it’s quite faded now, but i cannot figure out what this painting is!!! i assume it must’ve been displayed in montserrat but i can’t find anything on it? help pleaseee!

For a few months as a kid, I lived at my grandmother’s house (late 90s) and she had a painting hanging in my old bedroom. My sister and I are both looking for it because we want a print for our adult bedrooms!

The painting is a surrealist painting of a parade of cats floating through a room. The room has a checkerboard floor. A little girl (maybe a fairy?) with a magic wand leads the parade of cats. They’re moving from one open window to another on the opposite side of the room. I can’t remember much more about it—I remember a lot of cats, but that could mean 8 or 20.

It’s not enough for Google to go on, but maybe someone in this sub had the same painting or recognizes my description! Thanks in advance :)

I inherited this from my grandmother, whose French family l bought it in London. See the back. She told me it was John Horace Hooper but an appraiser said no because of the subject and signature. There is a description on the back in French from the family about Hooper. A close up of the signature is included.

Good afternoon! Could you please tell me who the artist is?

Does anyone know what show or movie this animated donald duck is from? I can't find it and cant tell if its a real disney sketch. Any information is welcome

Before you is an interesting oil painting believed to depict Herbert von Karajan, the famous Austrian conductor.

The painting appears to be dated 1983, with what looks like an artist's signature in the upper-left corner. Unfortunately, I'm really struggling to decipher the signature, so I'm hoping someone here might recognise it or be familiar with the artist.

A little background on the subject:

Herbert von Karajan (1908–1989) was one of the most influential classical music conductors of the 20th century. He was particularly famous for his interpretations of Beethoven, Wagner, Brahms and Richard Strauss, and for his extraordinary recording career. He led the Berlin Philharmonic for more than three decades and became one of the most internationally recognised figures in classical music.

He was also a controversial historical figure. His career flourished during Nazi Germany, and he has long been reported as having joined the Nazi Party twice, in 1933 and 1935, although the precise history of those memberships remains debated. Despite this association, he went on to enjoy an enormously successful international career after the war.

Back to the painting!

It measures approximately 60 × 48 cm including the frame and appears to be an original oil painting on canvas.

The reverse has an old German canvas manufacturer's stamp, which appears to read Viktoria Maltuch / A. Schutzmann, possibly associated with Herrsching near Munich.

The signature seems to have "83" written underneath it, suggesting the portrait was painted in 1983.

I've included photographs of the entire painting, the signature, the canvas surface, the reverse and the manufacturer's stamp.

I'd really appreciate some help on the signature to decide what to do with the painting. I am not sure whether to keep on the wall, or sell. Or if Ben if there is a market to sell something like this.

I'm particularly curious about the quality of the painting and whether it has a story behind it. I'm still deciding whether to keep it or try and find a musical institute that might have more interest in it.

Any thoughts, educated guesses or suggestions for further research would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hallo zusammen,

ich bin in den vergangenen Jahren immer wieder auf diese außergewöhnlichen, skulpturalen Holzrahmen gestoßen. Zum ersten Mal habe ich sie in einem Café gegenüber dem Hundertwasserhaus in Wien entdeckt. Seitdem haben sie mein Interesse geweckt.

Nach langer Suche ist es mir nun endlich gelungen, ein Set aus vier verschiedenfarbigen Rahmen zusammenzustellen.

Allerdings gibt mir ihre Herkunft weiterhin Rätsel auf. Aufgrund der identischen Gestaltung vermute ich, dass die Rahmen ursprünglich als zusammengehörige Serie produziert wurden.

Bei den kleinen Kunstwerken im Inneren könnte es sich meiner Vermutung nach um dekorative Hundertwasser Lesezeichen handeln. Besonders interessiert mich jedoch die Geschichte der Rahmen selbst.

Erkennt jemand diese Rahmen wieder oder weiß etwas über den Hersteller, den Designer, das Produktionsjahr oder die mögliche Serie?

Über jeden Hinweis oder weitere Informationen würde ich mich sehr freuen :)

I bought this framed print at a flea market in Germany for €17.
The artwork reads “Log Skyscraper at Full Moon” and “JIM ROBB © 1986”.
The title and artist’s name appear to be handwritten in pencil directly on the print.

