sim art students A.jpg 2.1MB: Scan of two publicity photos for the Taylor Art School. Top: Adult art students painting a seated, clothed model in a yard. A Taylor Studio sign hands from a tree on the left of the image. Bottom: Adult art students painting a pair of live, clothed models outside a white, clapboard building with skylights. A sign on the far left advertises Devoe art materials. The photo appears to be posed since the work on the canvases does not match the posed models. At the front of the artists group is a young man standing before a portrait of a single woman with a dark background. This same painting is visible Taylor Art School photo above.
