Kenneth Kendall Paints James Dean, page 4
At U.C.L.A. in 1951, Dean looked spiffy in Hamlet. Painted by Kenneth Kendall, Oil on Canvas, 30"X36", on loan now to the James Dean Gallery in Fairmount, Indiana.
This picture is particularly interesting because Dean, in spite of getting panned in the reviews of his college play, attracted the attention of an influential entertainment industry person who told him to go to New York to study. And so he did.
Genesis XXXII, 24
"And Jacob was there left alone and wrestled a man with him until the breaking of day."
Painted by Kenneth Kendall in 1956, Oil on Canvas, 26"X35". Collection of the artist.
This is James Dean as Bachir in Andre Gide's The Immoralist. Kenneth Kendall calls this one: James Dean, "Portrait in the style of a poster." Oil on Canvas, 18"X24", collection of the artist.
This is James Dean in his red jacket, his most famous clothing image. Well, maybe not, since the stamp, but before the stamp it surely was.
