    A striking mid century painting found in my local Thrift shop. Depicting a man on a horse, looking upwards to the sky. Beautiful hues of blue, greens with expressive brush technique.

    Can anyone read the signature?

      Dimensions? On canvas, art board, etc.? An image of the back might provide some clues about age, origins, etc.

      Interesting painting. Looks like a combination of brush and palette knife work.

      Your painting is an interpretation of a painting by Georges Rouault depicting Joan of Arc. He painted this work in 1948-1949. As far as I know, it is privately owned.

      I think that mp.kunst is saying that this is a copy, or after, another painting, which he identifies, but that does not identify who the artist was who made this copy, so that mystery is not solved.

      kwqd, Yup, I see what you see with the signature reading "CHAIM" somebody-or-other.

      What else is interesting to me is that this 1stdibs print of Rouault's Jeanne D'Arc is faced the other way:

      Here's one faced the same way as the one in this post:

      Here's another facing the same way on a book about Rouault by Giuseppe Marchiori:

      Another Rouault Jeanne D'Arc:

      It looks like Rouault painted Jeanne D'Arc more than once, huh?

      However, none of this deciphers the signature on the painting in this post.

      Nice work, keramikos!

      kwqd, Hey, I was just following mp-kunst's lead so that I might see the original.

      Like you, I was trying to decipher that name on the painting in this post, to no avail.

      Chaim, honey, wherefore art thou? };-)

      The position of the "Y" is weird. I tried some other variations without the "Y" and still nothing.
