Round 4: Tossup 19

This artist arranged the twenty-two Hebrew letters in a small red square above his signature in some works, including an ink portrait of Martin Luther King shouting. The hand of God grasps abstract blue-and-purple fish in the midst of gray flames (-5[1])in this artist’s water-color Where Wast Thou?, which is based on Job. This artist and his wife Bernarda Bryson included Albert Einstein among Jewish immigrants arriving at Ellis Island in their Jersey Homesteads mural. A judge salutes by a fasces-shaped light post (10[1])in a painting by this artist whose foreground shows three men holding (*) lilies before two open caskets; that painting is part of a 1932 cycle by this artist (10[1])chronicling a controversial 1927 trial and execution. For 10 points, name this social realist artist of The Passion of Sacco and Vanzetti. ■END■ (0[3])
