Steinbeck was a friend and spent time writing parts of Tortilla Flat in this home while being painted from varying points of view by the couple. Ellwood Graham gained early success as the first Abstract Impressionist in the West and became Nationally known as the first modern Pictographer. The whereabouts of his painting of Steinbeck is a mystery.
