Im trying to find out what its value is all i know its a Lee Reynolds painting on Canvas. I looked up Lee Reynolds paintings but i have not seen this painting anywhere else. The corn on the painting is like 3D you can actually see it pop out a little. Im trying to see if this is an original or not and how much is its value.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ART. THIS PAINTING WAS HANDED DOWN TO ME MANY YEARS AGO.
Lee Reynolds is another FAB example of the 60s trend of art for the masses. Artist Lee Reynolds Burr founded Vanguard Studios in 1964. Like C. Jeré and
Vanguard Studios produced more painted canvases bearing one signature, Lee Reynolds, than any artist in history, but none of the artworks for sale were actually painted by Lee Reynolds Burr.
Artisan House, Vanguard Studios employed numerous artists to duplicate original paintings. Backgrounds were often done in acrylics and then line-work was silkscreened from the master copy. (This silkscreening technique was also used by Andy Warhol’s The Factory.) Details were then added to the screened lines to create a raised effect. The finished product was then sprayed with an oil sealer, thus creating an original oil painting. Paintings were signed Lee Reynolds. Vanguard Studios also used other signatures including Reynolds, Stuart and Van Gaard.
Interesting info there Dave.
So in other words its not an original and has no value?
It's a oil painting but Lee Reynolds never actually put his hands on it. Students, Starving Artist etc painted these by the Thousand. Value, it's what someone is willing to pay, I have had dozen or more Lee Reynolds paintings over the yrs, I pick them up for 5.00 and up, don't think I ever paid more than $20. for one.
