Berlin, Irving. (1888-1989). "Flowers for Harold Arlen" - Original Artwork by Berlin, ca. 1970.
An original painting by the composer Irving Berlin, including inset clipped photographs of Harold Arlen and wife Anya Taranda. Oil and a mounted reproductions of photographs on board, signed "IB" at lower right, the board mounted to a painted backing and framed. Overall 11 x 12 inches.

 

In addition to composing over 1500 songs, many of which are now considered American standards, Irving Berlin was a hobbyist painter who frequently gifted artwork to friends. This gift work is notable for its association with Harold Arlen, the distinguished American composer best known for his songs for the film The Wizard of Oz.  Provenance: Collection of Harold Arlen (The Rita Arlen Trust).

The Russian-born composer and lyricist proclaimed by many to have been the greatest American songwriter of all time, is best known for his celebrated Christmas tune, "White Christmas." Written sometime around 1940, the tune was popularized by Bing Crosby, who first performed the song on December 25, 1941. The song was originally recorded by Crosby in 1942, but due to overplay, the master was damaged. The version widely recognized by audiences today is a 1947 re-recording by Crosby. The song is now the best-selling single of all time with over 50 million copies sold.
