In New York He Was Associated With Midtown, Wildenstein And Hammer Galleries. During The 1950S, Kingman Served As A United States Cultural Ambassador And International Lecturer For The Department Of State. In The 1950S And 1960S, Kingman Worked As An Illustrator In The Film Industry, Designing The Backgrounds For A Number Of Major Motion Pictures Including "55 Days At Peking", The Sand Pebbles And The Hollywood Adaptation Of "Flower Drum Song".
