i have gotten great stuff. some amatuer good stuff too. i think i would have seen this as de kooning. i even found EXCEPTIONAL paintings. only studies, but the bibestein's are better that way. dirty w/ charcoal dust. even had xeroxes about him. died in 1930. swiss. moved to WI. i bought 8 or nine @ $1.50. sold 1. gifted another. cleaned them. OMG! BLUE! 2 framed. not perfect, but more impressionist. but the $5 smillie etching....knowledge is good. art school graduate w/ art + design history.
