<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 1739443, member: 6444"]I have a pair of pastels (I think) on paper. One of them large 27" by 16", labelled and dated to Paris, 1962. One frame missing, the other broken and partially missing, needs cleaning. Inspired by Van Gogh, I think it is fair to say, though not a copy of any work he did that I could find, so original pieces I think. 75 years too late to be of any interest to a collector of impressionist art, I assume.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can't find any mention of the artist, so didn't make a name. (Maybe someone else can find him?) I guess a talented student from the US maybe taking classes in Europe?</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm trying to sort all the art I've collected, and there is a lot. Given condition I should throw these out and move on to the next. Unknown artist, no market, discard it, right? But I really like his work. Can anyone find anything on the artist or have any other reason to try to reframe and save these? Or do they belong in the dumpster?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]238301[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]238302[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]238303[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]238304[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]238305[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]238306[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
