Waterfall Oil Painting

By BarbDL, 28 October, 2010
Description

 My painting is still in the original frame. Frame is made of plaster and has a couple of small chips in it.  The painting itself is in excellent condition, but needs cleaning.  On the back of the painting (on the frame of the painting) is a paper with the following information:  harry hoffmann - Kunstmaler     bad  ems     schillerstraBe2    telefon  2046        The frame has this written on it:  wasserfall   le/munchen.    The painting is signed Harry Hoffman 1961.  There is something else written under the artists signature but I can not read what it is

Harry Hoffman
Harry Hoffman was my grandfather. I think he was a wonderful artist and a wonder grandfather.

I have a large Harry Hoffmann painting done in 1967 by commission for my mom in Germany.  It is a monk tasting wine in the winery. Two small paintings were also purchased each of a German guy drinking beer.  the frames are also plaster.  I can't seem to find anything on this painter a either. 

Would like to find more info on this and Heinrich Faust horse painting from around the same year.  I have quite a few paintings here at my mom and dads: a Hann snow mountain scene, K Smith scenery, Nordmann scenery, and a water color by Vergl Goodnight 1984 13/500.   [email protected]

Harry Hoffmann was my granduncle (his wife and my father's mother were siblings). Harry Hoffmann was born in Berlin, Germany in 1919. He married in Berlin in 1941. They had one son named Norbert who lived in Bad Duerkheim, Germany for a long time. Harry Hoffmann lived in Spesbach near Landstuhl in Germany. He died in 1991. His pictures are certainly of an ideal value as they show typical german subjects or "german gemuetlichkeit". Regards, Alex
