Description
Up for consideration is a fine Watercolor Painting or Illustration by listed Detroit Artist Joseph L. Kraemer (1872-1938). The scene depicts a couple of Pilgrims with Turkey in hand proudly showing their catch to those awaiting in the cabin. It really is well done & successfully provides a world of information including sentiment mood as they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Kraemer probably has done quite a bit of work however most illustrators of that early time era have gone unnoticed as for the most part companies did so much work by hand & illustrations were simply filed away tossed out or given to the company that commissioned the work. It would be impossible to store all the art work... I have uncovered over 20 Kraemer illustrations in a portfolio from an old collector. Please keep an eye on my listing because I will be listing all of the work over the next few days. You may be pleasantly surprised at the quality of work & talent that has been hidden away for decades... Kraemer was part of the Scarab Club here in Detroit Michigan & served as it's president for a few years. Although not all that valuable compared to his contemporaries of National Fame such as Flagg, Christy or Wyeth he was a very gifted illustrator as his work will stand right up there with some of the greats of that time era. If u have any questions concerns or something to share please message me. Best Regards, John JohnnyCrystal Est. 1987 Painting Illustration J Kraemer Pilgrim Thanksgiving American Pioneer 18 X21.5
