Talk:Waldo Peirce

Hayford, perhaps I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know (so excuse me in advance), but, having a few minutes on my hands, I breezed through the Net and found some factoids:

1. In the “BIDDLE FAMILY PAPERS, SERIES 2: George Biddle Correspondence” at Georgetown University [1], there is, in box 2 18, “lunch with poet Waldo Peirce, an evening with Witter Bynner and meeting with Harry S. Truman (ALS 11/16/1954)”. Poet Waldo Peirce?

2. I’m not sure if you’re already intending on including this in your list of museums: “Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco - Waldo Peirce, Circus on the Move, 1937” (which is mentioned here: [2])

3. And: Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco - Waldo Peirce, On the Beach (His wife and twins), 1936; which is mentioned here: [3]

4. You probably know this: “In artist Waldo Peirce’s 1943 letter to Sally Jane Davis, Peirce shows that his affections are divided among three women, each happily eating a piece of his heart. The letter is among the 60 works of art in More Than Words: Illustrated Letters from the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art, organized by SITES and the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.” Mentioned here: [4] And the letter is here: [5]
