Painting Illustration Jos Kraemer Veteran Military Patriotic Detroit MI
$ 350.00
Up for consideration is a fine Watercolor Painting or Illustration by listed
Detroit Artist Joseph L. Kraemer (1872-1938). Scene depicts an elder Gentleman probably a Veteran who upon leaving the ship with Civilians gazes back with hat off on heart full of honor. It really is quite well done...both in the technical sense and in a way conveying meaning and emotion. Other guests are safely tucked under the canopy while he brazenly stands tall and proud. It makes you wonder if there was some sort of ceremony before perhaps retirement of a final good bye. Kraemer probably has done quite a bit of work however most illustrators of that early time era have gone unnoticed as for the most part companies did so much work by hand and illustrations were simply filed away tossed out or given to the company that commissioned the work. It would be impossible to store all the art work... I have uncovered over 20 Kraemer illustrations in a portfolio from an old collector. Please keep an eye on my listing because I will be listing all of the work over the next few days. You may be pleasantly surprised at the quality of work and talent that has been hidden away for decades... Kraemer was part of the Scarab Club here in Detroit Michigan and served as it's president for a few years. Although not all that valuable compared to his contemporaries of National Fame such as Flagg, Christy or Wyeth he was a very gifted illustrator as his work will stand right up there with some of the greats of that time era. If u have any questions concerns or something to share please message me. Best Regards,JohnJohnnyCrystal Est. 1987
