This is a vintage later 20th century, large scale 60" x 48" original unsigned painting on canvas that is loose, or unstretched that is filled with symbolism. Unsigned, it is most likely a student work and not done by a listed, known artist. It is creative in statement and representation which has been interpreted by the current owner as a Cold War subject "because of the fact of the early computers in the painting, as well as the circus performers of that era were mostly from communist countries and many were thought to be spies. The presence of military men in the painting as well as world maps and ticker tape stock market screen only exemplifies my thoughts on this painting. Also some of the people have zombie like eyes suggesting them being brainwashed." As an unsigned work by unknown author, the piece would have more decorative and time in history reference than a fine art piece for investment purposes.
hey the only thing i see close to a signature on the painting is eli on one of the guys shirts. the reason i said Russian spy is what to me looks like is going on in the painting. I am far from an expert. i would love to hear your opinion.
I attribute it to the Cold War as the subject matter because of the fact of the early computers in the painting, as well as the circus performers of that era were mostly from communist countries and many were thought to be spies. The presence of military men in the painting as well as world maps and ticker tape stock market screen only exemplifies my thoughts on this painting. Also some of the people have zombie like eyes suggesting them being brainwashed.
Those are some fine observations of the images depicted in this work. Do you know who the artist was of this painting and is it signed or notated anywhere?
I have no idea who the artist was, i can not find any signatures on the painting any where.
Is this signed on the front or any notations on the backside? And may I please know why you attribute the subject matter to being a "Cold War Russian Spy" painting?
