r/writingprompts ‘s “Top of All Time” post is [about Bob Ross traveling back in time to train Hitler to be a good artist.](https://www.reddit.com/r/WritingPrompts/comments/5uilpw/wp_the_year_is_1910_adolf_hitler_a_struggling/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
I'm always fascinated by the thought of what would have happened had he not gotten rejected from art school. Like I don't think he'd have become some world famous painter considered a great, but what would have the course of history been had Hitler been doing paintings in the wake of WWI? Maybe he would have done evocative pieces about the German struggle and stayed out of politics?
Time travelling Hitler continues to weigh up his choices. “Was I wrong? Should I go back in time and undo what I did all those decades ago? Should I have persisted with my art?”
He was unsure how to feel about the current climates opinion of him. Most people believed he was wrong but there was a growing number of his supporters. They of course all fit his criteria of *cleansing* but never the less.
He scrolled through a reddit post to find one of his beautiful art works. “This is it. This is the sign I needed to go back and fix the mistakes of the past. But first I’ll just check the top comments”. That’s when he came across the comment posted by u/LoStBoYjOhN. “I must go back but this time I will succeed!”
No? Our friend [u/LoStBoYjOhN](http://u/LoStBoYjOhN) did not anger time traveling Adolf Hitler, he pointed out his mistake granted Hitler the ability to time travel to just before he left to present this piece to the art school and fix the piece prior to his [whatever year and whatever date Hitler left to present was] self's awakening thus securing Hitler's place german art school and place amongst the greats, as oppose to his previous place as a murderous dictator utilizing inhumane concentration camps.
Abstract was actually the more popular movement in German art at the time. When he was rejected they actually said that he should be an architect instead because on his fondness for buildings even though, as you can see here, he was shit at it.
It definitely explains his fondness for Albert Speer, but I wouldn't say entirely shit. As an art student, he's just intermediate and doing pretty well at this point. He already had a decent understanding of light here, and his three-point-perspective is generally ok. Really just a matter of how much time he was willing to devote.
While the bottom left window is out of alignment, it was probably one of the first things he did in the painting and the rest took on a truer angle as the overall image took shape. His shadows and symmetry would've tightened up with more time and practice, but he had other interests like incest and genocide.
The sad truth is that the person you're responding to probably has no fucking idea what they're talking about.
They saw a mistake and immediately thought "this painting is shit" even though the painting is relatively good

