This exhibition, which is attracting large crowds to the Whitney, will be on display until May 17, 2020.&nbsp;</span></div>

263<div><span style="font-size: medium;">In a review she published in <em>The Wall Street Journal,</em> critic Judith H. Dobrynski commented, "But unless you habituate post offices, colleges or small museums, you will be unfamiliar with many splendid narrative works (shown here in m sketches, studies, cartoons) by artists like Mitchell Siporin, Hale Woodruff, Henry Bernstein, Michael Lenson, Fletches Martin and Anton Refregier. Who are all these artists? Discovery is a joy of this exhibition."</span></div>
264<div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
265<div><span style="font-size: medium;">Eqully positive reviews have appeared in <em>The New York Times</em> and elsewhere. Consoisseurs of Lenson and his art will not want to miss a chance to see this wonderful exhibition.&nbsp;</span></div><br>

327<div></div>
328<div><span style="font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">We are delighted to report that the Wolfsonian Institution in Miami Beach (a division of Florida International University) has just added two Lenson mural fragments to its permanent collection. They depict scenes from the Spanish Civil War and incorporate the same imagery that Lenson created for a series of lithographs that he completed in the 1930s that were sold to raise funds to support the Republican forces that were battling Generalissimo Franco.&nbsp;</span></div>
329<div><span style="font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;"><br /></span></div>
330<div><span style="font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">These works, with their political agenda, are entirely appropriate for inclusion in the Wolfsonian. The Mission Statement of that organization is:</span></div>
331<div><span style="font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;"><br /></span></div>
332<div style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ff0000;">"The Wolfsonian uses objects to illustrate the persuasive power of art and design, to explore what it means to be modern, and to tell the story of social, political, and technological changes that have transformed our world. It encourages people to see the world in new ways, and to learn from the past as they shape the present and influence the future."</span></em></div>
333<div style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ff0000;"><br /></span></em></div>
334<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">The artist would have been thrilled to have these two powerful works arrive at the Wolfsonian which, incidentally, owns five other Lenson works, including a full-size working drawing of his mural "Mining" which he created for the U.S. Post Office in Mount Hope, West Virginia.</span></div>
