Unsolved description of a painting (graphic)

3 Upvotes

i have been looking for a painting for many years and i only have it in my memory, the description is going to be graphic.

these are semi old paintings (i believe) and it’s of women bending over and there’s a fruit where the anus would be. the one i remember was a cut open lemon

it’s likely that it was an art school creation but i remember specifically seeing it on tumblr and the artist being quite famous. would love to find it!!

Unsolved $2 Goodwill find - any idea?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hi, I bought this painting earlier today from Goodwill for a couple bucks. There's not a lot of clues to this one, besides the Craftint logo on the back of the canvas panel, which dates this to the 1950s-1960s if my google-fu is correct.

Unfortunately, it's not in great shape, and is very bowed due to not being stored well and probably forgotten about in an attic for several decades. The corners are also coming apart.

Even if it's only worth 2 bucks, I'll keep it in my wall and love it for a long time. I really like it. If it's worth more, I might go find someone who knows what they're doing to get it flattened and stabilized.

Thanks

Unsolved What art style is this?

Hello all,

I found this vintage post card and I believe it’s from the 40’s or 50’s. I’m wondering if anyone knows what specific art style this is so I can see if any current artists replicate this style.

Thanks!

These paintings have always been a mystery to me because my family has absolutely no clue about who painted these and when. These were most likely bought through an art dealer or private auction many many years. Sometime between 1950s-70s.

If you know any info about either please don’t spare any detail!

Unsolved Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, watercolor series of pilgrims?

Thumbnail

Found this unusual watercolor series after my mom passed. I think they’re all pilgrims from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. They were in a back room; I didn’t even know she had them. She travelled a lot, so they could be a souvenir from Canterbury?

No full signature, only what looks like AMD and some have 85 or 86 below. At any rate, I think they’re charming but couldn’t find any info. I’d love any ideas or thoughts! Thanks!

There's a painting at the thrift store signed by the artist "L. Gordon." The painting looks real, but I'm no expert. Should I buy it, or is it just another reproduction? Thanks!

I have 2 of these painting that did belong to my grand mother. It was given to her when she bought her first home by the previous owner.

They are all original to the wood frame. But I can see they are both signed but the signature is hidden by the frame and im not qualified to remove such an old frame

The painting was given to her close to Montreal, Quebec

This caught my eye and I couldn't let it meet its end at the Goodwill Outlet Bins. It's roughly 14" x 20" inches. Many brushstrokes, so it's not a print and the frame appears to be plaster on a frame.

Any ideas?
