<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 308846, member: 84&quot;]I found this today &amp; liked it, so I googled the name to see if he was a known artist. Right away came up different prints available by him so I knew he was known &amp; bought the painting.</p><p>But when I got home &amp; searched more - all I saw were prints by him! Now I thought they made prints from paintings - of known artists - and if all the print by this guy were of his paintings then he&#039;s painted a lot of paintings - but I couldn&#039;t find one for sale (or an example).</p><p>Has anyone heard of Carmen Bonanno? </p><p>NOTE: I just looked again &amp; found his bio - it appears he painted murals &amp; churches before getting into etchings.</p><p>so if this is a painting by him is it rare? Or valuable? Is it the same Carmen Bonanno?</p><p>As always I appreciate any help.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS - Carmen Bonanno Bio:</p><p>Carman Bonanno was born in New York but returned to Italy at the age of nine. He attended various schools in both Southern Italy and Sicily before entering an art school in Rome, then supported himself by painting murals and sacred pictures in a number of churches. He returned to New York in 1931 and studied etching and drypoint techniques at the Art Students League. Bonanno served with the U.S. forces as an aviation engineer in both North Africa and in Italy during World War II. Both during and after the war, he worked on a number of fine drypoints and etchings which were published in both Italy and in New York by the Associated American Artists. Equally gifted for both his figure studies and views of Italy, Carman Bonanno&#039;s work received wide acclaim both here and in Europe.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]101824[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]101825[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
