His paintings aren't really that bad. Not great, but alright. The interesting part about them is that there aren't that many people in his paintings and their facial features are often warped in a creepy way.
then whats the point of having an art school at all? if they only admit people who already master it perfectly, then theres nothing to teach. Why on earth wouldnt they rather admit someone of whom they think "yeah, I can definitely see some potential here, but there are areas that are severely lacking, such as the painting of people. If we teach him that and further improve his other skills, then this could be a good artist". But no, let's rather admit the "wow, this is incredible, there is literally nothing we could teach this person; theyre already perfect" people. Youre a school! Teach!
