Description

  • Tom Wesselmann
  • Study for Seascape #26
  • signed and inscibed Dear Marshall, I'm sorry that I have no words of faith but I somehow mean this to be an image of faith. During the past year I've used a foot, very large, pitted against seascape. Soon it will be, I hope, looming as large as in this drawing, so the foot dominates the whole scene. My deepest personal wishes for your welfare, Tom Wesselmann
