<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 118859, member: 37&quot;]Here is the info on these paintings:</p><p><br /></p><p>Painting A is by listed German painter Franz Högner (1903-1979).&nbsp; He was an accomplished artist that worked professionally from a young age.&nbsp; He is the brother of artist Hugo Högner.&nbsp; The painting is dated 1923, so completed when he was just 20.&nbsp; I purchased this painting many years ago on ebay for $350.00.&nbsp; It remains in my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Painting B is by listed Rhode Island artist, William Alden Brown (b. 1887).&nbsp; I believe it to be a plein air &quot;sketch&quot; since many of his paintings are more finished than this.&nbsp; It is dated 1949.&nbsp; I purchased this on ebay many years ago for about $130.00.&nbsp; I sold it last year for $350.00, also on ebay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Painting C is by a somewhat obscure PA artist by the name of J. Ray Yokum (b. 1915).&nbsp; I found a few works by him done while he was in the service and some post cards based on some paintings of his depicting historical regional PA scenes.&nbsp; I found mention of a work held in a University collection and some works done for a town and a church.&nbsp; I could find no photos of these last works.&nbsp; I believe he had a sign and graphic art business in PA at some point. </p><p><br /></p><p>This painting is one of a pair I purchased on ebay many years ago.&nbsp; I think I paid about $60.00 for it plus shipping.&nbsp; I purchased it with another painting by Yokum that is the same size and framed identically.&nbsp; The painting is of a completely different subject matter (Back side of some row houses along a creek) but compliments this well.&nbsp; I paid about $25.00 for it and both were shipped together.&nbsp; The seller said that they came from a corporate office in VA where they had hung for many years.&nbsp; Both paintings are dated 1958.&nbsp; Both remain in my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
