Leen, Nina, 1909-1995

In May 1950, a group of New York painters wrote a letter to the Metropolitan Museum of Art protesting its anti-abstract bias in the selection of painters for the exhibit "American Painting Today 1950." The letter appeared in the N.Y. Times and the Herald Tribune. A photo of the group taken Nov. 24, 1950 appeared in Life's Jan. 15, 1951 issue, captioned "Irascible Group of Advanced Artists Led Fight Against Show."

From the description of [The Irascibles] [graphic] / Nina Leen. 1950. Nov. 24. (Unknown). WorldCat record id: 779477586
