Paining with a Spielmann signature?

By misshighfill, 1 July, 2011
Description

 My neighbor found it in his attic in So. California, thought it was cool and hung it on his wall. He owed me some money so I ask for the painting as payment since I loved the colors and style and he gave it to me.

Re: Paining with a Spielmann signature?

Paintings like this are virtually painted by "Starving Artists". They are painted to order for wholesalers that buy paintings cheap based on what selling, eg. "Surf on a beach" . Several copies are painted with minor variation on each theme, eg "give me fifty with a lighthouse, 10 with seagulls and twenty without". What this means is these paintings are really decorator art, though some are well crafted, they seldom apprecaite much in value unless the artist goes onto better things and attains some fame or notoriety.