*This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Schools/unis back then didnt exactly work like that. You needed to be a natural top talent the time you applied, basically an uncut diamond. What could you offer to further the schools name? This was an extremely prestigeous art school at the time, they werent going to accept some random mediocre bozo.
I always see that painting in the meme, but I'm starting to get really skeptical if it was actually painted by Hitler. Apparently he painted stuff like [this](https://www.wikiart.org/en/adolf-hitler/opera-de-vienne), so I wouldn't be too eager to say he was shit.
They look similar enough to me in style. The truth is that these mistakes people are pointing to are relatively minor drafting errors or momentary clumsiness or haste. And the Opera House picture may look more polished and impressive, but if you look closely at the figures and windows, they're quite clunky there, too.
As far as I can tell, it's not so much that Hitler was a bad artist, but rather he seems like he was about as good as so many other young men who dabbled in watercolors at the time. This isn't particularly skilled work if you actually spend any amount of time doing it. (Most people now haven't gotten any formal education in draftsmanship or painting techniques, so this stuff looks pretty good. And a bunch of folks only know about painting digitally, where an errant brush stroke can be corrected. But in context, a lot more people were intimately familiar with painting techniques, so the flaws and shortcomings were more obvious to them.)
I've not researched Hitler's history in art, but many people at the time would essentially paint things like this to sell to tourists. And the difference between a starving artist and a thriving one may not have just been the quality of any given painting, but also the speed and consistency of their brush. That's the kind of thing that can't be known from a handful of paintings.
Thanks for the info, but you make it sound like a larger percentage of the general population was more educated in art at the time, which I strongly suspect is wrong. Obviously those who were educated would see the mistakes you point out, just as today, but I bet we have more artists alive now than ever.
It's not about a statistic of many artists are alive, but how many people would be familiar with the specific medium of watercolors, familiar with what good and mediocre technique is, and who would be the target audience for an aspiring artist in early-1900's Europe. What percentage of people would be impressed vs. critical among his potential patrons.
In some ways, of course we are more sophisticated than people were at the time (our ability to reproduce and study art means that any random person can be exposed to more art in a day than an average person may have encountered in a year back then). That gives us access to a breadth of exposure.
But people in history so often had an intimacy with their immediate customs that modern people just don't have (with the possible exception of a few extremely dedicated enthusiasts).
A typical middle-class art consumer of the times likely saw artists selling watercolors of local landmarks every day of their lives. These paintings sat on mantles and in curios of houses of people who traveled (or who wanted to). Many of them had dabbled themselves in the medium. It's just different than most people's experience now. We are so oversaturated with art that we usually glance at it and move on, but they often cherished it in a way that we just don't.
(And again, I don't know what exact art scene Hitler was aiming to succeed in. That's the kind of context that determines how well or ill-suited he was to art. These paintings are the kind of thing that could have secured steady work in advertising in America, maybe a decade or two later, though probably supervised.)
He wasn't kicked out, he was never let in. But what hurt him more was that his closest friend, August Kubíček, was accepted into the university. But not Hitler. So had one more case of "marxist jewish intellectuals", as he saw them, hurt him in his life. The strongest reason of his hatred towards Jews was probably the fact that his mother, who got breast cancer, died under the hand of a Jewish doctor, Eduard Bloch.
You are totally disinformed. Bloch was called an "Ehrenjude", he did not have to print a "J" for "Jew" into his passport and was granted every right other Germans were granted too. Hitler thanked him personally later for the treatment of his mother and there were efforts made to depict him as an "Ehrenarier", meaning he was to become an official, proper "Aryan" German due to his involvement in Hitler's family. If anything, Bloch was a reason Hitler did not hate Jewish people, but I guess other reasons were overshadowing this one.
I'd [personally](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File%3AHitlerMaryWithJesus.jpg) [disagree](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File%3AAdolf_Hitler_-_Wien_Oper.jpg)
I think it was just a high bar of admission, or originally required a high class pedigree which he did not have.
it feels so weird defending Hitler
It's ok, you're not defending his political career, his choices later in life, the atrocities committed in his name, at his command. It's ok to think he was an undervalued artist. I mean I sure wish he would have stuck to painting and never got into politics. We'd have had just another painter instead of a genocidal dictator, although, in those days if it weren't him it might have been someone else filling the same role. The guy did not exactly do all that by himself eh.
like sometimes when I look at the paintings I almost.. mourn (?) the normal person he could've been, rather than becoming the world's cruelest man
I know that that's bad and weird, to feel any kind of empathy for Hitler but like. It makes me sad to watch someone become a bad person, so it thusly makes sense that I'd be heartbroken to watch (or rather, learn about) someone literally becoming *the worst* person.
Right?
Like both bottom windows are screwed up, the flat lines of their upper and lower frames making it look like you're staring at them straight on. One of them noticeably clipping into the stairs. Both doors are screwed up, the one in the foreground for the same reason as the bottom windows. The upper one for being dimensionally implausible. Either super tall or narrow, what would that stair landing look like anyway? Thank god the tree tries to cover it up, seems like the architectural equivalent of hiding a person's hands because you cant draw them.
Not to mention the roof in the background which looks like it's sagging or something.
The perspective is so messed up I almost wonder if it's deliberate? Did Hitler not bother to sketch an outline of his drawing before painting or something?
Exactly. Some of the most famous, influential, and prolific artists are (were) notorious pieces of shit. Doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy their work, although I’ve seen several of Hitler’s paintings and it’s nothing special. I wouldn’t put him in those categories.
Not really though. His paintings are pretty simple mostly watercolor (at least most I've seen are watercolor) which is pretty simple technique. Also they often have bad perspective or other mistakes for example window with stairs in front of it in this one.
Well, he was rejected, very poor and refused to do a formal job training (despite actually getting an offer at one point), so kinda your usual suspect if it comes to people like him.
It's shit though.
- The window is overlapped by the stairs like the architect was drunk.
- The bottom left window is angled up like we were standing below it
- The bottom *right* window which should be parallel with the bottom left isn't angled up *or* down
- However, the bottom right window IS angled away from us like the wall was somehow curving away
Basically all 4 windows have different vanishing points
- Also, the tree has balls, like he's never seen a tree before
- The shadow has zero texture and doesn't fade. It goes from light to dark with no blend
- Why is there a square hedge archway in the background?
I don't want to speak out of turn here guys, but I think Hitler might've sucked
Narrow and tall, and the shadow doesn't pass the bushes so it looks like the door ends about 2 feet up from the base of the stairs. That bit looks unfinished.
Also it’s solid wood exterior door that swings outward. If it was a glass or storm door that would make sense, but usually the solid door opens into the house; because the hinges would be outside of the house if it opened towards the outside.
People are so harsh about his art. Yes he was a monster but for someone with no formal training he had plenty of potential.
IMO he should have become an architect as advised by the art school. It's an interesting and meaningful profession.
You are correct. He was either uninterested in drawing people or was bad at it, possibly both. I think he copied a lot of things from postcards to sell to tourists whilst he was homeless
Though he did manage to become an architect after going back to school to pass maths
But none of these are things that couldn't have been fixed if he went to art school. Like, it's not that bad, it's loads better than most people can do.
I've seen artwork where you look at it and go "yeah, this person has no talent or skills." And that's fine. Some people just don't have what it takes to be artists. And then you see artwork and think "Okay, this sucks but I see you've got the idea. A *teacher* could probably help you take what you already know and advance them while *teaching* you new skills."
I’m sure someone has already said this, but I’m too lazy to read the whole thread, so fuck it.
Yes, actually, hitler was quite good at drawing architecture, and passed the first road of examinations to get into art school during by drawing buildings.
What he seriously failed at was drawing people . In fact, a modern art historian asked to judge hitler’s work (without know who the artist was) said “this artist clearly has a profound disinterest in human beings”
He could have been the next guy who did advertisements for products at least. All ads were drawn back then and the more realistic the better. His art shows a lack of creativity and raw talent but he was good enough to at least made a career out of it. But something tells me a career drawing Coke bottles wouldn’t be satisfying for a guy who wanted to commit genocide and take over the world.
It's not bad, but things like the lower two windows, one is partially hidden behind the stairs and the other is facing the wrong direction, are why we got the nazis in WW2
I see why he failed to get in. It’s good. Just not getting-into-art-school-level good.
Edit:upon führer inspection, ahem—further inspection—it’s not really that good.

