Hi Capitoli,

 

I'm unfortunately not an expert on this, but saw an article many years ago about Adolf Hitler.

 

He wanted to be a painter and wasn't excepted at the Art School.

 

Here is some of his paitings and I think it was not too bad.

 

Regards

Archie

 

Adolf Hitler, dictator of Nazi Germany from 1933 until his suicide in 1945, was also a painter.[1] He produced hundreds of works when he tried to sell his paintings and postcards to earn a living during his Vienna years (1908–1913) but had little commercial success. A number of his paintings were recovered after the Second World War and have been sold at auctions for tens of thousands of dollars. Others were seized by the United States Army and are still in U.S. government possession.

His test drawings were judged unsatisfactory and he was not admitted. Hitler was badly shaken by this rejection. He went back to the academy to get an explanation and was told his drawings showed a lack of talent for artistic painting, notably a lack of appreciation of the human form.
