Leon Bibel: The Art of Protest Postcards

Item Number: 260
Time Left: CLOSED

Description
We are offering one dozen each of two different political postcards (24 in all), one as shown and the other depicting two powerful images, War Extra! and Refugees, all art done by Leon Bibel in the New York City WPA.
The protest images are incredibly apropos, given what is happening with OWS at the moment. THIS moment!
Leon protested the Fascist war in Spain and the closing down of the WPA art project. These watercolors reflect his first hand experiences of the intensity of the times.
Special Instructions
We will include biographical exhibition data for the artist.
