    I found this at a garage sale today in Portland, Oregon.

    I've found some obits for people names Fogle, but none mention an artist.

    Thanks for any comments and/or help with the name!

    Oils on Masonite. Measures 12.5" x 25" (32x64cm).

    The woman I bought it from said she called it 'machine man', noting the gears and belts in his face. She didn't know its origins.

    Weird that in @Kronos 's auction link, the estimate was 6000-9000 but sold for 400. Maybe the experts weren't impressed by the 'in the style of' Paul Klee.

    komokwa The Truth is out there...!

    that's rather strange seeing as how with that estimate the must have been an opening bid of several thousands..
