The Ingraham signature through the decades…..
- Before 1968. Heavy ink, capital letters and spaced apart. During this period, Deane’s signature was often all over the place. Sometimes at the bottom as in this detail of Louise on the Couch with the Blue Lamp, or running along a microphone stand, or hiding in the background.
- 1968 – 1970 The ink is thinner and still all caps.
- A self-portrait, 1970. This is the only painting that has the ‘g’ as lowercase. It is the first self-portrait where he sports a mustache.
4. The painting reeks 1960s! But I don’t really know. It is mixed media with bits of brown paper and foil (see the mirror?) There is no other artwork that has this signature. Girl on Bike was shown at an art sale NFS.
5. Hawk, 1970 This signature will last. Sometimes the ‘I’ is longer than the other letters, but the ‘G’ is definitely bigger. Most paintings are signed lower right. It is not usual to have a signature in red-violet.
6. Wendy, 1974 This is the way most paintings are signed.
