from the private collection of William McCormick:

Orrin White (1883&endash;1969)

Orrin White loved Mexico, especially the Guanajuato area, and spent several months a year down there. I bought the first of these paintings ("The Street of the Kiss") out of the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, after renting it during their "rental program" period in the1950s. The other I bought directly from the artist at his home/studio in Pasadena. We became good friends over the years, and I enjoyed visiting him at his studio, watching him work, and admiring his personal collection, which included a large number of his own works, as well as those of other artists.

Both of these works were painted in downtown Guanajuato, Mexico, in the late '50s or early '60s.
