... can you send me pictures of tractor products to remember them by? Cheers, Sally. (Sally Belfrage to George Deem, Postcard dated 10 Sept, return address 51 Randolph Ave London W9)
Here enclosed I am sending you a black-and-white photo of Mayakovsky on a Bulldozer in Vermeer's Small Street in Delft ... Also I am returning the post card of the Russian tractor. I used the image in a new red picture, with Millet's Gleaners up front on the open ground in front of the tractor, and Mayakovsky face on in an oval to the left. It's a companion picture to Mayakovsky on a Bulldozer. I'll send you a photo when I get the picture photographed. (George Deem to Sally Belfrage, letter dated Oct 9, 1979)
When I get the drawing photographed I'll send you a photo of the RED drawing that came out of the Soviet post card. (George Deem to Sally Belfrage, letter dated Jan 20, 1980)
