CIrca 1930 / 1935, 1932. Original Oil Painting . No Binding. Near Fine. 9" x 12. Interesting Oil Portrait In Color, On Weber Artist Canvas Board, No. 11 Roman Drill Surface, 18" X 24", Apparently Cut To This Size, Manufactured By F. Weber Co. Philadelphia, All According To The Yellow Label Mounted On The Very Worn Black Backing. An Attractive Portrait, Apparently Of Geirge Orwel Circa 1932L, Leaning On His Left Hand And Staring Somewhat Belligerently But Resignedly At Viewer, Left Hand Has Not Been Finished. This Appears To Be A Portrait Of A Younger Orwell Than Usually Seen, Circa Early 1930'S, An Intense Young Man With A Small Mustache, Eyebrows Thinner And Higher Than Usually Seen, But With His Distinctive Right Ear Present. The Portrait Is Not Clearly Orwell In The 1920'S Or 1940'S, But Compares Favorably With The Few Early 1930'S Photographs Of Him That We Have Seen. Unmarked As To Subject, Not Clearly Identified As Orwell. Provenance Murky; From A California… Read More

(The author) focuses on the historical development of Japanese film, illustrated by a series of typical Japanese film posters.
