GRIMM PLANS TO WED IN EUROPE (BY RUTH STEINER)
Artist Heiner Grimm, who left here May 1 to visit his mother in Wunsiedel, Germany, writes a most interesting letter to one of his students here, Mrs. Irene Fenton, of the enthusiasm shown in Germany for his Desert landscapes. He has had two showings in the famous gallery in Nurenberg, also one in Munich.
The Munich people were so enthused over the paintings, Grimm plans to open a gallery there, supplying them with his Dessert paintings after his return here. Invitations have been extended to Grimm to show his paintings in London and Paris. He will also show some of his Indian portraits as well as a number of scenic landscapes, done while he was in Arizona.
Artist Grimm is the only artist who does portraits on fine Porcelaine. He presented President Eisenhower with Ike‘s portrait on porcelain when he was here on his first visit. Now, while Grimm is away, he is doing one of Vice President Nixon which he will present to him when he returns to America in later October.
