Item Description
This item was donated from the personal collection of the late A.C. Lyles of Paramount Studios, a personal friend of the legendary actor James Cagney.
In addition to being known for his amazing films, James Cagney also enjoyed painting, and claimed in his autobiography that he may have been happier as a painter than a movie star, if somewhat poorer. One of his teachers in later life was Sergei Bongart, who went on to own two of Cagney's paintings. Cagney refused to sell his paintings, considering himself an amateur. He signed and sold only one painting, which was bought by Johnny Carson, and benefited a charity.
18.5 x 14 framed. Self portrait painting by James Cagney.
