Lewis Vandercar (Van Dercar) Oil on Canvas dated '63', Magus Supreme Warlock Seller :giles22 (2110 ) “The canvas is in very nice shape. there is one small area in the black paint that appears to have ” Price:US $500.00 Original Oil on Canvas Painting Artist: Lewis VanDercar (Van Dercar) (1913-1989) Title: N/A Signed: Yes, signed "VAN" in lower left. VanDercar signed on verso of canvas, with 63 (likely the date) and illegible writing. Size: In View is 15" wide x just under 24" high, Frame is approximately 22" Wide x 31" high This is a very intersting abstract painting by Miami/Zypher Hills., FL artist Lewis VanDercar. The painting is a dark scene with a couple of figures in the forefront, one appears to be seated, one standing, with a tree looming in the front left of the scene. The sun or moon appears to be peaking through in the upper right quadrant, and there is either water, or possibly some type of hole in the ground behind the standing figure. The paint has a heavy texture, and it is a very attractive piece of art. The canvas is in very good shape, with no noticed damage or repairs. There is one small chip in the heavy black paint, please see photo 5, in which I circled the chip in yellow. The signature on the front says only VAN. It is possible that the rest of the signature is hidden behind the frame, or just wasn't signed. The back of the canvas has the typical VanDercar script signature in marker, along with what I believe to be a date, 63. The frame is made of wood, and painted green. It has a number of dings and chips in the paint which could be filled and repainted.
