was Hitler a painter and decorator before he became a politician?

Answer 1

He WANTED to be a painter

Early adulthood in Vienna and Munich

From 1905 onward, Hitler was able to live the life of a Bohemian on a fatherless child's pension and support from his mother. He was rejected twice by the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (1907 – 1908) due to "unfitness for painting", and was told his abilities lay rather in the field of architecture. His own memoirs reflect a fascination with the subject:

"The purpose of my trip was to study the picture gallery in the Court Museum, but I had eyes for scarcely anything but the Museum itself. From morning until late at night, I ran from one object of interest to another, but it was always the buildings which held my primary interest." (Mein Kampf, Chapter II, paragraph 3).

Following the school rector's recommendation, he too became convinced this was the path to pursue, yet he lacked the proper academic preparation for architecture school:

"In a few days I myself knew that I should some day become an architect. To be sure, it was an incredibly hard road; for the studies I had neglected out of spite at the Realschule were sorely needed. One could not attend the Academy's architectural school without having attended the building school at the Technic, and the latter required a high-school degree. I had none of all this. The fulfillment of my artistic dream seemed physically impossible.''"(Mein Kampf, Chapter II, paragraph 5 & 6).

Answer 2

He was a painter. The link below shows some of his paintings. Not bad really (well, better than I could do). If he had been accepted to art school, World War II may have been avoided.

Answer 3

Munich is really a huge city with: restaurant, nightlife and accommodation results, with hotelbye , you'll have a look. Munich is the capital city of Bavaria and the third-most populous town in Germany. For generations the seat of the Dukes, Electors, and Leaders of Bavaria, the Munich Residenz is without question certainly one of Europe's most spectacular palaces. Presented around eight large courts, the vast resident complex comprises three main parts: the Königsbau, fronting in to Max-Joseph-Platz; the Alte Residenz, facing Residenzstrasse; and the Festsaalbau (Banqueting Hall) overlooking the Hofgarten. The very first section of the large complex to be developed was the spectacular Antiquarium, built-in 1579 and now the main exemplary Residenz Museum. Munich is really a town with lots of history, make sure you examine it whole.

Answer 6

I don't know about a decorator but he did try his hand at painting. Apparently he also was a terrible artist. He was denied entry into all the art schools he applied at, but the one he took the most offense at was a Jewish school of art. The beginning of his anti-semitism perhaps. He also was a bum at one point in his life. He wasn't even allowed into the shelters, because he stunk so bad.

Answer 7

He was a painter and aspiring artist. He was called a 'housepainter' as an insult as part of the allied propaganda effort. I saw a cartoon of him as a wallpaper hanger using a Prussian goose step and Nazi salute to hold the paper.

Answer 8

No he worked for the customer service department of the google call center in Berlin. After telling a customer having gmail issues he was let go and the rest is history.

Answer 9

I don't know about decorator, but he was an artist, and he did go to school for it. That's one of the reasons why he hated Jews so much was because in art school, some of his teachers were Jews and they didn't like his work.

Answer 10

I believe i saw in a documentary that he was a painter. But some teachers he had didn`t like is style, because it was too dark, (like the main colours he used), shadows, ... I think he didn`t like to draw portraits. He drawed buildings, ...and the people who appeared in there looked like shadows.
