John Bentz who was born in Columbus, OH but moved to the east coast, with his last listed address in Leonia, NJ. The books weren't clear on some of the information, but I think he died in 1950. He was both a painter and etcher, and pastoral scenes like this one were his forte. He was a pupil of Robert Blum, W. M. Chase, and Kenyon Cox.Ebay - LARGE PASTORAL LADSCAPE OIL PAINTING W FRAME JOHN BENTZ Item number: 3778184765 * Oil on Canvas, framed*Size: frame size: 32 1/2 in x 43 1/2 in (83 cm x 111 cm), Painting size: 24 in x 35 in (61 cm x 89 cm)* Very good condition, two small repairs on the back of the canvas as shown. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3778184765 YOU ARE BIDDING ON A LARGE PASTORAL LANDSCAPE OIL ON CANVAS FRAMED PAINTING BY JOHN BENTZ. |
