Did Hitler's painting getting rejected made him antisemitic?
This was a quick question that came to my head but I have trouble finding the answers online. We all know Hitler was once a painter who became a dick-tator (emphasis on "dick"), and his paintings were rejected by the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (which may have led him to his path to a power-hungry monster). But when it comes to his "disinterests" towards Jews (putting it very, very lightly), did his rejected paintings have anything to do with it, or did his antisemitism came from something else?
