George Brehm's Childhood Drawings
"George Brehm started his art career at an early age. He would later tell an interviewer that, as a small boy, he would take slate shingles from construction sites around Noblesville and draw on them with chalk. His favorite subjects to copy were the female acrobats on circus posters around town. When the workers later found the shingles, George said they didn’t mind the theft, but (quote) They were appalled that a 13-year-old boy should draw a woman’s legs (end quote)." | Creator: As told by David Heighway | Date: Recorded June 2020 | Source: Audio recording courtesy of the reader
