Just in case anyone was wondering about some of the artwork/posters/paintings in the trio's apartment...
Here are my findings:
-Alphonse Mucha's "Feather" to the left of front door
-Mucha's "Spring" by kitchen door in first couple seasons, also above Chrissy's bed in first few seasons
-Mucha's "Autumn" by kitchen door in 4th season
-Mucha's "Zodiac" above telephone in first season. This was later replaced by the unknown blue painting (see below)
-Frank Xavier Leyendecker's "The Flapper" (1922)...also known as the "Life" poster on wall left of window
-Arpad Szenes "Akaba" on wall left of bathroom door
-Edward Hicks "Peaceable Kingdom" on wall left of bathroom door (the painting with animals)
-Jorn Beinkamp's "The Beatles" (1975, Copenhagen, Denmark) hanging over Jack's bed.
-"Wine Guide" poster/plaque on fridge season 2 forward: https://www.etsy.com/listing/189649443/vintage-wine-guide-large-wooden-wall
-"Cooking Terms" poster on fridge in Season 1 (looks like it was one in a series of cooking posters): https://www.etsy.com/listing/20034454/vintage-poster-cooking-terms
Some stuff I'm still looking for/curious about:
-Flowers in a vase painting to the right of front door---maybe a reprod of Monet? Cezanne? Van Gogh? Seems Impressionist
-The blue and white painting over the telephone for most of the series. It's of two (maybe three) women bending down to talk to a seated woman who is dressed in navy blue. I can't find anything on this one.
-The small folk-art painting of a snowy/winter street scene directly above the telephone (under the blue painting described above). Almost reminds me of Pieter Bruegel's (the elder) "Hunters in the Snow," but it's none of his.
Apparently the style of the '20s was very in vogue during the 1970s, hence all the art nouveau at the start of the series. When the show arrived in the 1980s, most of the Mucha artwork disappears. I'm wondering if the unknown paintings around the house were painted by hired hands to imitate Grandma Moses, Monet, etc. If anyone can add anything, please do!
