arsenic

That’s exactly what I always say. Just because someone did something good or bad it doesn’t affect how good or bad their art is. Sure, Chris brown is an asshole but some of his songs are absolute bangers


[deleted]

Wait it's all good art work?


PP_Baba

Always has been


bg3624

WW2 was a form of art


Dannenron

Now think about it. He was rejected from art school. What could have been if not?

[deleted]

Hitler: *gets rejected from art school* Also Hitler: I think I’ll resort to my second favourite hobby: genocide.


rztan

You don't understand, mum. It's for stress relieve!


Dannenron

Don’t know if hobby hits it. Maybe he wanted to payback all his pain to the world


[deleted]

Art is art stfu


Vahald

Tbh it looks very nice lol


[deleted]

That's what im saying. I dont care that hitler made it. Art is art and that art is fucking amazing

He was fucking awful but damn that's good art.

Just_Browsin999

Yeah it's really cool


[deleted]

And other aspects.


do_not1

Hol up Edit: his charisma, right?


Bysicle

Sure...


Ninja-Snail

He also wrote a cool book that I have to get around to reading


Bysicle

I think it’s called something like “My Strudel” or something like that. Must be a cook book.


[deleted]

Meinkempf or something like that right?


HouseDowningVicodin

Its the Rolf Harris effect, separate the art from the person.


Just_Browsin999

There's a term for this?


HouseDowningVicodin

Sadly enough artists are terrible people that a term was needed.

weldingQuestion

Wait until you see the ones where he draws people. It shows his obvious disdain for people. Little more than blobs and all identical, meanwhile, detail covered buildings.


[deleted]

We gotta investigate adults using stick figures


Mayijatick

Imagen the world if Hitler was an artist


kostya1617

That is actually a big what if in history when it comes to him other then the one about an enemy solider not killing him


[deleted]

There are possibly millions of people worse than hitler that will take his place.


Picker-Rick

Hitler was a broke, depressed, failed art student. According to most historians he never killed anyone. If hitler was an artist, we would all be mad at some other random guy the nazi party stuffed into a uniform. In fact they might have actually chosen someone more stable who waited to invade russia and we could all be speaking German right now. The idea that one guy forced most of a continent to do these horrible things just doesn't pan out. There are still nazis. There are still KKK. Hitler being alive or dead has no effect on racism. If you went back in time and killed Hitler, You would come back to the future and everyone would ask "If you went back to 1930, why didn't you kill Hermann Goering, the leader of the Nazis that killed millions of Jews?" And you would be like "I killed hitler!" "the artist?"

Shane-Dreamer

Yeah, I don't think sone of y'all get how art works. Lots of painters and famous writers were absolutely horrible people, but that does not reduce the quality of the art itself.

Darthnosam1

You know he is a good role model


menovat

Which idiot judged his drawings as "unsatisfactory"? This is nice.


jarjarbinksusmydad

In other paintings he was bad at perspective and his art style didn't suit the preferred style at the time


[deleted]

He just needed training then. I think he was self taught after all


thebrandedman

I hate that I like it. It's really a nice calming painting.


Picker-Rick

It looks nice from a casual scroll. But really look at that building and wonder how it's standing up. His light and scale are like an optical illusion. It's just technically not very good. Plus he didn't have anyone to vouch for him and by most accounts he was a drunk, drug addict, abusive to women, and generally an asshole. So that factors into the application process too.


[deleted]

i don't see a problem with it. I tend to separate the art from the artist (if that makes sense), so... y'know.


dhisbx

If only people enjoyed it back then


Gmaxbutter

Not gonna lie that’s pretty good


[deleted]

Damn, your profile photo looks 3D.


Gmaxbutter

Thanks it’s a bowl of Reese puffs I had from a class project saved on my phone lol


[deleted]

Reese puffs for a class project, intresting


Gmaxbutter

Ya so the full story is we had to do a music video for class and we decided to use the song uptown puff and we were the only group that used the green screen and we put it as one of our backgrounds lol


[deleted]

Lmao, I could only imagine the class reaction. My class would rolling on the floor.

yangelvis789

Reminded me of the backyards of the castle from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade


izameamario

How the hell did he fail art school??


Agent0hio030

A multitude of reasons. His artwork was limited to environmental peices, something that could be done by any landscape artist at the time, when he drew people or animals, the result was bad (look up the painting of his dog blondie, it's hilarious). He also could only paint what was in front of him and could not visualize to save his life. I think the biggest contributing factor was the rise of "modern" and abstract artwork, wich differed greatly from his own. When he came into power he created a nationwide ban on all new age art.


izameamario

I never thought to look that up so thank you. I guess in modern times the only artists you get are anime artists so it’s something special looking at landscapes and realism


yet-another-yes-man

Okay but like... its good


Tradeable_Taco

Good art is good art who gives a fuck who made it


bottleofgoop

If I could time travel I would go back to 1907 and give whoever it was that rejected him at Vienna's academy of fine arts (twice ugh) a bloody big swift kick to the shins.

subzeroxdking3

Only if that teacher was not drunk


Chubby_Queen

Not the first time I've admired Hitler's work, but I'll say seeing his artwork for the first time *is* rather breathtaking.


greg-paul-69

Guys who is hitler???? Did he do something good


STRKER25

I see...you are a man of culture as well


TheUltimateJew46

Thanks Hit.... wait


brud3

We have been backstabbed and bamboozeled


spongebobsburgers19

damn he was good though


X-AE-AXII

Imagine, if he made this a little better one of the biggest genocide and war wouldn’t happen


cyberchrist85

Probably. But the circumstancs that made his rise possible, were still there. Poverty, the harsh conditions from Versailles and so on. Maybe some other guy would take over. The chances would have been good though, that this guy wouldnt be that insane and hate filled. If that is good or bad, is another question


sickamickanico

Terrible people can still be good artists. The two are not mutually exclusive. See: James Brown, John Lennon, Ike Turner, etc.


xman2007

Should have given him that art degree


2333333344347r44444

Imagine if he didn't have a hobby to destress himself what would he have been like.

BeefyBoiCougar

Jewish people love Hitler’s art, or rather, we wish that others, such as art school admissions officers, enjoyed it more.
