About Paul Herman Expertise I can answer many questions about art theory & history though my knowledge in certain areas of history go deeper than others. I can also confidently offer answers about technique & materials in most fine art methods except copper engraving where I am still learning.
Experience Being a second generation painter forms the greatest part of my education, I grew up in my parent's studios & by 16 was a professional painter/sculptor.
Publications A few articles about art theory & being an artist on my blog if you are interested in seeing a sample of my writing: http://www.HermanStudios.com/blog.html
Education/Credentials 'A' levels in London (Kingsway & Princeton) & an unfinished degree (3 years) at NYUB (state university at Buffalo, NY)
Past/Present Clients Some are mentioned on my site, several are European nobility otherwise I guess the most 'quotable in a blurb sense' were Saks fifth avenue both in NYC (where though many including, Andy Warhol & Jasper Johns, have appeared in their windows I was the first commissioned artist in their history) & Beverly Hills.

Question HI I HAVE AN ORIGINAL PAINTING BY SOMONE NAMED BOUCHET DO YOU KNOW WHO THAT IS ?
ITS A OIL PAINTING OF FLOWERS IN A VASE ANS IT HAS A CERTIFICATE F AUTHENTICITY THAT READS ITS VALUED AT 65.00 WOULD IT BE WORTH MORE SINCE ITS OLD
Answer Unfortunately it is not a lost Boucher! It is, I'm sorry to inform you, worth less than its original 65.00 (in any currency) less even than its cheap frame. It is the sort of painting that may have been done at an assembly line in Mexico or Phillipines, if it were newer it might be Thailand or China.
