Does anyone have any information about an artist who signed his oil paintings simply ARNDT. This is not Thomas Arndt, Ursula Arndt, or W. Leo Arndt. The Arndt in question painted alpine mountain scenes. One painting, in particular, is a snow scene depicting Germany's tallest mountain, the Zugspitz, at sunset. This Arndt is cited in the New York Public Library Artists Files on Microfiche. On microfiche is an ad for a similar Arndt painting in the May 1951 issue of PICTURE AND GIFT JOURNAL placed by an art gallery in La Porte, Indiana. The gallery is still in business but I have received no reply to my inquiry. I would much appreciate obtaining any clues as to the indentity of this Arndt. Thank you.

Paul Arndt is noted for landscape painting.

Here are some additional Arndt artists that could fit your time period.

I have a painting by Paul Wesley Arndt oil on canvas of a Mountain Landscape signed "Arndt 52" in the lower left corner. He is an artist trained in Europe & at the Art Institute of Chicago who also painted in the Woodstock Group of Hudson River Valley American Artists. His paintings go for $800.00 to $1,200.00 or so. See examples on-line at the Blue Hill Bay Gallery in Maine and the JD Pierce Gallery of Fine Art. Also, the Rago Arts and Auction Center. Use Control+F and Arndt to find his work.

I too have a oil painting of a mountain landscape with "Arndt '50 in the left hand corner. Was bought by my grandfather in the early 50s in Chicago. I assume it's the same artist you describe.

I also have Arndt paintings. They were purchased by my father in 1954 in Bakersfield, Ca. They measure 9 1/2" by 7 1/4" and are mountain scenes in what looks like Bavaria or Switzerland. Two of the paintings feature a chalet. They are signed in the lower left corner "Arndt" and dated "50."

I have recently inherited an ARNDT oil on canvas painting. The painting is quite large and is framed in an elaborate gold frame. On the back of the canvas is a bit of information regarding the painter: The painter is Francis Arndt from Austria. The painting I have was purchased in the early 1950's. Is is a chateau on a beautiful mountainside. The artist signed his last name in capital letters in the lower left corner. I am having difficulty finding information about him.

My parents were close with Paul Arndt when he was in his '70's and they were newly married... they speak of him with such love and sweetness in their voices. I would love love love to purchase some of his artwork for them- it would mean the world to them!

Would anyone be willing to help me with this search??? I appreciate any ideas as well as the time and consideration spent! My e-mail address is courtneywcrocker@yahoo.com.

Thanks again, truly!

I have one of these paintings also. Grandfather purchased it in the 40's

The link below is the only info I have been able to find.

I do not believe is is Paul Arndt. The works do not have simular styles.

The painting at the european link is by Paul Wesley Arndt. The signature is the same as the Alpine scene that I have signed Arndt 51. In fact, I believe that the site has it wrong and looks like Arndt 47---not 41.

Mark,

Just like the other fellows mentioned, I have a painting signed "S - ARNDT" and then the year "70" right below it. I bought it from a lady a few years back, and she said that her husband received it in Florida a long time ago. The painting is of a mountain scenery with a river flowing, and a buck fairly centered. The theme is very similar to the Canadian painter Roger Arndt, however 1970 was the year that Roger Arndt released his first painting ... I doubt it is the same Arndt in question. I would be more than glad to exchange pictures with anybody that poses a painting with this signature, especially since they seem to have a common theme. My e-mail address is gencia_adrian@yahoo.com

Thank you!

Heard of Paul Wesley however can not finid his paintings in any established space such as a Museum. Is he actually a noted artist? or a passing name. Where are his paintings presented what Museum?

I have one of his originals - dated in the 50's. He was known as part of the Woodstock school.

Hello - I have been reading some of the postings and thought i might add some info. I have two paintings by the artist and they are both of a mountain scene - one large of just the mountain landscape - one of the mountain with a chalet. My paintings too are signed with just the name ARNDT. I have found out that it is possibly an artist by the name of OSWALD ARNDT who was from Vienna Austria and painted such scenes. He was known to paint scenes of the Tyrolean Alps. Hope this may help.

I met Paul and his wife when they were staying at the Wellington Hotel in Albany, NY in the late 1950's. They invited me to their home in the Catskills and he painted a portrait of me wearing a red princess style dress. I don't recall seeing the finished work. I would like to get a print of that painting.

Would it be possible for you to post a picture of the Arndt signature in your painting as well as one of the painting itself? Your suggestion of a Francis Arndt is most intriguing. In the three years since my initial inquiry about the Arndt who did my painting, there seems to be only one other viable possibility, namely Oswald Arndt. But the similarity is not clear cut. I have found no other mention of a Francis Arndt in this regard. I hope you can provide another clue to this puzzle. Thank you.

Arndt signed his name several ways.
Paul Wesley
Paul Wesley Arndt
Paul Arndt, and just Arndt.
I have large oil of his also from 1912. "Boatsman of the Catskills"
He is also known for painting murals in several steamships.
