COFFEE BLACK- I have been collecting art for 10 years now as a hobby ! I like the time period of 1900 through 1935 . I have collected about 100 framed antique framed prints from that period which hang on my wife and my walls. Various subjects - mountain sceneries, wildlife, bears, deer, moonlight and sunset prints, flapper women from the 1920's , indian maiden prints, hunting and fishing prints, garden prints , things like that.
My favorite artist is R. Atkinson Fox , and I have about 50 of his works. Maxfield Parrish I like as well, although much more expensive, I have 5 of his. Other calendar artists I enjoy from that time period are : W.M. Thompson, Rolf Armstrong, Adelaide Hiebel, Zula Kenyon, Phillip Goodwin, Frank Stick, Thomas Moran, Charles Russell ( not the Bible student ) , Mabel Rollins Harris, Bessie Pease Gutmann , L. Goddard, Hy Hintermeister , lots of others, but those are the main ones I have purchased before ! It is a wonderful hobby, and I buy off the internet as well . I have lots of the price guide books so I know how much the various prints are worth in today's market.
So, I am careful to not get duped into buying reproductions though, as there are unscrupulous sellers on E-bay . I just buy authentic , older prints. I get good deals - usually purchase prints at 10% to 30 % of what they are worth. It's how I've been able to collect a lot of them. Collecting art is great ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
