Why Adolf Hitler failed to become an artist? #history #facts #art

Did you know, that Adolf Hitler wanted to become a professional artist when he was young? In his 1925 autobiography Mein Kampf, Hitler described how his dreams were ruined because he failed the entrance exam of the Vienna's Academy of Fine Arts. He was suggested to apply to the academy's School of Architecture, however, he was not willing to do so. During his life in Vienna in 1908–1913, he produced hundreds of works when he tried to sell his paintings to earn a living, but had little commercial success. A number of his paintings were recovered after the Second World War and have been sold at auction for tens of thousands of dollars. Others were seized by the United States Army and are still in U.S. government possession.
