“I got a job as a dishwasher in Oakland, and I would draw all day. It was nice because the lady who ran the boardinghouse where I worked let me live there for nothing if I gave her some drawings every week - mostly park drawings of birds and such.” IfsJobsNiceWeekDrawsBirdLet MeDrawingRanParksDishwashersOakland Author:Claes Oldenburg
“It was easy to get a job at the Cedar Bar because people came and went, but I didn't like the atmosphere. Instead, I got a job at Cooper Union Library. I stayed at Cooper Union for seven years; it was my salvation. While I worked there, I also read books of every kind.” PeopleYearsKindBookJobsEasySalvationUnionsSevenLibraryBarsAtmosphereSeven YearsEasy To GetCedars Author:Claes Oldenburg
