I don't know if you were ironic or not, but I hardly think we could blame the school for not accepting him until we've seen what his competitors produced.

The subject line reminds of the shop window sign - "Genuine antiques made to order"

There is a pretty decent book on Hitler art: Adolf Hitler, the unknown artist.
Hitler while staying in the Vienna hostel was reportedly asked by one of his fellow travellers what did he do for a living? Hitler replied that he was a "painter". The fellow replied that there was good money in house decoration - to which Hitler replied with an insulted look - I'm a fine artist, like portraits and landscapes! (this is probably the origins of the housepainting jokes) A man then suggested that he know how to bake a painting and make it look old, but Hitler would have none of it.
Later on at least one occasion: Hitler was in power a sycophant appeared with one of his old paintings and announced how much they paid for it. They soon learned that was a mistake. Hitler once flew into a rage saying: "I was paid almost nothing for it, thats an outrage"
Hitler was facing nearly insuremountable outs trying to get into Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. Hitler didn't even have a what we would cal a highschool diploma. had he been accepted and graduated it would have meant that everything Hitler did would have been instantly accepted in the Vienna art world - just as so much modern art junk is praised today.
Hitlers rejection was probably more do to his lack of education, references and social class than anything else.
