I have some new paintings

Hey,



may you know any of these authors? I tried to google those authors but couldn’t find anything,



any ideas?



thanks!

 

This appears to be a amateur work and, as such, would be difficult to identify E. Mohr.

In the future, would you be kind enough to photograph paintings from straight on, not at an angle? We also like in focus close-up photographs of signatures as well as photographs of the back including frame.

The other two are genre paintings and may have been produced for decorative purposes.

The man by the fire is wearing a fisherman's costume from Volendam, Holland, in the west of the Netherlands.
I have seen this subject before, it is after a work by a known painter.

In the duplicate thread Do said they were found in Germany.

 

I remember the name of the painter of the original, it is Adri Bleijs, 1877-1964. I haven't been able to find it though.
He began painting Volendam scenes in 1922. That means your copy was made a few years later at the earliest.

 

He did a series with that model, didn't he.

Probably a different man, but yes, also a Volendam man reading by the hearth.
Volendam was already an artist and tourist destination in the 19th century, and paintings like this were popular with tourists and locals alike.

 

Sorry. Meant Bleijs seems to have used the same model over and over again.

Yes, a cliché image.

‘Good advice, it always makes it easier to search, save me the time to get a better view stretching it.

I bet he worked cheap, or was free. (i.e. Grandpa/papa)

 

He certainly has an expressive face.
