I recently purchased a painting it is signed R. Schneider in the corner. It is a pretty landscape. It is painted on a board it looks like. Does anyone know who this might be or any other information that might be helpful.

I am also looking for info on this artist. I have two very nice paintings of the same barn - one in winter and one in spring. Very fine, detailed work. Also looks like it was painted on a thin masonite type board. Would appreciate any info.

I also have recently purchased several paintings signed by R Schneider, and I am interested in finding out something about the artist. I believe that these paintings were done mayber 30-40 years ago, but that is speculation.

I think I know who you are talking about and what paintings you are talking about. If you get this respond and we can try and get ahold of one another. This goes for those postings above as well.

I found out more info in the last few days and will post if anyone is still interested. Otherwise, good luck. :)

I do not know what I am doing exactly---can you send me any info that you have on R Schneider [email protected] Thanks

Did anyone find anything about R. Schneider? I also have some paintings of his done in the 1950's. There is a R. Schneider artist who sells in his gallery but it is not the same person. Any inof would be helpful. Thanks, Martin

I have just purchased a painting signed P.Schneider, Winter Wonderland. Any Info? [email protected]

Your paintins on masonite signed R. Schneider are from near and on Hahn Air Base, in the Hunsuruck area of Germany. He was consigned by buyers to creat a series of paintings, usually in sets of four, depicting the same scene in the four seasons. I know that the Hahn Officer's Wives Club would periodically engage him for a fund raising event where clients would sit with him personally and request paintings be done exactly to their hearts desire. My wife and I wanted different scenes in the four seasons to which he was excited to produce. We own a set of four: (Fall) Frankenstein's Castle, (Winter) Oberamergau, Bavaria, (Spring) German Alps, (Summer) Brooke in Idar Oberstein. Our concern was why on a board and not on canvas? His personal answer was, "You will ship it back to your homes in the States. The canvas is nice but it tends to be damaged. The boards are better in moving". With that answer we consigned four beautiful paintings and have had them up in every house since we got them in 1982. Which, by the way, was the second best year for white wine in Europe after 1976! Enjoy.

Thanks so much for the information! I bought my paintings at a moving sale and the seller was selling them for a neighbor and only knew that they had come from Germany. Do you have any idea of the value of Schneider's paintings?

I have some of his art I have not found anything on him of how much it is worth

Hello fellow art lovers. While I was stationed at Bitburg Air Base from 1970 to 1974 I sold many paintings by R Scheider all of which was painted on micah board and he usually only painted scenes in the Eifel Mountain area of Germany. I believe he lived in a small village very close to Hahn Air Force Base. At one time I had 30 to 35 of his paintings. I never met Mr. Schneider but the art distributor I got my paintings from told me a story about an art gallery in New York that specialized in his work and sold his paintings for $500.00 each with out a frame, this was mid 1971. At the time I sold his paintings the going rate was $60.00 to $75.00 a couple of his paintings brought $100.00, but almost all of my customers were GIs stationed at Bitburg, Spandahlem,and Hahn Air Base and the surrounding army batterys. About 60% of his work was winter scenes.
As far as I know Mr. Schneider painted from the late 50's or early 60's until the early or mid 80's

My parents have 4 landscape paintings as well. We love them and are wondering what they are worth. Should we insure them? Since they are on board they have remained in great condition-they bought them over 40 years ago.

The artist maybe Rudy Schneider. He was popular with military assigned in the Rhein Main AFB area. My parents have 15-20 of his paintings hanging in their house.

He did paint requests for my parents, one includes an Antebellum home in Natchez MS. One was a variation of wild mustangs on a hill that he did often.

I also got my painting in german in 1969 ,but that is all I know.Would like to fine out more about him & also would like to know the value of it

I too just purchased a painting called Winter Wonderland by P. Schneider. I paid $8.00 for it at a flea market. I was curious if you ever found out any info on the artist.

Hi, I think I have his painting dated 1980 eith the title Embryo III. Do you know how worth it is?

Hello, we have an oil painting on the thin masonite type board signed R. Schneider. You seem to know a lot about this artist. Is there any more information we can find out about worth of this painting?
Thank you for your help

Just adding to the conversation. My parents had purchased a painting by R. Schneider back in 1972, while stationed at Hahn AB, Germany. The back of the picture, which happens to be a still-life (bowl with fruit, wine glass and flask). The cost then was 65 DM ($16.25, 4 DM to the dollar then). Would like to get it appraised for insurance purposes any suggestions on who we could contact?
