Vienna, the 2nd of October 1907
In regards to: Your application, Number 54/1907
Dear Mr. Adolf Hitler,
We hereby inform you, that our decision to your inclusion in to the K.U.K. Academy of Fine Arts field painting has been given.
The Justification Commission: The sample painting presented by you (artwork title: Landscape With No Heads) impressed us by your unconventional style, but in your art you put contours where they are not necessary and select colors that are not appropriate. The utter randomness that your work expresses gives us cause to doubt that you are the right person to expand your horizons at our academy.
Signed:
The Chairman of the Committee
Professor Christian Griepenkerl
Did they also suggest he get his bad Emo haircut?
