Re: Original Oil Painting size 5 x 7
I have an original oil by the same artist (different outdoor city scene), purchased at a flea market for next to nothing, and I LOVE mine!Ā Did you ever find anything out about this piece?Ā My search of "Tam My" only lead me here.Ā I'm not finding anything on the other possible artist name either.
Re: Original Oil Painting size 5 x 7
A little more information from what I assume is a similar impressionist style painting signed "Tam Son:"
"These were decorator pieces from back in the 50's and 60's. They are from the school of ( meaning in the style of) Antoine Blanchard ( Ā Marcel Masson) .Born:Ā 15 November 1910; Blois, FranceĀ Died:Ā 10 August 1988; Paris, France. This iconic Ā impressionist style is almost always a Paris street scene such as the "Champs Elysee " or a "Grand Boulevard". They can be actual locations or just fantasy pieces.Yes, they were produced "en masse" by many different and talented artists, mostly unknowns. That's why it is so hard to find the artists bio's It was just their "day job" so to speak. I collect these and while not extremely valuable unless you get an original Blanchard and a few other artists, they are prized by people who want "vintage" decorator pieces. I've seen them go at auction for between 50 to 200 dollars. They are usually large "sofa paintings" ( 36" x 40 plus") which were popular during the 50's through the 70's. There are some good ones and some bad ones."
I think this is likely what each of us have with our Tam My pieces.Ā I hope this helps!!
