DescriptionA poster version of the Lee Marmon photography "White Man's Moccasins," published by Edward Weston Graphics and depicting an elderly man crouched against a wall with a cigar in one hand and Converse shoes on his feet. Although a popular image and well-known title, the work is here given the title "Old Man Jeff," in the artist's own handwriting. An additional epigraph reads: "To Arnie, Best wishes, 'Pitsy'"--the name by which the addresses and his family in Laguna Pueblo had affectionately known the artist.
