Hitler's art paintings up for auction
Prints by Adolf Hitler on sale
There will be an auction for Adolf Hitler's watercolor paintings in Britain. The article states that they expect to recieve up to $200,000 for the collection found in a basement in Belguim. I have seen some of his work before and it was okay. It was his early work so there was not much to say about it. There are those in the history world that believe if young Adolf had not been so harshly critisized in Veinna over art just maybe just maybe. There was also the movie put out several years ago that touched upon this subject of Adolf as an artist Max. Well I am interested to see what the auction brings in Hitler's paintings
This reminds me of a line out of The Producers:-
Franz Liebkind: Hitler... there was a painter! He could paint an entire apartment in ONE afternoon! TWO coats!

I guess its not "new" news really but this bit caught my eye:
To bad he was rejected. Perhaps history would be very different if he had gone psycho on the paint brushes instead of the people.

Watercolors attributed to Adolf Hitler, painted when he was serving in the German army during World War One and then hidden away for more than 60 years, will be auctioned in southwest England on Tuesday.
The 21 paintings and sketches, the largest sale of Hitler's artwork for many years, has attracted huge interest and collectors from Russia, the United States and South Africa are expected to bid in the quiet Cornish town of Lostwithiel. [...]Questions have been raised about the provenance of the paintings and whether it is appropriate to auction the works of the mastermind of the Holocaust.

The Nazi leader showed artistic talent when he was a boy in Austria and wanted to be an artist. He was turned down twice by Vienna's Academy of Fine Arts but continued painting until the outbreak of war in 1914, and after he returned to civilian life.
To bad he was rejected. Perhaps history would be very different if he had gone psycho on the paint brushes instead of the people.

who gets the proceeds of the sale?
I imagine its the "elderly woman in Belgium" referenced in the article, with a healthy fee to the auction house.

Watercolors and sketches attributed to Adolf Hitler sold briskly Tuesday at an auction which was briefly interrupted by a pair of self-styled "comedy terrorists."
Aaron Barschak, who gained notoriety by dressing up as Osama bin Laden and crashing Prince William's 21st birthday party in 2003, and Peter Cunningham jumped up and started shouting after the first 13 items had been sold at Jefferys Auctioneers.
Cunnigham, wearing a painted Hitler mustache and slicked down hair, shouted "Third Reich" And "Mussolini" before being escorted out by security guards. Barschak then
started shouting and was also ejected.
Prices for the first 13 items were stronger than predicted, ranging from USD 6,100 to USD 18,000.
