Description |
Judith Deim at 816 Wave Street, the studio of Michael Hemp, holding the portrait she did of Steinbeck while he wrote his portion of Sea of Cortez. According to Mr Hemp, John Steinbeck thought that Ellwood Graham's commissioned portrait of him was so bad that he made him do it over again. This gave Mrs Deim, who was concurrently doing a non-commissioned portrait of Steinbeck (and who was Mr Graham's wife), plenty of time to paint details, such as how he held his pencil. Mrs Deim had brought the portrait to Mr Hemp to have it reproduced as a limited run, signed poster. CREDIT NECESSARY (see 'copyright clearance' for credit) This photo has discoloration at edges because of water damage suffered in Hurricane Iniki. Digital copy only. No hard copy. |
