I finally came across the Original 1928 Bulletin of the Pasadena Art Institute Art Show Tri-Fold linking Arnold Hylen with his longtime friend and fellow artist Millard Sheets. I didn't misremember or make it up, as some have thought. I grew up with my great uncle Arnold and knew him better than most of his friends. He spoke of Millard often, I wish I still had all of their correspondence. That and his cards and letters from Michael Hurley, another eccentric and enthusiastic books collector.

Consider all the images here copyrighted and previously published. Arnold's copyrights were transferred to me after his passing. I'm just trying to protect his name, image, and works. They are here for you to enjoy, not for you to monetize, publish, watermark, etc. Many have used his words and images without permission for so long. I have to draw a line in the sand somewhere. People have been given permission to use his works, and even republish his books without checking the library of congress. Not even checking to see if or who owns them. They aren't public domain even though they have been used all over the internet for decades. I don't mind you sharing images as long as Arnold Hylen is credited, if you want to use them for something else let me know. I will connect you to the right people. Thank you.

Thank you Arturo Salazar and Freeways Los Angeles for removing the watermarked images. It was just an oversight and everything is resolved. We are now connected on messenger and no hard feelings. Facebook can make things more difficult than they have to be. I like his page and he's more than welcome to keep sharing Arnold's photos.

As seen on eBay, not my listing.

Please note, all photos are stock images unless stated otherwise. If you are located in the US, this will ship with two different shipping carriers, and your USPS tracking will not start updating until your order has reached our US warehouse. We do it this way to save on import costs and pass those....
