Nehemiah Persoff(1919-2022)

As of his centenary in August 2019 he and his wife, Thia Persov, lived in Cambria, CA, where he did his artwork and used to teach acting.

Despite the fact that I've been an actor for more than 50 years, I'd never really looked at nature. But now [since painting] I see the light dancing on the trees, the light of the water and the rocks. Everything in life has taken on a completely different look.
