Featured Picasso

i have a post card of it i bought off ebay

 

Interesting i must say

 

pictures in my books suck so i go to the net and find them through out the years and compare brush strokes , i found a hair above the O and have tried to get it tested but no luck so far they say it can be done on the news and tv books ,4 by 10 glossies lol but when i try to reach them no luck or they don't really do that just turn their backs on me you would think they would want to get involver right , i even have all the money i need to do it and still nothing, it's a tough nut to crack hehe

 

Alright man I’m out good talking to you and good luck with the chair wishing the best

 

ditto with yours .

 

if you are interested, i will tell you the other secret ( but unproven ) theory i have about ,when it spins ,tomorrow .

 

yes

 

lloyd, I don't think you've started a thread about your chair, but have posted onto other threads. I don't think your chair is as old as you think, so maybe it is worth starting a new discussion with all your pics and I'll show what I'm seeing.

 

the fine people here helped me find the information on the henderson company and it was started in 1914 and was sold out to aymes in 1958 and became henderson and aymes, so thanks anyways .

 

had to slip out back now

 

pre damage before the paint and post damage after the paint . before it was already in bad shape as a chair would have given slivers and the bottom rung was missing (clearly broken off as there is no saw or file marks , big chunks of wood taken out of it ,normal wear and tear for a chair .

It was around 1912-1913 that Norman L. Henderson arrived in St. Lambert. He then lives at 47 Hickson Avenue (or 70 in 1920 and 124 in 1940). In 1914, he opened Henderson Furniture, a children's furniture manufacturing company, on Bute Street (355, later).
The company is sold in 1946 to LG Daignault. Norman Henderson then worked as a mechanical engineer at Canada Packers then at Stelco in 1950.

 

i have a date/inventory code and a picasso signature half under and over the paint ,and a manufacturing label for the chair .

 

this is from biro testing the paint stated there is nothing on this chair that wasn't available to picasso in his time so no modern paint on it

 

and sorry , no i didn't do a thread on this .

 

I never saw a full catalog from Vincent Price's Sears department stores art gallery. He curated fine art from around the world for American Joes.

Vincent Price Brought Rembrandt and Picasso to Sears!

Your Don Quixote print, serigraph or...? could easily have come from the Sears collection. They were signed by some of the greats of the 20th century, and sold for real money. Because they were real art




Can't say the same for the ad copy!

Piet Mondrian
Sometimes square can be hip! As Mondrian. He digs those squares. Cool squares. Blue squares. Even hip squares! Far out, man!

Composition: oil on canvas, signed.

5x5 feet, framed, modern, white, clear finish, glass protected $800

There's a nice Picasso, right there vvv



I'd kill for that bucket hat!

 

Lloyd, don't you find it strange that Picasso would have painted a Canadian made chair?
Picasso never lived in Canada, and I have never seen Canadian furniture this side of the pond (Europe).

 

Far out, man!

 

Great thread!
