Yes, Hitler not only wanted to be an artist, but in fact painted and sketched a number of pictures. I have seen these pictures both on the inter-net, but also in a book that I have.
I think they looked OK, though more like a photograph, with no imagination used as a true artist would do. They were mostly of buildings, and every brick was shown.
This was because he mainly based his art off of the more popular pictures of both the Austrian landscape, as well as the Austrian capital's (Vienna) cityscape. He did not want to base his paintings and sketches off of his thoughts at first, because he thought it would make people think him a fool for an overreactive imagination, but later on, he did not want to base most of his paintings / sketches off of his imagination, because he did not want to lose his chance for acceptance into the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts (which he still did not make it in to, if he had, the world might never have had a World War II [2]), as he was in line for an audition into the Academy. After he got rejected, he lost his view on art, and set his sights for German Politics.

∙ 14y agoHitler was moderately talented. What he failed at was gaining admission to the Academy of Fine Art in Vienna. Then, as now, its hard to make a living as an artist. Admission to the Academy and the training he would have received there would have been his ticket to a successful career as an artist. The examiners of the Academy felt he did not have sufficient potential. Hitler blamed his rejection on - who else? - the Jews.
