AMERICAN MURAL STUDIES



Building on works that have been in our inventory for more than a decade and some that came in just this spring, this group of Mural Studies ranges from the modestly sized Samuel Greeenburg 1940s rural scene at 6 x 8 to Hugh Mesibov's 1940 Life of a Miner at 63 inches. Some are early suggestions of images such as Louis Schanker's drawings for the World's Fair Mural, 1939, while others like Mordi Gassner's Coca Cola, a private submission of 1932, are finished in fine detail.

It is unlikely that there will be additional subjects added to this list -- an odd one or two perhaps, but very, very few. It’s a condensed number of years and although I’ve stretched the definition of ‘study,’ it’s unlikely that new discoveries will be made, although it’s nice to think that they might be.
