American Masters

This is a sketch for the picture "Harper" with Paul Newman. You know, I had to make this here to show the director, you know, so they can go in and build the set.

For the most part, you really had to work on everything. We didn't question what they gave us, we just did it. He's got some incredibly beautiful drawings for an unrealized Warner Brothers motion picture that was meant to be a musical it was influenced by Salvador Dali - very surreal, very unusual colors he was trained to be able to do anything, and he could do anything. And he followed his assignments, and his assignments were to be flexible, innovative and work to the service of that screenplay.
