<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 122776, member: 37&quot;]Some final comments about pair #7.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Painting A appears to be a nocturnal scene to me.&nbsp; I imagine a moon-lit night and find it dark and mysterious.&nbsp; I also find it peaceful with a sense of solitude.&nbsp; It has some of the same characteristics of the regionalist paintings we discussed before.&nbsp;&nbsp; There is a rhythm to the rolling hills and lines of foliage.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It is by listed artist Nota Koslowsky (Polish/American 1906-1972).&nbsp; The frame is original to the painting and I figure this dates to the 40s or so.&nbsp; You will note a small number affixed to the frame top left.&nbsp; I believe this to be an exhibition number but am not certain.&nbsp; I bought this many years ago off ebay for about $50.00 if my memory serves.&nbsp;&nbsp; As mentioned, this painting is in need of some restoration so I currently have it stored away.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Painting B is quite interesting to me.&nbsp; I get a fauvist sense from it due to how the color was used.&nbsp; The technique is somewhat expressionist and also a bit surreal.&nbsp; There is an overall feeling of tension to this.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if it is something foreboding or just that the status quo can&#039;t remain.&nbsp; I have never seen another painting quite like this. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is unsigned.&nbsp; It has some age to it and is painted on masonite. I bought this for very little off ebay since it needed some restoration.&nbsp; It has been cleaned and restored.&nbsp; The frame is modern and one I put on it.&nbsp; It hangs right above my computer and I look at it every day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
