Featured Folk Art Painting...Artist ID Help???

It's the first sight illusion that did it...and it is small on my fArt smoNe.

 

I know.........I hope you're not watch the movie on your phone...!

 

Ha! No. On my 'new'..... FREE 52" TV.

 

p.s. Finished RSRD now Valkyrie.

 

don't miss SNL !..later on..

 

I don't watch it.

 

I haven't watched SNL since the classic crew out grew it

 

They look like caveman shaman frogs to me.

 

The fact of the large size of it adds a huge value to it.

 

Komo, hon, trust me when I tell you this: FROGS HAVE TOES!
HAHAHAAHAAHAA!!!

 

Sperls, It's a great piece and I think I've seen this artist's work before but I have no idea of "who" did it. I would still put a thousands of dollars price on it, especially if you are selling it online.

We may be able to tell you approximately when the frame was made if we can see a close up of the corners and back. What state did you find this in?

 

It was purchased in Chicago,at an estate sale...I would date this 1970`s-80`s ???...I have sent pictures to a couple auction houses...I hope the artist can be identified??....

Thank you

 

Looking at it from a novices POV. It seems that the little white figure is fighting his demons but is powerful enough to throw them back as they encroach.
It may represent the struggles of the artists mental illness or in general the struggles of modern man surrounded by the chaos of our modern lives.
It is a most intriguing painting and well done, as it has envoked a mixture of feelings and discussion.

 

Send an image to the High Museum in Atlanta. Their modern art section specializes in this type of work.

 

Here are pictures of corners & back of painting....It does not appear to be very old......I would think 1970`s-80`s
