The Downsizing Doula

The MCM Inspired Entry table looks like Teak, 54” x 30". Its in excellent condition but the sticker inside one of the drawers indicates it's newer. The painting is on canvas and signed by Henri Rogers. Imagine my hope this was going to be worth a fortune! But typically, his Paris Scenes Paintings sell from anywhere from $75 to $300 in online auctions. Why? He was an enigma. More info in link below, but I still think these two pieces together would make a hallway entrance pretty awesome! "Henry Rogers: Artist Who Wasn’t There Henry (or Henri) Rogers, as the Vox piece explains, is a bit of an enigma. His impressionist-style depictions of Paris seem to exist solely in online auctions, thrift stores, and the occasional yard sale these days. And the paintings are eerily similar — same city, same aesthetic, same trees, but different signatures. Sometimes it’s “Henry,” sometimes “Henri,” as if the artist himself couldn’t remember how to spell his own name. For years, the only person truly obsessed with this mystery was a man named Philip Lord, the curator of a quirky blog called living-in-the-past.com. Lord became consumed with uncovering the truth about Rogers. Was he a solitary painter capturing the streets of Paris, or something else entirely? Lord’s research led him to a surprising theory: Rogers might not have been a single artist at all, but a collective of painters. And they weren’t painting in Paris. They were in Mexico."
