Diana Nooten / Marcel Notebaert / Daniël Onukpa

This dutch woman painter really made a variety of work.

It is allways moving and smashing around and therefore
it has the elements of this time.
A remarkable paintress for me!

Marcel Notebaert

A strange move within the Belgium art world that

in fact excels in diversity. Marcel Notebaert is presented

here with a strong watercolor that is part of his

work in the fantastic and surrealistic world.

A detail is presented here that is betraying his great

skills and without being just a refined copyist he is

able to tell us a story as well!

Notebaert or Notebart simply signed his work with "Noteb"

as this work and others show. A comic feature here is that

the dog welcomes the new visitors as there are only his

traces that lead towards the figures in the foreground.

The visitors still have to check in!

Daniël Quartay Onukpa

These works have accurateness as well as power

once you are standing ion front of them. They were

made on a cheap kind of cotton on a non adjustable

frame. I placed them on a wooden panel that I

thickened at the edges so they are able to last for

a longer time.

This second work was offered at the same auction and

my daughter was blown away by these works. That's 

why we decided the give them both as a present for

her birthday.

Much can be told about the symbols in these works

but we haven't been able to find more information

about this unknown painter. 

The back of this cotton has been copied and placed on the back 

of both panels. There is no need for future owners to explore

these works once again.

This belgium based artist has been described as one of the

more promising young artists however acceptance by the

public never took place. For those who are willing to

let themselves move by her subtle approach there is

a lot to win. Work on paper: Crayon. Dimensions 40 / 60 cm

Antoine van de Pas (1941 -

Marcel Plancke / André POFFÉ (1911-1990) / Peter Prins / Jean Claude Reynal / Thomas Roman

This very intriguing threedimensional work is in fact

oil on canvas. How the artist did this still remains a secret.

A modern work that remains a one of a kind in

the art world. I've never seen anything like this.

Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 100 / 100 cm.

Andre Poffe (1911 - 1990)

This painting has been done by Andre Poffe, a painter

from Brussels (Belgium) were he worked a lot in and

around that city.  Here he has a little bit a kind of sur-

realistic apprach and this painting has been done with 

great skills. Oil on canvas. Dimensions 70 / 100 cm.

Some details that deserve attention. This one 

has been done in the neighbourhood of Leefdael.

And another nice shot of the water.

A third detail with a strange kind of buidling on the right.

The signature which always is: "Poffe".

Peter Prins

Working in crayon this dutch based artist conquers

the world! His works can be found everywhere.

And indeed. It is always challenging!

Work on paper. Dimensions: 25 / 30 cm.

As his signature states. Peter made this work in 1990.

When you are interested you can visit his website to

see more of his works.

Jean Claude Reyna

Jean Claude Reynal ment a lot for the French artworld during his

short life. He worked in various ways and not only abstract. By

doing so, he gave birth to a new generation of  Graphic designers

and in France there still exists the Jean Claude Reynal prize.

Work on paper. Dimensions: 25 / 35 cm.

And of course for those who are investigating their

artwork a picture of his signature.

Thomas Roman

"Free Love" is the title of this work.

Though there is a lot to be seen the overall composition

is still there. His positive way of drawing gives it it's power.

Work on paper. Dimensions: 40 - 50 cm.

This one is called Troje. An artist that made all

kinds of artwork but allways recognizable.

Work on paper. Dimensions: 40 / 60 cm.

And at last we were able to obtain a genuine oil on canvas 

by this artist. It has everything to do with Greec myths.

Oil on canvas: Dimensions: 40 / 50 cm.

H. Ramaker / Alain Raya Sorkine / Anita Rosquir

H. Ramaker

Alain Raya Sorkine (1936)

Alain Raya Sorkine was a french born artist that

signed his works with his mothers' name. The subject

he choses often are musicians and mostly are jewish.

The colours however are mostly much brighter and

more joyful. Wether if this is an original work we

still have to investigate but there are some "darker'  

works around 1969. Above the signature some

Israelic prefixes can be seen. We still have to investigate

what the exact meaning is. Work on paper.

Dimensions 30 / 40 cm.

