    Found these thrift store hunting yesterday & had a couple of questions?
    First one - is this a Erte? (Can't see a signature)

    The 2nd one with the giant cat bringing a fish out of the ocean - can anyone tell me who the artist is? (I tried McEri but a much older artist came up)

    3rd one is probably just a week end painter but it was unusual - as was what it was painted on! I just wanted to show you & see what you thought.

    Thanks!

    If the kids in the pool is actually painted on the surface, it's the most interesting to me, and framable advertising art.

    Sure looks like Erte to me...but there were probably a few skilled copy-cats. Betcha some signature is under the matting.

    That one is Ver' Nice!

    I think for every genuine Erte there are thousands of look-alikes. The chance of finding the genuine article, especially in a thrift, is very slim :(

    If it were a print of an Erte piece I would expect there to be a signature that is easy to see.

    Of the four, I like the cat. Of course. (meow)

    I would think Cynthia was an art student.

    Sorry if I missed it but the artist of the giant cat is Michael Leu.

    Does anyone know who the artist is?

    Thank you - and don't feel bad; I missed your answer & just asked if anyone knew the artist! lol

    Not painted unfortunately - any idea what it is advertising? (Hotel? But the walkway around the pool looks like it'd be on a cruise ship?)

    I looked, but didn't find anything with that portion of the heading or image. :(