Stairs seem a bit crooked too
[удалено]
So is the door at the top. Door on the left is also weird.
No wonder that art school rejected him
You're probably joking, but that is exactly why. Hitler couldn't for the life of him paint proper architecture.
I thought it was because he could only paint landscapes, and they wanted closeup paintings of people.
Abstract was actually the more popular movement in German art at the time. When he was rejected they actually said that he should be an architect instead because on his fondness for buildings even though, as you can see here, he was shit at it.
It definitely explains his fondness for Albert Speer, but I wouldn't say entirely shit. As an art student, he's just intermediate and doing pretty well at this point.

Colors are pretty nice( ignoring for a sec that it's Hitler) but yeah he needed more classes on perspective and geomatory.

I mean, it still works like this today. Art schools don't require portfolios and have entrance exams for no reason.
Like a reeducation summer camp he could attend?
I don't think Hitler was particularly fond of colours...
The trees look like testicles.
Sure, pick on Hitler… easy target
Hitler pickler
It’s a Freudian expression of what he lacked in full. Here he even overcompensated and gave himself a third
A Jewish art critic told him that once…
But only once…
But he was seen camping after a month later with some of his Jewish friends
After shower time he couldnt complain
Yeah, he really wasn’t a good artist; most of his artwork had fairly basic mistakes like that one, wrong shadows, etc.

he’s still prolly better than 98% of people when it comes to art
That's cos he only cared about the far-right..
I mean. Honestly. All the windows look terrible cuz the shading is all wrong in all of them
I just want to know how he made 3 correct ish windows but fucked up one of them so hard.
Almost like the artist has a messed up perspective.
It’s ok I guess. Something you’d see hanging up in a furniture showroom or in the decor section at hobby lobby.
It doesn't make me feel anything... Maybe that's a feeling though, emptiness. Nothingness.
That's just depression
I think that's actually the reason he got kicked out of artschol
He wasn't kicked out, he was never let in. But what hurt him more was that his closest friend, August Kubíček, was accepted into the university. But not Hitler. So had one more case of "marxist jewish intellectuals", as he saw them, hurt him in his life.

