Description
I have two John Peers clown paintings for sale. I don't believe these are prints It is my understanding that Peers was a painter in the 1950's, who lived in San Francisco, and painted clown paintings for money for his food/drink. He would paint these when he needed money and sell them. These seem to be collectables. As one picture shows they are on canvas material
Re: Peers clown paintings
You are correct about the artist, except these are most likely from the 1960's. He rarely painted other subjects but I was able to convince him to do an old Victorian house that was being torn down. It took about a year to get it from him but he came thru. Still have that and two clown paintings. He would charge anywhere from $20 to $40 for the clowns, unframed of course. He would frequently show up at the SF produce market restaurant/bar selling his paintings.
Doubt there is a large market for these, but they are colorful and a bit of SF history as well as mine.
