    I found these 2 paintings at a local thrift store today (first time I went this week; I've been fighting a cold!) and when I googled their names they both came up, but I've never heard of either?

    Has anyone heard of either of these artists? (Max Moreau & Albert Mohr both have paintings on eBay but only Max Moreau has ever sold any - and that was only 1)
    Thoughts on the paintings? (Are they well done?)

    Thank you for any help!

    The Max Moreau in artnet paints in an entirely different style and subject matter than your painting, Journey. I would not jump to the conclusion that they are by the same person.

    Signatures I saw look the same?

    And his bio states he did paint Paris scenes!

    I agree with Bakersgma. I think the painting style and signature looks by a totally different hand.

    Another difference to note perhaps, ones I saw didn’t have a location noted underneath like yours. Here’s more sigs. Script, caps mixture, take your pick. All supposed to be painted by the same person.

    See a lot of paintings on different sale sites and like the previous post listed as.....Signed Max Moreau...which straight away suggests to me they are not painted by Max Moreau.I'm of the opinion that your painting is not by Max Moreau as firstly the outline of the buildings in Moreau paintings are more clear and precise,and the tops of the buildings in your painting are IMO very poorly painted,secondly there are 12 women portrayed in your painting on the one street corner,which again to me does not seem right,in Moreaus paintings there are generally a mix of people, couples ,women, and men.So unfortunately Journey I would have to say that your painting falls into the.......(signed Max Moreau) ...category
