One of a kind 1965 catalog from famous decorating studio.
JAMES SEEMAN (1914 – 1994) muralist and engineering designer, always had an exceptional talent for painting. In his native Vienna, he put his talent to work painting posters for movie theaters. He came to the United States in 1938 opened his first studio in New York at the war’s end. Organizing his studio along engineering lines, he created murals on wallpaper and canvas, did research in painting, printing, and hand-screening techniques, and produced hand-cast stone and tile mosaics. He founded James Seeman Studios in 1943, and over time  acquired a worldwide reputation for excellence of design and highest quality and integrity, with distribution not only throughout the U.S. and Canada, but in most European countries and Australia and Japan as well. He sold the company in 1973, to the Masonite, and continued to work for Masonite until 1976, when he returned to his favorite activity - fine art painting. The company, James Seeman Studios, ran into difficulties starting in 1982 and was closed in 1987. In the last years of his life he was busier than ever with many commissions for his work. He passed away in 1994.   About this book:
