Signature On Landscape

Any suggestions on the name?

 

Forgot the end

 

Fred ___ III

 

Last part is a year ..... 1995?

 

It does look like 1995 but I think the piece is older than that.

 

Looks like the Andes.

Debora

 

Thought the name as it looks to me was improbable, but turns out there is a contemporary photographer who has it: Fred Legios. No reason to think he's this painter.

 

1975.
Name something with 'a Fred o Elos'?
Agree with Debora, it does look like the Andes.

 

Fred . Enos? The little dot in between might just be a flouris?

 

That's how it looks to me too.

 

I hope it’s not this guy!

 

Looks like Alfredo Lobos to me.

Wow. Amazing job. Definitely not the guy from the picture
I was very close to list it as Fred Enos.

 

I can only find the Chilean painter Alfredo Lobos, who died in 1917:

Strangely, artnet has the same year of death, but has him painting in the 1950s and even in 2005.

There were three brothers, Alfredo Lobos Alfaro, Alfredo Lobos Aranguiz and Alberto Lobos. Aranguiz and Alberto died young, 1917 and 1925. Alfaro painted into the mid 20thC. & was prolific, I've had a half dozen of his paintings.

 

I’m getting getting really confused about the whole Lobos story.
According to wiki, there were three bothers that were members of a group of painters knows as The Generation 13.

The Lobos brothers: A group of three brothers from modest origins who exerted great influence on their peers and are remembered as lovers of Spanish tradition, inherited from their teacher.

• • Enrique Lobos (1887–1918):[26] The eldest brother, influenced by his partner Enrique Beatrix, and considered by some the most representative artist of The 13 Generation.
• Alfredo Lobos (1890–1927):[27] The middle borher, he travelled to Spain for a major exhibition; died before finding success in Chile.
• Alberto Lobos (1892–1925):[28] Born in Rancagua and was the youngest of the brothers. Believed to have died at the age of 33 (though there is some disagreement on the date of his death).

An Ebay seller kind of confirm the info on the brothers but he also seems to mix things up.

He says that the painting is by Alfredo Lobos Alfaro and then mentions that
Alfredo Lobos Alfaro was the son of Alfredo Lobos Aranguiz ( 1890-1917).
It does not makes sense the father to be born the same period as the sons.
Then he says the painting appears to be from 1934.

The wiki info says the the Alberto year of death is a bit questionable and indeed I found paintings on Ebay with dates from the 1940’s. He seems to sign his pieces with regular letters Alfredo Lobos not the fancy ones like Alfredo.Also finding some signed A.Lobos with later dates.


Not a lot can be find on Enrique Lobos but to me it looks like he was the most skillful, his style is different and mostly did portraits:

So, back to Alfredo. If the wiki info on his death is correct, there is no way his painting to have been dated later than 1927.

What I think is that most people are misreading the dates in the Alfredo pieces. In my case, is it possible the year to be 1915 but not 1975?

 

Now, here also comes the question who was Alfredo Lobos Aranguiz. If he was the father of the 3 other painters then his dates of birth and death are incorrect all over the internet, English and Spanish websites.
Or maybe he was a completely different painter with no blood relationship to the other Lobos. Unless a cousin or something...

Here are paintings of him, signed Alfredo Lobos A.

If Anundverkaufen info is correct and the brothers were Alfredo Lobos Alfaro, Alfredo Lobos Aranguiz and Alberto Lobos, the. who was Enrique? Maybe he is not a brother but a different person?

 

Lots of lobos (he! he!) This one looks as if it's by the same one.

Debora

 

I have never heard of a family where two brothers (living at the same time) have the same name. If someone calls Alfredo, do two people answer? Or no one, because they both think it was meant for the other?
In Spain, people add their mother's surname to their father's. This could be the same in parts of Latin America.
So in the case of Alfredo Lobos Alfaro, the father's name is Lobos, the mother's Alfaro. In the case of Alfredo Lobos Aranguiz, the father's name is Lobos, the mother's Aranguiz. One Alfredo could be the son or nephew of the other.
