Hello there I have owned this painting for approximately 15 years I had it appraised in 2014 this is an original Max Altekruse, he is very well known he has worked in his lifetime for such companies as Ford Goodyear and many many others he was an illustrator a cartoonist and a well-known painter he's had numerous pieces published he is also done illustration on covers of books and many other pieces he is also known for some of his work that he has done on collectible plates and other items it is hard to find original pieces from him as you will see you can find Prince and you can find some lithos which are numbered but to find actual original paintings is quite difficult I was approached by the fort Wayne museum of art when I reached out to them about some information on the piece before I had it appraised and they wanted to put it on display there is a few websites where you can buy some of his prints he has no longer alive I believe he died in 2015 so once again this is an original it measures approximately 29 and 3/4 tall by 16 inches wide it is oil on board no frame as you can see I do have the COA and the appraisal that will also come with it which was appraised by Betty fishman from the Indiana artist appraisers guild in fort Wayne Indiana definitely a nice piece it is titled "SILO" I HAVE HAD IT AND NOW IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO ENJOY IT.