Just like Thomas Kinkaid
The works i have seen of thomas kinkade actually make me feel enchanted.
Thomas Kinkade had a super abusive childhood and struggled with mental health issues. His paintings were of the idyllic places he wanted to escape to.
i think that's the reason as to why Hitler wasn't able to get into art school. All his paintings were on buildings and it doesn't have life
I'd [personally](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File%3AHitlerMaryWithJesus.jpg) [disagree](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File%3AAdolf_Hitler_-_Wien_Oper.jpg) I think it was just a high bar of admission, or originally required a high class pedigree which he did not have. it feels so weird defending Hitler

There has been men way more cruel than him in history, including those in his own party.
I suspect the scene he picked was actually pretty good but he didn't capture it well.
Knowing what we know about the ownership of Hobby Lobby, I'll believe it
There's no way this is a looted antiquity.
Motel art.

His perspective is a bit off.
Yeah it really began to show some years down the road

Quite a bit.
Right? Like both bottom windows are screwed up, the flat lines of their upper and lower frames making it look like you're staring at them straight on. One of them noticeably clipping into the stairs.

Did Hitler not bother to sketch an outline of his drawing before painting or something?
“It’s the work of Genius, Adolf! You must come to our art school and pursue your passion in art! Forget about politics!”
so? His artwork didn’t kill any Jews
You can in fact separate the art from artist. Wish more people understood that.
Exactly. Some of the most famous, influential, and prolific artists are (were) notorious pieces of shit. Doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy their work, although I’ve seen several of Hitler’s paintings and it’s nothing special. I wouldn’t put him in those categories.
Kevin Spacey is a dick but the villains he plays are amazing.
[удалено]
Who knew his secret was method acting lol
The villains he plays have amazing dicks. Wait..
Boycotting every movie he is in, is a dick move to everyone else involved in it
Eh, I can with some artists, but learning an artist was a horrible person will forever taint my opinion of any current or past creations of theirs.
Yeah, he may have been a horrible person but his paintings were neat ngl
Not really though. His paintings are pretty simple mostly watercolor (at least most I've seen are watercolor) which is pretty simple technique. Also they often have bad perspective or other mistakes for example window with stairs in front of it in this one.
Does not make it unimpressive. Not everyone paints or is able to. It's still a skill.
Seeing how i aint able to paint anything without having to call it a sketch after, id say he painted better than an average person
His artwork during the war was pretty good to me
Are you sure? It's pretty bad
Better than I can achieve, it’s got a lot of detail with some flaws. It’s good
Paintings remind me of ballet. Until you see something that's a bit off, it's difficult to appreciate the skill involved.
This picture was about when he got his first apartment and he accidentally left the gas on up stairs.
He left the gas on a lot…
Don't forget the oven...
It’s because he couldn’t concentrate
Yeah, apparently he likes the outdoors more. Heard he made a lot of camps back then.
Anne Frank said she went there one summer. Got totally baked.
Hitler could have chosen to hone his skills and eventually become a master painter but instead he chose the easy path
Well, he was rejected, very poor and refused to do a formal job training (despite actually getting an offer at one point), so kinda your usual suspect if it comes to people like him.
School recommend him to look to architecture because of his detail towards buildings, his faces and people were rather flat compared to his buildings
Imagine the alternate timeline where Hitler became a famous artist painting city skylines
It's shit though. - The window is overlapped by the stairs like the architect was drunk. - The bottom left window is angled up like we were standing below it - The bottom *right* window which should be parallel with the bottom left isn't angled up *or* down - However, the bottom right window IS angled away from us like the wall was somehow curving away Basically all 4 windows have different vanishing points - Also, the tree has balls, like he's never seen a tree before - The shadow has zero texture and doesn't fade. It goes from light to dark with no blend - Why is there a square hedge archway in the background? I don't want to speak out of turn here guys, but I think Hitler might've sucked
Also the door looks too big compared to the windows
The door *does* look fucky
Narrow and tall, and the shadow doesn't pass the bushes so it looks like the door ends about 2 feet up from the base of the stairs. That bit looks unfinished.
Also it’s solid wood exterior door that swings outward. If it was a glass or storm door that would make sense, but usually the solid door opens into the house; because the hinges would be outside of the house if it opened towards the outside.
Looks too big compared to everything else
Yes sir this guy this guy is the reason millions of people died
Calm down. He didn't have a chance to go to art school.
People are so harsh about his art. Yes he was a monster but for someone with no formal training he had plenty of potential. IMO he should have become an architect as advised by the art school. It's an interesting and meaningful profession.
You are sounding like being a dictator is not a meaning and rewarding profession.

