<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 9422231, member: 84&quot;]These were the only half decent art pieces I saw today at a local thrift store - at first glance I thought they were the same name (a 2nd closer look squashed that idea!).</p><p>The first is from the 1950&#039;s and is signed A. Mark Datz &amp; googling his name the first link I saw was to one of his pieces in the Smithsonian American Art Museum - and the 2nd was to the Whitney Museum of American Art (even though it says he&#039;s from Russia)!</p><p>Has anyone heard of him? Can anyone tell me what I have - a drawing? a print? a painting? My first thought was a drawing because some of the people (on right side) have half their face in red (as well as long funny nose &amp; other unusual looks).</p><p>Did I hit a home run with this one?!</p><p><br /></p><p>The 2nd one is a artist proof by a modest artist named J. C . Litz - there is a personal note on it thanking someone for liking his work &amp; that is signed James Charles Litz. Googling him I found his work described as &#039;Primitive - Naive&#039; style.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hoping someone can tell me more about my Datz piece and hoping you&#039;all like the Litz cafe (with the J.C. Litz fan club jacket, the J.C. Litz trucking jacket + Dr. J.C. Litz with his doctor&#039;s bag - like I said; a modest artist!)&nbsp; Enjoy!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]432853[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]432855[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]432856[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]432857[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]432858[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]432859[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]432860[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]432861[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]432862[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]432863[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
