I could not open the photo, too small for viewing. Your question is intriguing. Was Stella, the American painter who would become famous, after painting New York Reinterprated, now hanging in the Art Museum of Newark? All my best Jean-Pierre de Villers

"Stella" was a painting, exhibited on the "Joy Zone," or midway of the PPIE, which was purported to be so lifelike she seemed to breathe. This illusion was likely assisted by mechanical means. "Have you Seen Stella" became a popular question, and she was very popular.

A possible photo of the painting is located here:

So, now *you've* seen Stella!
