FAIRFIELD PORTER
Original Art. Line drawing above a brief Autograph Letter Signed
Below his sketch of a girl sitting with pen in hand Porter writes, "Dear Mrs. Brumbaugh: I hope this will be enough writing and sketch for you to find connections." Porter signs in full. His later work, considered his best, reflects his emphasis on domestic scenes as shown here and paintings of his family. His paintings are owned by major American museums including the Smithsonian, Metropolitan Museum of Art and MOMA. The page measures 8.5 x 11 and floats on a dark gray mat overlaid with a white mat, framed in black satin finished wood, matted and framed in museum quality materials, framed in 5/8/inch black satin wood. Frame measures 15 7/8 x 18 3/4. The date of April 10, 1964 is docketed on verso.