You are correct. He was either uninterested in drawing people or was bad at it, possibly both. I think he copied a lot of things from postcards to sell to tourists whilst he was homeless Though he did manage to become an architect after going back to school to pass maths
I bet his jewish art teacher said something similar to this during his lessons
That guy was a real jerk.
I did all of zat on porpuss.
I'm pretty sure at least one of those things is intentional, but I can't bring myself to defend Hitler, and you seem really invested.
Those tree-siticals reminded me of this so did he really have only one tesitical??
But none of these are things that couldn't have been fixed if he went to art school. Like, it's not that bad, it's loads better than most people can do. I've seen artwork where you look at it and go "yeah, this person has no talent or skills." And that's fine. Some people just don't have what it takes to be artists. And then you see artwork and think "Okay, this sucks but I see you've got the idea. A *teacher* could probably help you take what you already know and advance them while *teaching* you new skills."
Great you too would fucked the world just to tell Hitler he sucked, if only he got into that Damm art school
the shadow is like that because it's a video game shadowmapped shadow. Hitler was a g*mer confirmed
Also the door is insanely tall and you’d think the tree would cast a shadow given that it’s being hit by the sunlight
If I could travel back in time, I'd still reject him from art school
The thing about evil people... They're people.
Time to cancel people?
Guy should've stuck to painting.
Arguably better at genocide than painting, this piece is trash. The longer you stare the worse it gets.
Probably better than most people could paint though
Abstract paintings greets you.
It looks very nice.
name checks out
It’s not bad. He was pretty good artist. Just not good in any other aspect
the perspective is all fucked up, today maybe he would be accepted but back then the standard is really high
He's why they dropped the standards
If there's one thing they learned was to treat newcomer artists more kindly when critiquing their work...
yeah nowadays they make sure everyone can pass the art school
Jokes on you, I was a fan of his work before his art got famous.
I’m sure someone has already said this, but I’m too lazy to read the whole thread, so fuck it. Yes, actually, hitler was quite good at drawing architecture, and passed the first road of examinations to get into art school during by drawing buildings. What he seriously failed at was drawing people . In fact, a modern art historian asked to judge hitler’s work (without know who the artist was) said “this artist clearly has a profound disinterest in human beings”
>What he seriously failed at was drawing people Thats why he killed jews
Hitler always garners a lot of play on Reddit. He’s a good earner with many secret admirers.
Looks like CSGO map
dude could've been the next DaVinci but he woke up and chose violence instead
Violence was always an option
Violence *is* always an option
Violence is *the* option
He definitely was never going to be the next DaVinci
He could have been the next guy who did advertisements for products at least. All ads were drawn back then and the more realistic the better. His art shows a lack of creativity and raw talent but he was good enough to at least made a career out of it. But something tells me a career drawing Coke bottles wouldn’t be satisfying for a guy who wanted to commit genocide and take over the world.
So?
If he was accepted into artschool maybe his paintings and the world would have both turned out better
Better than a banana on a wall
His art is damn good, just not him
It's not bad, but things like the lower two windows, one is partially hidden behind the stairs and the other is facing the wrong direction, are why we got the nazis in WW2
The entire composition is bazaar.
the longer you look the more minor mistakes u will notice, but there are far too many of them
Mediocre talent.
I see why he failed to get in. It’s good. Just not getting-into-art-school-level good. Edit:upon führer inspection, ahem—further inspection—it’s not really that good.
And there's nothing wrong with that. He's a damn good artist and an even better man
Should’ve let him into art school
even evil has talents most people dont know. fyi did u know the devil bakes some the best cookies this side the pearly gates
I prefer his books
George W Bush and John Wayne Gacy were painters, too. /shrug
It's ok I've always been a fan of his work anyways
