A commercial artist and college art teacher, Schlennock has the greatest influence on Henry Miller's painting. In 1929 he encourages, guides, and inspires him, envying Miller's ability to be "wild and loose" (Part 2, Chapter 4, pg. 89) without technical constraints. Schlennock shares albums of the masters with Miller and helps him study the plates in detail.
