But there are many pieces of art by Neill that do not bear his signature - in fact, many of the Oz book drawings are not signed. He was prolific and produced a large amount of work for magazines, like this piece, and he wasn't very consistent about signing his work. Also, he used a variety of signatures over the years. Aside from all that, this piece practically screams Neill, from the style of pen work, the look of the humanized appliances and the central female figure. Even without signatures, his work is usually fairly easy to identify by his style.Bill Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258626254481978155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342561433004208609.post-7284107862159861332016-11-02T21:28:03.591-05:002016-11-02T21:28:03.591-05:00I'm very curious, (and I'm sure you know t...I'm very curious, (and I'm sure you know the answer to this.) How is it possible to tell that this drawing is by Neill if there's no signature? I'm sure there is a way, since I've seen many other artworks of his identified independent of a signature, but I'd be interested to know how that's done.partylike1912https://www.blogger.com/profile/09017475020487040147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342561433004208609.post-26919152855063190382016-08-04T14:36:08.003-05:002016-08-04T14:36:08.003-05:00There's also live furniture drawn by Neill in ...There's also live furniture drawn by Neill in THE ROYAL BOOK OF OZ.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342561433004208609.post-39206227435572806332016-07-31T22:15:25.519-05:002016-07-31T22:15:25.519-05:00That's right - with the flick of a switch it a...That's right - with the flick of a switch it all gets done!Bill Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258626254481978155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342561433004208609.post-3594287497779583442016-07-31T20:17:30.938-05:002016-07-31T20:17:30.938-05:00Now that's my dream kitchen!
