The Vida Americana show at the Whitney Museum of Art inspired us to re-visit our own collection of American mural studies. They range from the Samuel Greeenburg 1940s rural scene at 6 x 8 to the 1940 Hugh Mesibov, Life of a Miner, at 63 inches. Some are early suggestions 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.
