Description

Photograph appears with the article, "Artist Says High Speed Produces Best Paintings," Los Angeles Times, 03 Apr 1936: 8.
A somber-faced Dr. Kiss stands before a wall of portrait paintings.
The artist whose portraits of prominent Los Angeles men and women are displayed until April 19th claim that none of his paintings took more than three hours - an artist needs only one to three hours to capture the personality of the subject they are painting.
