Subject:Need Help w/identifying Japanese? Mid-Century Painting
Posted By: Jim Wed, Nov 16, 2016 IP: 50.173.234.173 hi everyone. i found this piece recently and in truth, i'm still not sure what i think of it. but, i kept thinking, it might be of some value, so i went ahead and bought it. it wasn't too expensive. anyway, i'm hoping someone out there can help me decipher the caligraphy characters. it's larger and painted on an old piece of board. any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks |

Posted By: rat Thu, Nov 17, 2016 this is modern and painted and inscribed by a westerner going for a Chinese style. The characters are not written by a Chinese person and are a transliteration of the artist's name into traditional characters that have no obvioius English reading to me 赛爾榮易士梅 |

Posted By: Jim Sat, Nov 19, 2016 oh well, i'm chuckling as i write this. it's not like i was banking on this being something incredible. it's just the kind of thing you run into and to an untrained eye it looks like it could be something. i guess that's five bucks i'll never see again. |
