M.Moudio, i have 2 paintings with this signature on an have been unable to track down an artist by this name!?

Question

i have two very vibrant colourful paintings (they could be oil) that i have no knowledge about. 1 has a a kind of island setting with black characters climbing palm trees and the other is a black boy fishing on a boat. They belonged to my grandmother who has passed, therefore leaving me unable to ask wher they came from.

Answer 1

I looked everywhere possible on the net but in vain. Your artist must be an acquaintance of your grandmother from Al-Cameroon or the Ivory Coast who was anonymous as a painter. If I were you, I 'd check with my grandmother's relatives or friends who are still alive.

Answer 2

Try entering the location/subject matter/name in a site like Absolute Arts or World Wide Art Resource.

They have data bases of current artists and some dead people, too. You might come across a dealer who handles the estate of that artist if they are dead, and that dealer could probably help you. The dealers and galleries will come up on those sites if they have listed that artist name in their websites. Good luck!
