    I heavily collected military related artwork about 15 years ago. This was/ is one of my favorite pieces.

    The painting is about 2' X 3' ( see the door handle just above it, to the right) and depicts a WW1 Corporal protecting the US Flag with his M1911 automatic pistol.

    The painting is artist signed and dated-- looks like an "11", but I suspect it is actually a "17".

    The painting is in an original era paint grained frame with some recent reinforcing brackets on the back.

    Any information on the artist is appreciated.

      Scott,
      This thread is from 6 years ago but thought I'd try posting anyway. I appear to now have this painting in my possession. I bought it from an antique shop in Madison WI. It's been wrapped around a frame so is smaller than your pictures show and is also pretty dirty. The brush marks appear the same so I am pretty sure it's the same painting.
      Did you ever find out about the artist? The signature is now folded over I think so I can't see it.
      Thanks for any info you can provide!!

      Scott, if you search your title, large ww1 patriotic, you'll find it. Unfortunately this site isn't super user friendly and no way to direct message you or paste pics to this reply

      I hope this helps!:^)

      Not a poster-- mine and linked one appear to both be oil on canvas in correct period frames.

      this is really surprising to me to find multiple nearly identical original oil paintings out there. Obviously a single artist. I wonder why they were done? They're too similar in my opinion to be studies for an ultimate piece. It seems like the artist was literally trying to make duplicates. Maybe commissioned by an organization?
    18. scottvez scottvez, 5 years ago
      I don't know about the "enhanced print" assessment. I have heard of the process but thought it was a late 20th century creation. The Giclee print is what I am familiar with.

      I guess the artist could have produced a lightly printed canvas that he painted over?

      The art is not that complicated-- I'd be more inclined to think that the artist created several examples of a popular/ saleable motif.

      At any rate, I am comfortable that it is "of the era" however it was created.
