By 1965 the entire Cunard fleet was operating at a loss and the board of directors decided to retire and sell the legendary Queen Mary. On October 31, 1967, the Queen Mary departed on her final cruise, arriving in Long Beach, California, on December 9, 1967. She has called Southern California her home ever since.
This painting really takes an exciting point of view of the event, it's a wonderful work.
Oil on board. Measures 23 3/4" x 36", frame is 26" x 38".
Though eclipsed in the art world by his more famous older brother (John Whorf, 1903-1959), Richard Whorf was an accomplished artist in his own right. His oils and temperas are tightly painted and well composed. Best known as an American film actor and director, he painted as a hobby and sold his first painting at age 15.
Richard Whorf was born on June 4, 1906, in Winthrop, Massachusetts, the brother of renowned painter John Whorf. He began his career in acting as a teenager on the Boston stage, moving to Broadway when he was 21 years old. He then moved to Hollywood, working in movies as a contract player in the 1930s and 1940s, becoming a director in 1944. His acting credits include "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (1942), "Keeper of the Flame" (1942), "Christmas Holiday" (1944), and others.
As a director he became best known for a number of television programs, most famously the comedy "The Beverly Hillbillies".
He created many small town paintings of the American landscape, inspired by painters like Grant Wood and Norman Rockwell.Whorf's artistic talents found their ultimate expression on the big screen (and later television). In 1942, he starred with James Cagney in "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and with Tracy and Hepburn in "Keeper of the Flame". Eight years later he starred with Humphrey Bogart in "Chain Lightning". His credits as film director included "Till the Clouds Roll By" (1946), "Love From a Stranger" (1947), "It Happened in Brooklyn" (1947) and "Champagne for Caesar" (1950).
