MICHAEL LENSON "UNDER THE STAIRS" ACRYLIC ON CANVAS, SIGNED AMERICAN, C.1960 16 X 20 INCHES Michael Lenson 1903-1971 Michael Lenson was born in Galich, a Russian city of 25,000 situated on the eastern slopes of the Ural Mountains. “In winter, peasants from the north packed their horse-drawn sleighs with kindling and drove into the town across frozen Lake Galich,” Lenson later recalled. “Haggard monks paraded through the town carrying icons, then banged on our door to solicit alms. Wolves roamed through the streets in the dead of winter, and the Tsar and his family stopped their private railway car at the Galich station every summer to receive gifts of locally made leather boots from the local town officials.” Although Lenson and his family emigrated to New York when he was only seven years old, those vivid childhood memories stayed with him, and may have sparked the dream-infused imagery in his paintings and drawings. By 1928, Lenson was a struggling art student sharing a coldwater flat on East 116th Street in New York City flat with fellow artists Louis Guglielmi (1906-1956) and Gregorio Prestopino (1907-1984).

But that year, Lenson’s life changed dramatically when he was awarded the much-coveted $10,000 Chaloner Prize for Painting. “It was fantastic, absolutely fantastic,” Lenson later told an interviewer for the Smithsonian’s Oral History Project. “All of a sudden my worries fell away and I was aboard ship. All my relatives who considered me a no-good deficit to the family were on the dock waving farewell to me.” Thus the Russian born artist was able to return to Europe for four years of travel and study. At the University of London’s Slade School of Art, Lenson logged long months sitting at a drafting table, mastering the drawing skills that would remain a hallmark of his work. “You could say that the instruction there was academic,” he later recalled, “but boy, did they know their stuff.” While in London, Lenson also assisted the noted muralist Colin Gill...
