Information
about Ship Portraits / Marine Art
|
written by Karsten Buchholz, author of the reference book "Ship Portrait Artists":
|
Artist:
|
Adam, Edmond (French, 1880-ca. 1940) - Oilpaintings on canvas (rarely also on board) |
|
Place:
|
Worked and lived in Le Havre, Northern France. |
|
Motifs:
|
Ship Portraits, Marine Scenes, sometimes with local background |
|
Prices:
|
Prices for typical Ship Portraits by him are starting at around one Ounce of Gold (why we mention Gold as a Measure of Value). Marine Paintings by him are also offered at lower amounts. Prices depend on subject, size, date, quality and condition. Also the subject is important, a desirable, large French or American Sailing Ship would command another price than a late (eg. 1930s) Merchant Steamer from Great Britain. |
|
Notes:
|
The younger son of Edourd Adam (and brother of Victor Edouard A.) - see these pages also for images - who continued the tradition and style of his father. Many of his works depict Steamers around the turn of the century and at the beginning of the 20th century. Unsigned works (and in fact not all the works of the Adam family are signed) might be confused with those by his father or his older brother.

Selling Info:
|
In most cases paintings by this artist would be offered locally mainly
(within the country where they are located). An export to another country
would in most cases make not much sense. The best chances for a sale are
usually in France.

Comments by Readers:

A collector from France: "I would consider that the artwork by Edmond Adam has the weakest quality among the Adam family artists. It was also bad luck for him that the hot period of Ship Portrait Paintings - the 19th Century - had passed when he was just 20 years old. After the first World War there was not anymore much demand for this kind of art. Anyway, his paintings are not bad and of historical interest of course." |
