Chain Gang Music
By Stephen Longstreet
Located in Fairlawn, OH
Chain Gang Music
Watercolor on paper, dated '39, but created in the 1970's
Signed "Longstreet" lower left corner
Titled and annotated "George - '39" in pencil at top of sheet
Provenance: Acquired from the artist
Joseph M. Erdelac, friend and patron of the artist
Born Henri Weiner (sometimes spelled Wiener), the artist tried alternate names and personae including Paul Haggard, Thomas Burton, and David Ormsbee before settling on the name Stephen Longstreet in 1939. Longstreet dates his art based on the period he means to represent, not the actual date of execution.
Stephen Longstreet (1907-2002)
The artist’s own grandchildren attempt to fathom the real life and nature of Stephen Longstreet, prolific author, artist, screenplay writer, and jazz aficionado.
Born Chauncy Weiner (sometimes spelled Wiener) in New York City in 1907, Longstreet reinvented himself on a regular basis. Changing his name first to “Henry,” then “Henri,” he started his career as a commercial artist for a department store. In various public biographies he claimed to have studied in New York, London, and Paris, and said he was a student of cartoonist Ralph Barton...
