A French (?) watercolor

Luca · May 10th, 2011, 11:07 AM

After this wonderful help of Saintmarc,
I have another French (?) watercolor from Paris, whose creator I cannot identify.
It messures appr. 45 to 65 cm and is on very thick paper.
I'm in a dead end with "Echeverry", but those “Etcheverries”, that I can find, don't come into question.
Any help, any suggestion, is highly appreciated.

If I'm wrong with “Etcheverries”,
what other suggestions could be made?
Thanks for every try.

You are not wrong but the name Etcheverry is difficult to work with. There are plenty of artists in south America, some with the same first name. I work on Diego Etcheverry,french born Casablanca 1933. The paintings that artnet shows are not by him but by Denis Etcheverry. The great problem comes from a book of art prices published some years ago in France which gave to this 19th/20th cent.artist the third name Diego without any reason for. None of the paintings I have seen on the net could be supposed by Diego Etcheverry (1933) and I was unable to find one that is really by this painter. I am searching for a book showing at least one of his work (the most often torn and glued white paper) but it is a rare book in a library I visit only three or four time a year. Be patient. I have a file Etcheverry now on my desk.

I found this painting by Susana Etcheverry (1937??).
Is it similar enough to think it could be the same artist?
Does anyone know her?
Thanks for every answer.

Congratulations! I think this is likely the same artist, but it's hard to be too confident based on this because the works are in different media, are signed in a different way, and frankly because they are highly abstract so who can really say?

Sorry but I don't think that your painting is by Susana Etcheverry, born Buenos Aires 1929. All the works I have seen by this artist are signed in the same manner Susana Etcheverry on two lines and bold letters, at least not like manuscript writing.

Thanks to both of you.
I'll be patient.
