(See “Braxton Gallery, 1928-1929, Hollywood” by Naomi Sawelson-Gorse in The Furniture of R. M. Schindler, UCSB, p. 88).

I just came across your question while reading with interest the blog on Pauline Schindler. I know the Jawlensky very well, and yes, the frame was made by Schindler. It was always prominently displayed in Harriet and Sam Freeman's living room. Harriet donated it to LACMA toward the end of her life. The frame was coming apart and before she gave it, I helped her by taking it home and glueing it back together. ( That seemed to be my function in those days ('80-"85), helping Harriet put things back together.) Inside the frame when I took it apart was a tiny copy of a portrait of Schindler by Edward Weston, which I left in place. No doubt Hariet and Sam acquired the painting through Galka Scheir (sp?). Harriet said its title was "Head of Christ." Cheers. Noel Osheroff Hi. I just came across your question while reading with interest the blog on Pauline Schindler.

I'm eager to find out more about this frame and this piece and snooping around to see where I can do so....Thanks for your attention, Olivia Booth Hi there,
