They hosted a 25th anniversary party for the United Nations at their estate in Woodside, CA (known as Green Gables) to which the diplomatic corps including the Secretary General U-Thant attended. Mortimer gifted this necklace to Janet as an anniversary present. Janet, a very fashionable woman, was routinely featured on the list of the 10 best dressed women in San Francisco. She wore this necklace to the openings of the opera, ballet and symphony where she sat in the Fleishhacker family box M which is situated in the center of the opera house. Janet left the necklace to her daughter Delia Ehrlich, who also wore it on those occasions. Mortimer Jr.s father, Mortimer Fleishhacker and his brother Herbert were involved in the early electrification of California and founding the Crown Paper Company which later merged to form Crown Zellerbach. He was a regent for the University of California and helped found the local chapter of what would become the United Way. His brother Herbert was a founder of both Fleishhacker Pool and Fleishhacker Zoo (now known as the San Francisco Zoo), while Mortimer Jr. himself was a founder of the public television station KQED.

Oil on canvas
30 x 40 inches / 76.2 x 101.6 cm
Signed lower right: Benjamin C. Brown California, signed, and titled verso: Benjamin C. Brown, Indian Summer-Russian River
Provenance: Purchased from Studio Santa Barbara, December 29,1983 with copy of receipt. Private Collection, Piedmont, CA.
Exhibitions: American Federation of Arts Exhibit: California Artists with label attached American Federation of Arts Exhibit California Artists
Literature: The Studio Magazine, A Patriarch of Pasadena, May 1925, by Rose V.S. Berry. In this essay is a full color reproduction of the painting on page 126, where on page 124 Berry writes, Indian Summer-Russian River, is made pleasing by its difference from the usual Southern California subject, so often presented by Brown, and the difference in the season. The hills are of blue-gray, the eucalyptus trees feathery and plume-like stand out from the other trees of the hillside, while the red-roofed houses nestling in the poplar trees of the village give a colorful note, only a little less lovely than the reflections in the creek which flows directly across the foreground.

Thomas Hart Benton The new Proprietors ink and wash on paper

(American 1889-1975)
The New Proprietors
ink and wash on paper,
sheet: 11.125 x 14.125 inches / 28.26 x 35.87 cm Frame: 16 3/8 x 18 1/2 inches,
signed in ink lower left: Thomas H. Benton dedication in ink lower left: The New Proprietors / Huby and Gert Love Tom (Huby was Leo Hubermans nickname and Gert is short for Gertrude, Leos wife)
Provenance: The house depicted is a little fishermans cottage in Menemsha, MA (a small community on Marthas Vineyard Island which is part of the Township of Chilmark. My Uncle Leo and Aunt Gertrude purchased the property in 1945, long before Marthas Vineyard became a very exclusive, expensive vacation area. At the time they bought it, it had no indoor plumbing and very little interior space. Over the years downstairs and upstairs bathrooms were added, dormers were built onto the attic to create space for two small bedrooms, and a small guest cabin was constructed to the side of the house.
Leo and Gert spent many summers there, often commuting back and forth as work demanded between the Vineyard and their main home in New York City. There is a much larger house next door which was purchased shortly before Leo and Gert bought theirs. It was owned by Sarah Greenebaum, a very dear friend of theirs, and over the summers a colony of intellectuals and artists (including Dashiell Hammett, Lillian Hellman, E.Y.Harburg, Leonard Bernstein and many others) frequented both houses, generating a communal atmosphere that was actually documented by Sarah in an on-again off-again journal of the goings-on during the summers of 1953-1958.
Thomas Hart Benton was a close friend of Leo and Gerts, and he illustrated Leos book We The People (published in 1932). Benton also owned a house in Chilmark and produced many paintings and drawings featuring Vineyard landscapes and characters. He was a part of the above mentioned group that had formed on the island and it was only natural for him to stop by Leo and Gerts new house and do this portrait of them and the house.
Leo always treasured the drawing and it sometimes traveled with him to New York in the winters but was always hanging over the fireplace in the tiny living room of the Vineyard house in the summers. That house and the ability it gave Leo to share its beautiful location with others gave him great joy.
