The Deaf Man Heard the Dumb Man Say That the Blind Man Saw the Lame Man Run (c.1940s). Michael Lenso
The Deaf Man Heard the Dumb Man Say That the Blind Man Saw the Lame Man Run (c.1940s). Michael Lenson (American, 1903-1971). Oil on canvas.Lenson exhibited at several New York City galleries, including Kende Gallery in 1951. A New York Times review said: “The wittiest paintings of the week are those by Michael Lenson at the Kende Gallery. He paints with some sort of synthetic resins and lacquer and the resulting surfaces, not pleasing to the eye, are as hard and unyielding as the whip-like profilings that imprison his mannered figures. A good deal of imagination goes into these figures, which move from reality to fantasy with the professional ease of ballet dancers.” -- source link
