In the 1934 photograph used to create this portrait,
Hurston is wrapped in a winter coat, even though she
appears here against the balmy Florida setting of her
most famous novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God. Drew
Struzan’s successful blend of these contrasting
elements demonstrates how stamp artists meet large design
challenges, often on very small canvases. |
