<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ZeeFinds, post: 2727555, member: 16546&quot;]What I have learned in my travels with art and painting appraisals is this is described as decorator painting. They were mass produced for sale in department stores and boutiques, circa 1950 to 1970 for the most part. The quality and value can vary quite a bit. Depending on size, subject, and quality, they are usually worth $50 to $200.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen some of the ships at sea, (schooner sailboats), go for the high end and there&#039;s one particular artist that escapes me, and people definitely collect his work. </p><p><br /></p><p>A really great find would be one by the Italian artist, Antonio DeVity. His canvases are stamped on the back with his name (there are Chinese forgeries w/o the stamp). These are worth more than most of the decorator painters. I found a good DeVity cityscape for $20 at a thrift shop and resold it for $330.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
