Artist, Sir Winston Churchill, Print, From the sale of the World’s Fair Churchill Exhibit and proceeds have been used to establish a Churchill School of International Affairs on the campus of an American University, Only 1 Available, $300. Churchill was forty before he discovered the pleasures of painting. The compositional challenge of depicting a landscape gave the heroic rebel in him temporary repose. He possessed the heightened perception of the genuine artist to whom no scene is commonplace. Over a period of forty-eight years his creativity yielded more than 500 pictures. His art quickly became half passion, half philosophy. He enjoyed holding forth in speech and print on the aesthetic rewards for amateur devotees. To him it was the greatest of hobbies. He had found his other world—a respite from crowding events and pulsating politics.
