  • TLF: "I saw, walking on the banks of the East River that summer [during the New York World Fair, 1939], an inspiring spectacle: The white and beautiful sidewheeler “Robert Fulton” with three tall smokestacks abreast, billowing under smoke into the amber sunset light... It started me off to paint “steamers” instead of “sailing ships”; a nothing, a trifle to the bystander but of the utmost importance to me." [205]
