Old thread, but just found it, and this is definitely a brutalist Pal Kepenyes piece, and I wouldn't let go of it for less than $2k if I were to...
Doesn't look like Hokusai at all to me. His brush work has. a strength and vitality to it that this one lacks. If you look at his woodblock prints...
Nice basis for a stained glass piece.
In China (and I think also in Japan) long earlobes are also seen as a sign of longevity, someone who will live a long life; if also "fleshy and...

Love it! Vase color and mounts match perfectly. Very nice piece.
Just curious, does the hat come off? Or is it all a solid piece? First feeling looking at it: Contentment (in a Daoist way...) No worries in...
Welcome Danielle! Mind sharing how it's done? I've always been curious how buying storage units works, and how the pro buyers sort of evaluate...
PRECIOUS! I usually refer to it as Fakebook, and it's owner as Mr. Suckerberg, but I love it: "Farcebook" :joyful::happy:;):hilarious: Thank...
