Jennifer's View: Mamie Eisenhower bangs

By Jennifer Carrasco

In the 80's I was working part time for an Augusta, Georgia design gallery. Part of my job was fielding questions about paintings. I have a pretty good eye, but when I was stumped I had a friend who was a professional art restorer who could give me an assessment .

 

Irises
The actual irises by Van Gogh.. or rather a poster of the painting.

 

Some questions were easy. For instance, a lady brought in a beat up poster of Van Gogh irises. She thought she had hit the jackpot with an actual Van Gogh. I tactfully disabused her of that opinion.
