Knowing Irv: The Life and Art of Irving Schiffer
The author's passion project!
In 2022, which marked the fiftieth anniversary of my father Irving Schiffer's passing, my brother and I thought we'd do a tribute to our dad by starting a Wikipedia page. My father was notable for a TV screenplay that had some big star power back in the 1950s, and he'd also painted a bit during his short lifetime. Little did we realize the depth and breadth of his creative output. Here, for the first time, is a collection of all the paintings we could find, a record of his short stories, trade magazine articles, photos, a full (unpublished) manuscript and a traditionally published book, line drawings for a detective agency newsletter, and even cartoons. While not complete (he gave away or sold some paintings that we have no record of), it is a healthy and appreciable account of a beautiful, artistic soul who was our father. These works will hopefully paint their own picture of why Knowing Irv was a cherished and once-in-a-lifetime experience.
