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 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 (15[1])in their Jersey Homesteads mural. A judge salutes by a fasces-shaped light post in a painting by this artist whose foreground shows three men holding (*) lilies before two open caskets; (10[2])that painting is part of a 1932 (10[1])cycle by this artist chronicling a controversial 1927 trial and execution.
