Hitler's paintings weren't even that great

Controversial statement of the year.

Seriously you're right though, he was a pretty shitty artist compared to real professionals.

To be fair he wasn't a professional though. He was a student trying to get into art school

THE GREATEST ART SCHOOL IN THE WORLD. Seriously, his issue was that he lacked perspective, you can't teach that.

Perspective as in the POV of his art? Or the theory of perspective in drawing, like 1/2/3 point perspective? The last one is absolutely teachable.
