1966 Press Photo Artist Peter Hurd shown with landscape painting in Columbus, OH

Artist Peter Hurd is shown with a landscape painting, one of about 200 pictures which went on display in Columbus today in an exhibit which attracted most attention because it features a Hurd portrait of President Johnson which the President rejected. Hurd told a news conference the LBJ portrait was for sale. But he declined to pose for photographers with the painting, saying he didn't want to add fuel to the controversy.

Photo is dated 1966.

Photo measures 10.25 x 8 inches.
