Not sure what to say?

Last year at a small country auction I got this wonderful piece of art - a tall narrow print/lithograph of birds in dark colors. It was disheveled with dirty glass and rough frame. But, I loved it and bought it. I finally reframed it and decided to find out whose bold signature is on the bottom. Now I know. Mr. Amen was truly talented and through my research i see he touched many lives. My sympathy to his family on his death.

To Your Memory and Legacy

I am sorry to just hear of Irving Amen death in November 2011. I have enjoyed his work "The Dancers" for many years in my Mothers dining room and for the last three years it has graced mine. I am also fortunate to have a couple of artist proofs from Mr Amen as well. Thank you Irving Amen......
Shalom to the Amen Family and may God be with you.

I just learned about the passing of Irving Amen, and I am truly saddened. His artwork has adorned my walls for years and my 11 year old daughter always tells me that she wants one of them when "she grows up and has her own place". Thank you Irving for everything. May you rest in peace.

Hello,
We are working on a motion picture and would like to use a piece of artwork by Irving Amen. I was wondering if someone could help me get this request to the corect people, his estate possibly. Thank you very much for your help.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of this great man and artist. I have loved Mr. Amen's work since the early 70's when I bought Duel in NYC, as a student. I carried this work with me in all my moves around the country. I am writing a paper about him for a relief printing class. I have created one of his works as an homage to a great artist. Rest In Peace and may there be plenty of wood to cut and ink to print in heaven. Best Regards, Nancy D'Agostino

I was so very saddened when learning of Irving Amen's passing. What a wonderful painter he was. I celebrated his work and it always amazed me that more attention wasn't paid to his unique style and composition. Always wished to make his acquaintance and learn about him, his life and his motivations.

The world has lost a most gifted artist... and to those who have known him and shared in his life how fortunate you are. I imagine he was a man of great depth and feeling. God bless...

I am saddened by the passing of Mr. Amen. I have long admired his creative works of art. My favorite "Wonderland # 3" which hangs in my family room and will long remain as a rememberance of his talented contribution to the world of art. Jo Anna Jarvis, Montclair N.J.

In memory of Irving Amen

The morning sunrise was crimson delight.
The artist etched a ship sailing away.
The sea sang sad songs of red skies at night.

Winds seemed to capture sails as kites in flight.
Standing and staring, and you would stay.
The morning sunrise was crimson delight.

Colors he chose were through genius eyes.
If you listened you could hear a sea wave.
The sea sang sad songs of red skies at night.
