<p>[QUOTE="antidiem, post: 4400191, member: 30"]Agree with every point you've made. I doubt this is much older than the 1980s also, although I'm not ruling age out. I also think it's been remounted onto newer stretcher bars (certainly newer than the frame). The "canvas" that I can see around the edges seems too thin to have actually been painted directly on to, as it would sag and I see no evidence of that from the front. The masonite seems to be holding it tight, so not sure if it's not just painted onto too thin canvas and then glued to the masonite. I would not take this out of the frame to find out. The off proportions of the foreshortening are uncomfortable, his wrists to his elbows are way too short for an average man. I don't know what "style" to peg this, it's closest to pointillism, but a mishmosh of styles. I like the frame, but not the fact that it was modified horribly in the back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
