    Good Morning Fellow Members:

    May i trouble any of you on a signature that I am not familiar with (again). I am attaching the whole photo and also the photo of the signature at the bottom of the art. I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

    Thank You.

    Anway perhaps? That's really hard to see, Dino. Is it an unframed canvas?

    It may be a really long long shot, but you might want to look into if this could be a Man Ray work.

    Apologize for not replying back sooner.

    I saw this yesterday in my attic. I removed the frame yesterday and saw the signature.

    Who is Man Ray? If you will look closely at the top of the art, there is a dedication written "To my Girlie..."

    From the signature examples I looked at, I would say not Man Ray.

    Do you think it came from the Philippines?

    The dedication reads to my eye "To Gabe with love and affection."

    Dino, as you're a new member, just wanted to let you know that it helps us help you if you give us all the information up front. That means photographs of the full artwork including frame both front and back along with close-ups of the signature and any labels, stickers and handwritten notations. Also any information about the work's provenance. How long have you had the work? Where did you get it? What country are you in? Then we're armed with all the information you have and can work from there.

    I apologize if my response was not clear. This signature and the artwork do not look anything like Man Ray's work.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    That's what I was thinking - or Kan Way, Kanwoy, Kan Woy. Also the first letter does look most like a K but could be an N.
