When I was in the gallery, there were always customers looking for signatures when choosing paintings. It seemed that a signed painting was a good painting, and a painting without a signature was not a good painting. In fact, this is really a ridiculous misunderstanding. One. Oil painting is different from Chinese painting. There is no fixed format for blindly pursuing signatures. I think everyone is influenced by Chinese painting. In Chinese painting, signature and seal are very important parts in picture composition and layout, which can be said to be indispensable contents in Chinese painting. No matter how unknown the painter is and how tasteless the painting is, a Chinese painting must be signed. However, oil painting is different. Oil painting is a kind of painting from the west. As far as the characteristics of oil painting are concerned, the signature and date are only a record of the painter, and they are informational annotations, which will not become the content of the picture. The signature can be placed in the lower left or lower right shadow, which cannot affect the overall effect of the picture. Some painters are willing to put their signatures in conspicuous places, while others, especially those who paint still lives, paint their signatures on utensils. Therefore, there is no fixed pattern of oil painting signature, which depends entirely on the painter's habits. Signed artist's work 70X 180CM II. Signature is not a standard signature to measure the quality of an oil painting, but more important for collecting oil paintings. It can provide the source of the painting at a glance, and the information of the painter is easy to find, so its collection value is easy to show. But unsigned paintings are often the focus of oil painting collectors Taobao. The early works of some famous painters are often anonymous. The value of paintings is judged entirely by eyesight. A good painter has his own painting language, color, style and brush strokes. Even without signatures, they are distinctive and irreplaceable. This is the charm of painting. Signature is of little practical significance for decorative oil painting. Decorative oil painting is good enough, but it doesn't matter who painted it. Most of these paintings are made by artists, and their signatures are just gimmicks, not their real names. Ordinary consumers can't find the actual author of the paintings, so the author's information value for this painting no longer exists. This is the reason why decorative oil paintings can't have room for appreciation of collection value. Three signatures are valuable only if the name matches the picture. Even if the painter is not famous, this painting is an original of Chen Shiqi. Information can be found on the Internet. You'd better find a signed oil painting in a trusted gallery. And the name of this painter can be found online. The painter's style is consistent with the oil painting you want to buy. As for whether the painter can be famous or not, it is hard to predict whether your painting can appreciate, but your painting is genuine. Such paintings can not only be collected, but also decorated.
