Art by Hitler for Cornish Auction - September 26
Published September 19th, 2006
Twenty-one watercolors and sketches attributed to Adolf Hitler are to be sold by a British auction house September 26, officials said Friday.
An auctioneer at Jefferys Auctioneers at Lostwithiel in Cornwall, southwest England, Ian Morris, said the pictures were made when Hitler was a soldier serving in Flanders during World War I.
The pictures, mostly pallid landscapes, are not regarded as adept, but the auctioneers have said some could sell for up to $8,000 each.
“They were painted in his formative years before he became political,” Mr. Morris told British Broadcasting Corp. television, “so you could look at the pictures and see the psychology inside the man’s head, rather than what he became.”
