Born in Moss Point, MS in 1897, M.H. Herrin was an American artist mostly known for his portraiture of some of the nation’s most prominent political figures and movie stars including, Winston Churchill, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis andSophia Loren to name a few. He attended the Pratt Institute of Fine and Applied Arts in Brooklyn during the 1920’s. His work is unique in the way he approaches the method of portraiture; instead of working in real time, he takes about a dozen pictures of his subject and works from a photograph. One of his most notable portraits is of King George of England which was painted for the British War Relief Society of New York. In the 1970’s, a number of his paintings hung in the U.S. Comptroller’s office at the Will Roger’s Hospital in NY. He also traveled the world with his wife, Marylin, and enjoyed drawing landscapes and portraits of the locals.
