Andrew Belsey:

Bruce Bliven, in his book The Wonderful Writing Machine (New York: Random House, 1954) has a picture of a typewriter artist at work (page 153). There is no explanation of who or what is in the picture. All that Bliven says in the text is that “For some, typing is one of the fine arts” and there have been “fine artists who made typewritten pictures.”
