Do you happen to recall the artist of these two?
Same Q from me also, really like those.
Thanks
Edit: Interestingly, and I have never noticed this before, they both have the same signature.
I've done a Reverse Image Search on both pics, but can't find any more info I'm afraid.

Sadly I don't know. Both are just cheap mass produced prints. The one on the left was bought in one of those pop up shops that sell everything (and most of it is cheap tat) and I'm pretty sure I bought the other in B&Q (yes, the DIY store. No, really). In both cases the artist is unknown.

Some cool pieces. I love the double smoke alarm installation, is it inspired by anything?

Hey CC, loving the Alphonse Mucha pics.
Thanks. I have a great love of the Art Nouveau movement, and Mucha is of course synonymous with it. Ace-T said:
We have a few Vettrianos too, the establishment scoffs, but I like his stuff. 
Yes, his work is rather disdainfully considered "art for the ignorant masses" but I tend to just like what I like. The Bluebird print on the stairwell is probably my favourite. I've seen framed prints for sale for hundreds of pounds, but I bought an unframed print direct from the Jack Vettriano website for £26 inc postage for a 70cm x 50cm print on 275gsm white silk paper, and then framed it myself with a thin black metal frame that I bought from an art shop, which I think works quite well.

Both the picture and signature are similar to Fabian Perez, but it won’t be him as even his prints go for a small fortune.
Oh! Thanks for the tip-off. I have just googled his work and some of them are lovely.

What say you?
Edit: Leonid passed away 19 August 2019
We have moved it after the arrival of the Simon Whitfield. We are somewhat short of suitable wall space in our house - the largest areas of plasterwork have radiators beneath and we have a lot of glazing elsewhere. Edit: Leonid passed away 19 August 2019

The Afremov is now (currently) at the foot of the stairs, but to be honest it doesn’t do it justice.
The one thing I would say about the Aftemov paintings is that they are/were productionised (as in I don’t know if Leonid Afremov personally painted his reproductions - it doesn’t bother me hugely but I’m not 100% convinced he was that prolific...).
Still love the painting. Needs a better location at home (which some planned works at home should free up in the next 12-18 months).
Not sure if they’re art or merely early examples of graphic design; Les Maitre de I’affiche lithographs, printed in Paris in the late 1800s by Imprimerie Chaix. These examples are all by Jules Cheret, apparently the ‘Father of the modern poster’, who knew! A bit of history here about them and the ‘poster craze’ of the late 19th century Yaneff.com
Cheeky bugger - in 1959!?
You have a good eye though.
No, I can't say too much as it's not my house but one I recently surveyed in a far away provincial city. The mural is by a famous artists and architect who worked with non other than Le Corbusier. The property is a modernist gem, though modest in size and unfortunately somewhat spoiled by updating including a pitched roof so that would never really know what it is at first glance . There is another mural even more stylised but I don't have any photos of it. It's the sort of house that very much deserves to be restored back to how it was in the late 50's
PS: not even listed!

You could have done it....It's funny how the world seems to be going mad for mid-century furniture, but good mid-century architecture and art is still, it seems unappreciated. To me it's where the 20th Century peaked aesthetically, it's optimistic, post-war but before 1960s brutalism became the norm.
