2 page TLS dated March 29, 1990 with original envelope

Very Good. Written to Steve Harvey, an American art enthusiast who lived on O'Farrell Street in San Francisco. Stiles, a painter, union organizer, etc., writes about his friendship with Sargeant Johnson and Johnson's efforts to kiln some pieces in the black clay at Coyotepec while Stiles was living in Oaxaca in the mid-1950s. He mentions Irv Kremens who was at Black Mountain College when Stiles was a student and Elaine and Bill DeKooning, who were at Black Mountain in the summers when Stiles was spending his summer vacations from college fishing in Alaska. The second page is mostly about some recent watercolors by Stiles and their recent exhibition in (truncated) Mexico and in Bisbee where Stiles was living in 1990. (Inventory #: 92926)
