Description
Photograph caption dated August 19, 1963 reads "With him are artists Jim Maston, Hollywood, and Vigen Arvahi, Los Angeles." The article partially reads "Give Britt Lomond 20 minutes and he'll paint you a 20-by-48 inch oil of New York's Manhattan Island skyline. Repeat: 20 minutes. And comes (sic) this fall, Lomond, working out of his North Hollywood studio on the second floor of an inconspicuous building on Magnolia Blvd., says he will begin producing 15,000 oil paintings at the rate of 1,000 every six weeks. Lomond is in the business of fast painting for profit." Lamond is an actor, writer and producer who decided to sell art when the bottom fell out of the acting business.; See images #00129284 through #00129285 for all photos in this series.
