Charles M. Capps, 1898-1981

Night Silence, 1934

“I’ve been clearing out my aunt’s garage, helping her sort out what she calls it “the treasures from the trash.” Most of the stuff appears to be just trash, but seeing how valuable art appears to be turning up in the news a lot, I thought I’d get you to look at this print. It doesn’t look all that old, and is quite small, measures about 5 inches x 9 inches. As you can see, it’s picture of one of those old Kansas-style farm houses, it has a title “Night Silence” and signature Charles M. Capps that looks like pencil below the picture.”
