Ya Wanna Come Up and See My Etchings? Whose it by? (Semi-Naked Woman Warning)

[curbdiggercarl57]

Hit a garage sale while waiting to get my hair cut, picked this up for $20.
Curious if anyone knows who it's by, or how I can try and track down any info.
Either way, it's going on the wall.

I like this!

Is that from the CUBIST era?

It was bought where the other pieces tended to be from the 1960's. Thinking it may have been a friend of the person who owned it, but it was a estate sale, so the owners were no longer around. Bought a nice pair of woman's crocodile cowgirl boots as well, they will go to a waitress at the bar. (Tiny, size 38 Italian). I can't make out the signature, I'll see an "A", then a "N". Still searching.

Is it 'A Wallburn', or something like that?

Is it 'A Wallburn', or something like that?

Every time I look at the signature, I see something different. Driving me nuts. Thanks for the replies,

The first letter definitely looks like an "H" to me.
Second and third letters possibly "U" and "A." Then possibly a couple of "L"s later on.

This is what I do with signatures and I've gotten some from this method.

I try to copy the signature. While I do this, over and over if necessary, I try to figure out what the person was trying to write. Solved a photo collection problem with this, and hit some important history simply by reinterpreting one initial.

Is that ink on paper. A litho? Etching. Might help your 'net search.

Another trick, if you have picasa which I recommend. It's free. Use the "sharpen feature." Also try adding a yellow tint. Either of these might help you see it better.

Comes real close to this artist's work. Mine does not have a signature.

Those are excellent ideas, I'll try them tonight. I have Photoshop, never thought of using the "tint".

if this were a Matisse you could have 100 of the nicest metal detectors you could want.
