In the 1950s, he built an $8 million factory complex that allowed him to print, dye and finish all his own fabrics. And his textile designs are legendary!

Or his bookshelves. I see bits of tattoos, Communist posters, classic wood engravings, folk art, Americana tourist attractions, advertising, and pre-war comic strips. He [...]
