Robert Wood Paintings And Red Skelton Paintings

By Darren Hartley


Robert Wood paintings were works on the landscape of the United States. Robert Wood became known as an American painter, after working in the United States for almost 60 years, despite his being born in England. He presumably painted more art work on American landscape than any other artist in the history of American art.

Among the popularly reproduced works in the annals of art history are the Robert Wood paintings. Because collectors can easily obtain a copy of these works, there are questions that enter their minds. Is the copy they have on hand an original or a reproduction? If it is an original, when and where was it done? How does this copy compare to other Robert Wood paintings as far as quality is concerned?

Reproductions of Robert Wood paintings are printed on textured surfaces, purposely so to make it appear to be a painting for an amateurish eye. However, the texture being consistent throughout the image, does not follow the form as actual brush strokes do. The texture of these prints ranged from crow-foot to hen-scratch. The painting is printed on cardboard and not on canvas.

Red Skelton paintings are best known for their portrayal of smiling lovable clowns and world renowned characters, including Freddie the Freeloader, Clem Kodiddlehopper and Sheriff Deodeye. Red Skelton started his painting career at the early age of five, travelling with his mother throughout the Midwest for the Hagenbach and Wallace Circuses.

There are also still life and landscape works among Red Skelton paintings other than clowns and world famous characters. After drawing inspiration from a Chicago department store, Red began painting in 1943, keeping his work to himself. It was only in 1964 when he was persuaded to do a public exhibition of his work in Las Vegas.

Red Skelton paintings are sound investments in art as they are recognized as collector's delights. The value of these artworks has been proven alongside other contemporary artists with a worth that is limitless. They are intensely moving creations that earned for Red, the Footprints in the Sands of Time award, one of the highest honors an artist can receive.
