Lars Hawkes Northwest coastal artist? Mid Century Modern California Norway

 

20170612_185622.jpgHave seen his signature with a copyright symbol but says Lars HawkesHave seen his signature with a copyright symbol but says Lars Hawkes20170612_185646.jpg

If anyone has any information on this piece, please help. I have seen the signature a multitude of ways. It is an acrylic on canvas. Serigraph? lars1.pnglars.png

 

 

Is this early works? Or later?

ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

 

I cannot deliniate if artist is American born 1964 - Or Norwegian born?

 

I'm having more difficulties than this might be worth. But I'm vested in my time now, so I must try to find out info.

 

No markings on back of piece, but professionally framed.

posting here is like getting more questions in return.

".....why do you think it is this or that?..."...

 

 


That is a surprising remark from someone who has so often come to this board for help, and so often received it. 

 

As for the "why do you think it is this or that," why not use the Socratic method?  It works.  Because it's very useful in identifying / verifying works of art, it's a common exercise in the course-work of many, if not most, art programs.

 

 


my remark is based on some of the replies the OP got.

clearly the OP has done her homework and is posting here in her attempt to sort out her findings.

this is why i don't understand some of the first replies the OP got.

and you know it is all about perception.

the socratic method?

i have read on many threads how the socratic method goes.

but anyway, have better things to do.

this was not about me, how you make it sound.

i was just commenting on the few first replies the OP got.

she did her homework.

and i do see a Northwest influence/flair in the pictures of the art work she posted.

SHe did her homework, and was still confused for good reason.  All information is not easily deciphered, and clarity was not forthcoming.  We enjoy the process of the hunt.  You're basically being a jerk.

Thank you. I appreciate your ideas. I, too, believe that they are very similar to what I am finding in my own research. I think I will contact some of the galleries in Seattle, like you suggested. It surely doesn't hurt to ask.

I can't thank you all enough for your input and help! This is the first time I've ever posted anything and I really just want to say how much I appreciate all of everyone's expertise.

Again, thank you all. My head hurts too. I will report back as I gather more information. I can't believe how helpful you all have been. I truly appreciate it.

I hope you will report back to us.  It's a puzzler and, like you and others here, the more I looked for answers the more I confused myself.      Smiley Happy

and i totally agree with that.

i was actually supporting the OP.

perhaps you should re-read my replies.

 

i was merely questioning the first reply the OP received.

but i assume you can read as well as i can...

 

can't believe you are calling me names.

can't believe the MODs didn't pick up on that.

once a mod called me out because it told one to back off...

 

all i did was supporting the OP...

please read my replies...

 

i might be a J...

i am sure we all i have been in life at 1 point or another.

but i am not a  rude person as you are...

I apologize @lemarcheaupuces   

You are correct, I should not have said that!

I'm an upside_down idiot sometimes, and I did read your comment incorrectly.  

 

Please forgive me for my faux pas. I'm really sorry.

We have a Lars Hawkes Seriograph as well, and it has this info attached. It at least answers the "American or Norwegian" question...
