by the time hitler was trying to get into art school, the academia was fully on board with modernist shit. this was the heyday of cubism and surrealism and shit, and hitler painted very traditional landscapes and stuff. hitler also wasn't much of an artist but rather an artisan. what i mean is, while he could technically paint a landscape or something decently enough, he didn't really have any "message" or thought he was trying to convey. an art academies are all about avant-garde shit and pushing the envelope, so it really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that hitler wasn't accepted
