Here is a picture of a signature on a painting. Whose signature is it? It sort of looks like Wadams.
If it helps, the painting itself is of a horse.
Do you have a picture of the full painting? You can search by image in Google.
The painting long predates Google.
Whoosh? Lots of things on Google predate Google. Google “Washington Crossing the Delaware.” The famous painting is from 1851…but it’s on Google.
Heh. That was sweet.
Hoi Lebadang
But that’s been publicly displayed and photograph. This one’s been in private hands for ~40 years, probably purchased from the artist directly.
An example - I think it matches - so Im sticking with my guess (although “Hoi” might be something he used just for prints and not a name):
I note you can get in on real canvas for $18.99, however.
I will also note that “authentically signed” paintings from the Asian boiler room studios have been around for at least 40 years. They are real paintings - just done assembly-line style with one “artist” doing each element of the image, including signing it. I saw a hilarious comparison of signatures from one such ‘real art show’ where the signatures were all the same - something much like “W. Adams” - but in a vast range of styles and hands.
Not saying your example is one such. There are many sources for oil paintings, from the sublime to the say-what.
The signature is LebaDang. I matched the signature against this (see the third mini-pic).
It probably is.
Winner!
Ah! Yes, that would be difficult to search for! That makes all the difference.
Can you tell us, just to satisfy ordinary human curiosity, what the painting is? i.e., a portrait of some local bank president, or a landscape of the beaches of Long Island, or…whatever?
It’s just a painting of a horse. Amateur Barbarian has the right of it - it’s just a boiler-room job and nothing special.
