A fine gathering of surreal prints by this well known WPA artist. Leo Russell was born in Chicago July 9th 1917. His parents were active with a group of émigré intellectuals who influenced and encouraged young Leo to develop his creative energies and capabilities. At age ten Russell began studying with the Russian academician Arloff with whom he developed his keen sense of observation; he already saw the world with his own perspective and feeling. In 1929 the family moved to New York City. Leo was enrolled in the school of allied arts where he studied with the stage designer Eugene Dunkel and with the Russian Futurist painter David Burliuck. Later Leo attended Textile High School where he gained skill in Carpentry drafting sculpture and metalwork. After finishing high school Leo studied painting restoration at the Metropolitan Museum of Art employing some of the techniques of the old masters. Russell taught arts through the WPA program at several New York City Locations. On the basis of this work his life-long preoccupation with teaching as a form of human contact was firmly rooted. During this period he studied graphic design with Tony Valanos and Jan Bowles his own execution reflecting the "ash can" school of social realism. When the WPA arts project was suspended he devoted himself full-time to painting graphics and teaching. In 1938 Russell met the Baroness von R as a result he received a small monthly stipend from the museum of Non-Objective Art. Leo Russell sold two wood sculptures to Solomon Guggenheim works that became part of the permanent collection. He participated in a Group Show at the museum with Mondrian Calder and many Abstract Artists from Europe and America.At one time Leo was commissioned to do a mural of Stella Brooks. He also executed two murals for the annual parties of the nascent New York School whose membership reads like a who's who in contemporary art including Jackson Pollock de Kooning Guston and Kline. Russell's avant-garde art and mechanical and technical skills were later imitated by the Pop and Op artists of the 50's and 60's. Flemington Studio of the Arts unknown

Thirion a French revolutionary was a prominent member of the French avant-garde involved in the Marxist-surrealist movement in Paris after World War I. His fellow "revolutionaries" included the likes of Breton Aragon Dali Miro and Giacometti. Thiron joined the Communist party in 1925 and he joined the surrealist movement in 1928. He was a friend of Louis Aragon and Georges Sadoul and was active with the surrealists between 1928 and 1934. During the Second World War he joined the Gaullist resistance. Thiron's autobiography captures the lost period between the wars and the rise in ideological disputes that followed; it is the journal of one man's devotion and disillusionment when the world was changing in revolutionary ways.
