Featured Needing Help In Identifying This 1960's Artist Watercolor Painting - Thanks!

Looking up online this kind of Modern Art 1960's style Paintings you find a handful and some are quite Famous. Don't know if I am that Lucky but would like this Artist Signature Identified. So many Letters I can't even guess at what Country the Artist came from! It looks to be part Watercolor and (Crayon??). Very Different! Measures 16 x 12 Inches and is on stiff paper. I really Appreciate the Help! Gary K

 

it'd be so nice if the guy dated his work...

 

Palubinskas, which is a Lithuanian surname. So the artist could be Lithuanian, or a Lithuanian migrant in another country.

 

Think your artist surname is Palubinskas.Not sure if initial letter N A or even L.There are artists Nijole Lina and Renata [ a long shot] with that surname all artists..Maybe someone will be able to narrow it down more for you but beleive surname is right.

 

Good G**! Now I see it but before... Looks like first initial "N."

The title of the one above is in English and for sale in U.S. so I'd assume a U.S. artist. Signature below for comparison.

Nijole would be right, I'd think. Associated with The Cleveland Museum of Art. Born 1932 so period right.

Biography here. Came to U.S. from Lithuania in 1949. Designed greeting cards. (Now that's an interesting area to explore.)

And... In her own words... (How often does that happen?)

Debora,agree Nijole is most likely artist.

 

Lina appears to be her daughter. Perhaps she'll ask her mother the title and approximate date for you. (But think you're right about early 1960s. Part of the waif-in-art movement. Think Keene.)

Wow You All! Thanks! Love this Forum! So many knowledgeable Artists / Collectors willing to Help out another. Other Forum Sites I have had no reponse even if my Questions sat there for a year! You got it right Debora! Definitely the Artist Nijole Palubinskas. Thank You Debora and all you others that Helped! Just Awesome! Gary K

 

No credit to me. I only benefited from other's keen eyes. And then I got a bit nosy on the internet. But, frankly, I thought no one would ever be able to read that signature. Impressed that wasn't the case. (And a Lithuanian surname even!)

A group effort, one of the things that makes Amtiquers the best place to be.

I blame it on the EU. Since Lithuania is a member state, I've been hearing more of those impressive Lithuanian names.
