ART MYSTERY
It's no secret I dig art; my first YA and MG both focused on art themes. When I head out on buying trips with my brother, a full-time antiques dealer, I also find myself gravitating toward art buys. I'm not-so-secretly convinced that one of these days, I'll snatch up a masterpiece for $5. Actually, last winter, I was certain I'd bought a William S. Burroughs original (not one of his shotgun paintings, but a small mixed-media piece), but it turned out that the signature wasn't quite right.
Last weekend, I snatched these guys up. They're glazed ceramic wall hangings, all signed similarly (what appears to be "Sh 2002"). I completely dig their expressions. Anybody know anything about the artist or these objects?

ReplyDeleteWhat a neat buy! Being that they came in a set of three, my mind references the Furies or Cerberus. Maybe I'm overreaching though. In addition to art, I also like mythology.
Oooh. I never considered they were characters! (I had it in my head they were creatures made up by the artist.) What a cool thought...
