News - Hitler Finds Art Fame in Cornwall - UK

According to The Sunday Telegraph and Bloomberg’s Martin Gayford , if you were to stop off at Jeffery’s in Cornwall this March, you could pick up a bona fide Adolf Hitler painting. The works have been described as ‘cliched’ and ‘feeble’ (well, really, what did you expect…) and, by the sounds of things, should have stayed hidden in the Beligain attic where they were first discovered. However, the 21 watercolours are expected rope in some £100,000 – though whether or not the buyer will hang them, is altogether another matter. Last November, Jeffery’s sold a Hitler work for £5,200 from the same unnamed Belgian owner. Cornwall, Hitler and £100 grand. Go figure…
