1916 Original lost Antique Oil on Board, Signed Picasso. This 1916 dated and original signature Picasso is on the reverse, we turned it around in the frame, but originally someone named Jean Slotnick 1938, painted a painting on the back, we believe to hid this original Picasso from seizure by the Nazi Army in 1938. The board is consistent with 1916 canvas board. This is not the first flip around work we have found in this collection and further research indicates that the Whitings knew several Jewish families from Europe. We are Pioneer Heroes Museum, of Casa Grande, Arizona. We are liquidating one of the most unique collections of late 19th, early 20th century art that has ever been found, in our opinion. Contained in two large cases, or trunks, this collection is made up of some of the most interesting and artistically significant pieces of art that we believe has been found in recent times. Other pieces are going to us on consignment for sale, or shown in our Museum gallery. By doing so, we hope to raise funds for the supply of our publically supported museum for six months. Most of the paintings seem to be signed Picasso or Vincent. We are liquidating the George Bernard Washington Whiting, Floyd Franklin Smith collection of interwar art from France. For those of you that are not familiar with our gallery and this collection, we’ve been liquidating pieces from this collection for several months, there are several Picasso’s, and other famous artists in this collection, all of which was found in two trunks in the storage area of a northern Arizona home. The Whitings settled in northern Arizona after World War II. Floyd Franklin Smith and the Whitings traveled extensively to Europe, and collected art from famous artists, and some not so famous, and brought them home on the rail line to northern Arizona. This outstanding antique, all original oil on canvas board, dated 1916 Picasso, has very old varnish, cracking, and was clearly turned around in the 1938 era frame, to hid it. We have had several paintings from this collection be submitted to the Picasso Foundation. The item “1916 Original lost Antique Oil on Board, Signed Picasso” is in sale since Monday, October 7, 2019.
