<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 115788, member: 37&quot;]Guess we are done with these so will post final comments.&nbsp; Both these paintings are by listed artists who studied under or were mentored by more famous artists.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Painting A</b> is by Chicago artist Ann Roman.&nbsp; She had some kind of association with Constantine Pougialis and you can see his influence throughout her work.&nbsp; Not a lot is known about her but there is a growing auction record for her work. </p><p><br /></p><p>I purchased this as part of a large lot of works by both her and Pougialis.&nbsp; It was one of 4 watercolors done on a large single sheet of paper front and back.&nbsp; I cut it in two, creating two two-sided paintings.&nbsp; Here is the painting that is on the backside of this work. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]29125[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>It slightly overlapped the center margin so part of it was lost when cut. This work was part of my collection for many years but I sold it about a year and one half ago when I was culling my collection a bit.&nbsp; The selling price was somewhere around $75.00 if I remember correctly.&nbsp; The other half, matted and framed, was sold years before for roughly double that.&nbsp; Both sides of it were more similar to the back of this one.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Painting B</b> is by William Harry Gothard (1908 - ?).&nbsp; He is a well known social realist with a strong reputation.&nbsp; He studied under both Issac and Raphael Soyer.&nbsp; My understanding is that this work was created when he was a student under the latter.&nbsp; I purchased this from an ebay seller who maintained he received it directly from the artist and passed on the information about the painting.&nbsp; I think you can see the influence of Soyer in this work.&nbsp; This painting remains in my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
