Old Paintings

One of my readers contacted me recently asking if I could tell if these paintings were painted by Frederick Arthur Bridgman. Since I always enjoy looking at old paintings and playing detective, I asked for photographs of the front and back. By looking for any similarities between the submitted painting to that of an artist's body of work, there is always that hope that something might offer a hint as to it's origins.

Clues can often be glimpsed from the back of a painting on markings in the frames. Unfortunately I could offer no further information and as always recommend that authentication has to be left to those who are trained in this matter.I always recommend that if you have an old painting, which you believe might be by a famous artist, it is best to contact one of the major auction houses and have one of their specialists have a peek.

I am posting these paintings here in case someone does recognize the painting. One never knows ...

Dahesh Collection at University of Hartford

I received this information via Email from the Dahesh museum and thought I pass it along for those interested in attending. If you would share your experience with me, I would greatly appreciate it.

The Joseloff Gallery at the University of Hartford has organized Enchantment, an exciting exhibition and symposium slated to open November 6, 2009.

The exhibition juxtaposes artworks from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, mostly drawn from the Museum’s collection, with works by contemporary artists, many of whom pay direct homage to Romantic and academic traditions, while others use irony and humor to celebrate the genre in today’s world.

To discuss the links and crossovers, Dr. J. David Farmer, Dahesh’s Director of Exhibitions, will join in a panel discussion on drawing—then and now. For a full list of artists and lectures: visit http://www.hartford.edu.
