Talk:Winston Churchill as painter

Material?

 * - this might be worked in somewhere, although comparing anything with Hitler is always a mistake. However, Sewell’s “load of bloody rubbish” quote is rather nice. KJP1 (talk) 15:52, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Breccles Hall was bought by Edwin Montagu in 1917, which explains what WSC was doing there, . KJP1 (talk) 16:07, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Money!!!
While appreciating the vulgarity of talking about money, do others think we should have a little on prices? The astronomical rise in the value of Churchill’s pictures is a feature of his work as a painter. Cannadine throws up the interesting snippet that Beaverbrook offered £150,000 for all of them in 1959. That would have been a spectacularly good deal, even by Max’s standards.
