Posted By: Stephen Harris Mon, Feb 01, 2021 Thank you, I. Nagy! You are most helpful as always. Because I came into many pieces of Asian Art, I am trying to learn as much as I can. When You say, "unidentifiable artist", does that mean there is no signature, or does it mean an artist unknown to books that list artists? Is the seal always an artist's name? Thank you very much!

Posted By: Stephen Harris Tue, Feb 02, 2021 Wow! That's a LOT of information! Thank you very much I. Nagy. You are so helpful. I have used Gotheborg.com for porcelain marks, which has been helpful. When I can't find an answer there, I bring it to your forum, which is the best resource. For paintings and other artwork is there a similar website that identifies artists? I hate to bother you if I can do my own research. |

Posted By: I.Nagy Wed, Feb 03, 2021 For paintings and other artwork the story is entirely different. First we have to read the signatures seals,colophons, titles etc. which requires the knowledge of the target language (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) with reading practice in regular, clerical, cursive and seal scripts. |
