Follow-up to "Francoise Gilot"

I just wanted to follow up on the previous post. I stated that it might be fun to cut some of the prints out of the paperback edition of the Picasso retrospective catalogue and mat and frame them. And I did. There are seven in all:

These are The Swimmer, in the Musee Picasso in Paris; Woman-Flower (Francoise Gilot); Boy Leading a Horse, famously owned by CBS chairman William Paley and now in the Museum of Modern Art; and Bullfight.

These are Girl with a Mandolin, also MoMA, and The Cock.

And Three Women at the Spring, also MoMA.

The frames for all these pictures all came from local thrift stores. They all had pictures in them, but I was only buying them for the frames. I never paid more than five dollars for any one of them. Part of the fun was figuring out which frame best suited which picture.

At one of the thrift stores I saw a fairly large framed poster of this photo of Ben Hogan. 

I didn't buy it because the frame was just a cheap metal poster frame, and anyway it wasn't what was foremost on my agenda that day. Also, although I could tell right away that it was Hogan, I didn't have any idea what tournament it was from.

Last Saturday there was an article in The New York Times about Phil Mickelson and his quest to complete the career grand slam. The article misidentified the five golfers who have accomplished this feat. In addition to Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, they included Bobby Jones and left out Gary Player. I sent an e-mail to the editors pointing out the mistake, but for three days they failed to make the correction. Finally today they corrected it.

The paragraph in question is the 19th paragraph, and you can see their note on the correction at the end of the article. Here is what I wrote to the editors: "There is a mistake in Karen Crouse's article on the U.S. Open dated June 15, 2019 ('U.S. Open: Time Is Becoming Even Less on Phil Mickelson’s Side'). She states that the five golfers who have won the career grand slam are Bobby Jones, Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods. Gary Player, not Jones, should be included on this list. While Jones won each of the majors of his day (the U. S. Open, the British Open, the U. S. Amateur and the British Amateur), he did not win the modern career grand slam consisting of the Masters, the U. S. Open, the British Open, and the PGA Championship."

After quietly congratulating myself for the good deed I'd performed, I idly went to Hogan's Wikipedia page. (I spend a lot of time on Wikipedia. I make corrections all the time, and regular readers of this blog will remember that I wrote the Wikipedia page for The Starry Night.) One paragraph of Hogan's page refers to a one iron he hit on the 72nd hole of the 1950 U. S. Open, at Merion, a shot that the page said was immortalized in a photograph by a man named Hy Peskin. I said to myself, "I wonder if that's the photograph I saw in the thrift store the other day?" And sure enough it was. It's funny how sometimes something you've never heard of all of a sudden starts popping up all over the place.
