His art was never trash. By comparison to the vast majority of people it was very good, just not elite level for classical painting. But he was at that level with regard to architectural design, and is the direction he was pushed towards.

One common narrative is that this is one reason he tried murder the world, or some stupid shit like that.

Personally, I think it fed into his intuitions about how to best help everyone succeed to the best of their abilities

We live in an age where you can't tell people they suck l'est you hurt their feelings. But people need to be told the truth in order to grow.

You can be good at something, really good. But at the same time not good enough.

And that's fine. That's normal.

We all need more learned and wiser people to guide us in the directions that make the best use of our god given abilities, even if they are counter to our dreams. Because on the whole its better, and it is also personally better.

You need to know your lane.

Bro youre just making shit up. Literally just read his book, he tells you exactly what happened and how it was a major eye opening event for him. His high effort art was deemed not even good enough to teach, yet he saw the art of the graduates of that very same institute that rejected him, and it was all disgusting formless jewish "modern art" crap. It was a tangible aspect of the pervasive influence and power of the jewish elite in Germany that he could point to and that personally impacted him.

I didn't make anything up.

Here's from the Dalton translation of his book:

2.1 SKILL AS AN ARCHITECT

And now here I was, for the second time in this beautiful city, impatiently waiting to hear the result of the entrance exam but confident of success. I was so convinced that, when the news came that I had failed, it struck me like a bolt from the blue. Yet that's what happened. I went to see the Rector and asked him why they refused to accept me as a student in the general School of Painting, which was part of the Academy. He said that my sketches unquestionably showed that ***painting was not what I was suited for, but rather that they gave clear indications of my aptitude for architectural design.***

Therefore the place for me was the School of Architecture, which also formed part of the Academy. At first it was impossible to understand this, seeing that I had never been to an architectural school and had never received any instruction in architectural design.

I was quite dejected when I left Hansen Palace, on Schillerplatz. I felt at odds with myself for the first time in my young life. Those words came like a lightning flash, one that revealed a longstanding conflict within myself. But until this point, I couldn't give a clear account of it.
Within a few days, ***I myself also realized that I would become an architect.***
