MITCHELL SIPORIN   (1910-1976)
Although born in New York City, Mitchell Siporin was raised in Chicago. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and with the artist Todros Geller. From 1932 to 1935 he made The Haymarket Series, drawings that deal with a highly charged social crisis. He was on the Mural Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in Chicago. In 1940, with Edward Millman, Siporin was awarded a major commission by the Treasury Section of Fine Arts; it was for the Post Office, St. Louis, Missouri -- the single largest commission awarded by the Section.