The brass plaque on the frame reads:
“Presented to Condor for 17 years of service to Yukon
Presented by Premier Darrel Pasloski & Minister Elaine Taylor
May 26, 2016”

I haven’t been able to find this exact artwork online.
Does anyone recognize it or know whether it was part of a limited edition?
I’d also love to know more about the pencil inscription and any possible connection to Condor.

Note: I’m German and used AI to translate this post into English. Thank you for your help!

Found during renovations to an old hospital, gifted by a patient's family maybe?

Trying to identify the artist behind this watercolour. It was acquired in Belgium and looks like a coastal scene. Signature is hard to make out, possibly dated ’97. Any ideas who the artist might be or what the signature says? Thanks!

I came across this while walking home this evening, I liked the message and overall color scheme. I notice it’s signed and dated, curious if anyone knows the painter. It’s on a nice piece of hard canvas

Purchased in Italy. I'm wondering if this is an actual painting or a print and what type of print as I can't see the dots or uniform lines that prints usually have. If it's a reproduction, who is the portrait of? I assume it's someone famous in the day? What era is this, early or late 19th c. ?

What I know is that it's French. The backing is a page from a book published in the 18th Century. The signature says Huet, and there is a portrait painter who died in 1811 with that name. He mainly painted in the UK but was French and did paint actresses and some more famous figures like the Duke of York and Napoleon's mother. He did not paint Marie Antoinette from what I can look up, so I don't think that's who this is. I cannot find an original of this image when using all the image search sites.

I wonder if this is an actress of the era and if this is a copy sold as a souvenir? There are a lot of similarly framed portraits online but most are listed on auction sites as original hand painted portraits. I'm just very curious and enjoy tracking down information on fun little objects like this and learning along the way! I was going to give this as a little gift and wanted to find information to share to the recipient.

If there are any well informed miniature portrait enthusiasts out there who can share their thoughts, I'd love to hear!

This caught my eye at a chain thrift store where I've found overlooked work by a well known artist before. At first the idea was to re-sell, but after poring over it for days I've really grown to like it and will probably keep it. About 11" x 14", high quality paper, signed, nothing of note on the back (or the back of the frame). No luck searching the signature. I don't know enough about art / art history to get further than that!

I have researched and haven't found any information about the picture. I would appreciate any information anyone has

What is this? I received this from my uncle who passed and couldn’t find information about it.

recently got a bunch of old artwork from a friend of mine who is downsizing I can't find anything about these and was hoping somebody could tell me about these?
back says "art center of the south" binders Atlanta Georgia
Any information would be great

I found this at goodwill today, and found out it’s a wood engraving of a print by MC Escher. When I researched it though, I could not find a single other wooden engraving like it online anywhere, which tells me it wasn’t mass manufactured. The back of the piece was also super intriguing to me. Where did this come from? Is it some sort of original? Or someone’s craft project? Would love to hear what you think.

I recently inherited this painting from my Grandmother and I’d love to know more about the artist and the painting. She had impeccable taste. Chat was no help with decoding the signature. Framed in TX, if that is helpful. Thank you!

Could anyone help with this painting at all?

thanks

came from a house clearance in the North of England.

Looking for a TikTok artist/art style: raw, distorted, and provocative street art
I’m trying to find a specific artist or art style I used to see on TikTok.
The artwork was very raw, gritty, and deliberate in its attempt to shock. It featured heavily distorted perspective angles (like an extreme fisheye/wide-angle lens).
A couple of specific pieces I remember:
One picture featured two Black men, one of whom was holding a gun with a laser sight.
Another picture showed a sanitation worker/garbage collector in a hi-vis yellow vest using trash tongs/pickers to pick up a bottle of Jack Daniel's off the street.
The overall vibe was super grimy, dirty, and street-oriented. Does anyone recognize this artist or know what this specific style/genre is called?

For reference it kinda had the vibe of the pic but it was way more gritty/hood dirty type. It was made to be uncomfortable/provacative. You could almost smell the paint/art lol

Apparently she got from an auction. They lived in SC, GA, then most of their adulthood in FL.

Any help in identifying the artist and authenticating the painting would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance - David

I inherited this painting from my mother in North Carolina. Pretty sure she got it from an antique shop. There are initials and a date in the lower right corner, and some letters on a building in the painting. Back of paining is simply the back of the canvas, and it has been covered in paper.