On the official Raya Sorkine website there is a letter written by

the artist and the signature at the end has some resemblance.

And after E-mailing this 77 years old artist he allmost immediately

stated it to be one of his earlier works. That was good news!

Anita Rosquir

A joyful picture with beautiful colours.

Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 50 / 80 cm.

Samuel Saghatelian / Arie Sartani / Johnny Schuddeboom

Samuel Saghatelian ( 1961 -  

A nice and intriguing work by the Armenian artist

Samuel Saghatelian who is living and working in

the USA. Most of his works are mixed media, some-

times on paper and sometimes on canvas as is the

case here. Dimensions: 80 / 80 cm.

By studying some details of this work the use of pieces

of paper and even wood dust (above)  can be discovered.

The surrealistic influence in most of his works is present

here though he seems to return to a more realistic

approach. This artist was an architect at first.

And again layers of paper on this work. It is obvious that

Saghatelian did put a lot of work in this painting and did

this with a meaning. Alas, we weren't able to discover what

exactly was written on the back...

A bit hard to see but that has everything to do with the intense 

color blue Saghatelian uses here. Written in red and hardly

detectable something written in black underneath the signature.

For those who want to investigate more. Presented here is the 

text on the back. The Schlepper firm was responsible for the

encadrement of this painting: Very professionally done.

  

Arie Sartani ( 1920 -

At first we were unknown about this work being an

original work by Arie Sartani. However googling on his 

name proved this to be another work from his hand though

signed in a different way. Concerning the fact that this

is yiddish art another way of signing can be expected.

This has been signed in hebrew. Work on canvas. 

Dimensions: 73,5  / 92,5 cm.

As has been told already this work has been signed in

hebrew opposite to the works he made from Jeruzalem.

Reason for this move could be that he made the Jeruzalem

paintings for the international (and touristic) market.

Johnny Schuddeboom

This painter often worked in an expressionistic style

later in his life. However quality wasn't always there.

Sometimes things are coming "together" in a rather

small work as is the case here to our believe.

Some nice details and thway he worked with pallet 

knife is obvious and by using different colours on

it you never know exactly how things will come out.

His signature that is hardly readable if you

do not know what has to be there! Work on

board. Dimensions: 23 / 40 cm.

Kurt Schwitters / Andre Servais / Pinchas Shaar

Kurt Schwitters

This international renownde artist could have been the creator

of this mixed media piece for which he became famous but to

be honest we do not know for sure.

To us the work itself seems to be more convincing than the 

signature placed underneath it. A remark has to be made 

as this work has been shortened on two sides what proba-

bly caused the disappearance of the original signature.

Andre Servais

Several belgium based painters were periodically 

involved in the surrealistic style of which Paul 

Delvaux and René Margritte are so well known. 

André Servais, who is a gifted artist, is not widely 

known as a surrealistic painter but in this work he 

really succeeded in creating a strange atmosphere:
What has happened? Is the café still open?
Oil on canvas: Dimensions 70 / 100 cm.

The subtle colour approach can be studied here.

You are able to click on the picture to enlarge it.

And the different colors blue are playing an important

role in this work on canvas. Stil in remarkable condition!

And the city in the back of which only the contours

are present but it is there.

Pinchas Shaar

Being a guitarplayer myself I really had to

obtain this work. Typical for his style.

Mixed media. Dimensions: 30 - 40 cm.

Allways joyful in a direct recognizable way this

accordeonplayer is another work by this israelian

artist. It is not surprising that his work keeps

popping up in Belgium as he stayed there for

quite a while in his career and had several

expositions. Work on paper: Mixed techniques.

Dimensions 30 / 40 cm.

It is always stunning to ee how Shaar manages to

integrate the sticked pieces of paper he uses in his 

work. This is a very good example of it. And we

think he made these kind of works a lot in the 

period 1968 / 1969. Work on paper. Mixed

techniques. Dimensions: 30 / 40 cm.

And finally we were able to obtain an oil on canvas work.

Again a guitar player in beautiful colors. One of his better

works and a keeper anyway. Oil on canvas. Dimensions:

30 / 40 cm.

As the signature already attests, this work is also from 1968.

We think he was into musicians at that time!
