Object #92 / A St. Bernard and several scampering pet rabbits

Paul Ford: Private Lives [Composer Arnold Schoenberg]
in: Los Angeles Times (1945)

Arnold Schönberg Center, Wien

Readers of the Los Angeles Times must have viewed a cartoon in amazement which places the retired UCLA professor in the midst of “three playing children, a St. Bernard and several scampering pet rabbits”. His portrait here was sketched on the basis of a photo taken in 1940 by Eric Schaal in New York. The cartoonist was inspired by a copy of the photograph in “Time Magazine.”
