Yesterday I aquired a nice modern painting at a auction. I like the picture a lot, but unfortunatly I don't know
the name of the artist. It has a signature but I can't tell what it means.
To find out the artist's name I would like to show it to some art savy people. Is there an art message board equivalent
to soulstrut, where I can ask people to identify an artist ?
Thanks in advance!

You want to art world.
Truly.
Post a pic, there are smart people here with wide interests.
it's painted with oil colours, size is 80 cm x 60 cm and porbably from the 60s or 70s. It was aquired from the collection of a deceased architect from Nuremberg. His widow told me that the artist's name might be "Hunt".
Unfortuantly I can't find an artist with this name who's stlye corresponds with the picture or the signature.
That's on some Mongering Mike tip.
I wasn't aware of that google search filter yet. I just tried it, but with no usable result. Thanks for the hint anyway.
The result I want is similar images.
This has never been the result I received.
I went to the google campus for a training and saw ways that it can work, but like you, I've been frustrated with results.
One really cool tip I learned was using image searches for when you don't really know all of the needed info. Like you know there's a book on guerrilla warfare with a blue cover, but you can't remember the title. "Guerrilla warfare book" as the search and then use the filter to sort by color. I've used it a few times with success, working as a librarian.
I was talking about 'search by image' where you take an image and drop it into the google search box.
For text searches I often do image search and find it very useful.
^ The sentence does not scan, but hopefully you know what I mean.
Gotcha on both parts. We were talking about the same thing. I was saying dropping in an image often doesn't work.
The other part was just a semi related tip.
Interesting puzzle. If you figure it out let us know.
thanks for your effort! At the moment I don't know who or where to ask. It will probably remain a mystery. :cry:

Honestly, I don't think this picture is something really extraordinary and worth to be broadcasted about. Secondly I'm more than camera-shy. Just the thought of beeing seen by potentially 100 million people makes me shiver with fear. :zooted:
$5 to look. $10 to touch.
So smooth. Man got that printed on his smalls.
Ios maybe.
Yes, it does and I'd guess late 50s to early 60s.
After inverting the image and messing with the contrast some it looks like "Arthur Burton" to me.
Thanks for your help. Do you think it might be the stamp of this guy?

Honestly I don't think the last name on that stamp is "Burton". This picture was bought from a german collector in Germany, whose rest of the collection consisted mainly of pictures by german artists and I guess they were bought in domestic galleries. It's more likely that the name is a german one.
I'm still groping in the dark what the name might be, though.
