What, from the Wien Academy of Fine Arts? I've seen my fair share– even now it remains as one of the most prestigious Fine Arts schools in the world– even for those with an naturalistic inclination. But if mere naturalistic mimesis would make one a great artist, then we'd have an abundance of very young artistic geniuses because they had a few years of training.

He didn't do bad. But he wasn't good enough to come close to the ultra-competitive environment that Vienna Academy of Fine Art was. He had a good understanding of painting based on photographs of buildings, but struggled with painting urban environments and people– even from photographs, which is rather antithetical to creating an artistic aura of a painting.

Don't want to give you a blabbering rundown– but this small quora (lol, I know) discussion has a bit of what I'd point out at first glance https://www.quora.com/Was-Hitler-really-a-bad-artist-As-someone-with-no-clue-about-painting-I-find-his-drawings-very-appreciative

Yeah, that one is intellectually dishonest as hell probably made by some Hitlerian larper that doesn't know shit about art or art history, or at least didn't bother beyond googling modern artists and picking ones that are uninteresting to look at through a filtered meme format

https://www.moma.org/learn/moma_learning/themes/what-is-modern-art/ is a good beginning to start, if you want to learn. Modern art didn't come from an incompetence of mimicking a naturalist depiction, it came from the extreme psychological shifts in our lives in the beginning of industrialization, that attempted doing something more than what photography could do– in fact, photography kind of liberated painting from a ''likeness'' complex that had defined the artistic imperative before. To add, most of modern artists people love to hate probably had mastered the naturalistic art style– which at that point was overripe, not to say that good naturalistic painting wasn't able to synthesize mimesis and symbolism together– see Renaissance painting, for one.
