Description
Winston Churchill. Extraordinary photograph signed ("Winston S. Churchill"). 1 piece, (9.25 x 11.75 inches), circa 1956-1958, on double-weight paper, capturing Churchill seated in profile on the belvedere at the Villa La Pausa, painting with a wooden easel in front of him. Minor warping.A charming oversized signed photograph of Churchill painting.
Built by French fashion designer Coco Chanel in the early 1930s, Villa La Pausa was the estate of Churchill's longtime friend and agent Emery Reves. Writing in 1940, Churchill commented, "I can speak from personal experience of his altogether exceptional abilities and connections," later that year describing Reves as "a most brilliant writer who hold our views very strongly." Churchill spent about a third of each year from 1956 to 1958 as a guest of the Reveses at the Villa La Pausa. It was at La Pausa where Churchill wrote and edited part of his four-volume History of the English Speaking People and avidly pursued his passion for painting.
