Can anyone identify artist of oil/acrylic impressionist painting (rain & umbrellas) 4ft x 5ft signed FERRANTE?

Artmaster Studios was a company that produced artwork for the furnishing trade. Ferrante was one of their artists but there is no information about him (it was possibly a pseudonym). He should not be confused with the Italian/Californian artist Mario de Ferrante.

Ferrante (Artmaster Studios) pictures appear on ebay at prices from $200 to $500. From; http://www.askart.com/AskART/artists/bulletin.aspx?Artist=115818 "Artmaster Studios produced many paintings signed Ferrante among others (not the same as De Ferrante). I recently saw a painting on an auction site signed Ferrante which the seller represented as Mario De Ferrante, but it was not his signature.

(Caveat Emptor is always the rule of eBay.) I do not know the history of Artmaster but I do know that both Artmaster and Vanguard Studios (which by the way was started in the 60’s by Lee Reynolds Burr) were both acquired by Interiors, Inc. Of NY. In the late 90’s Interiors, Inc.

Merged the Artmaster subsidiary into the Vanguard ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
