Here is an article written about him in New Yorker Magazine on 10/28/1944: THE
TALK OF THE TOWN ART FOR EVERYBODY BY EDITH HAMBURGER AND PHILIP HAMBURGER Talk
story about Eugene La Foret, the only artist in town who paints in full view of
the public in his own store, in which he sells his creations, usually hot off
the easel. He owns and runs the Studio Store, on the west side of Lexington
Avenue, just below 57th. At the time of our interview he was painting a country
lane with a barn in the background, which, he said a man had ordered for
Saturday. "One dollar down and nine on delivery," he said. A woman came in and
asked if her still life was ready. It was and she paid two fifty for it. His
oils range in price from two dollars for miniature still lifes to five hundred
for more ambitious canvases. Mr. La Foret received his training in Europe:
Berlin, Paris and Munich. Thanks
