Bllom, Hyman (American, born Latvia, 1913-2009). PORTRAIT. Pencil and white highlighting, 1931. Initialled lower left, and dated lower right. Identified on a 1974 Exhibition label of the Currier Gallery, Manchester, NH. The label identifies the sitter as "Ted Ford," but the drawing is another version of the charcoal drawing in the Boston MFA, also from1931, which identifies him as Edward Tedford. It is also possible, even likely, that he was Edward (Ted) Ford. In excellent condition. In 1931 Bloom was still a student, studying with Harold Zimmerman and Denman Ross in Boston.
