The Whitney Museum of American Art, one of the country’s leading museums, opened an exhibit today of 30 powerful drawings depicting Nazi brutalities, created by Mauricio Lasansky, internationally known artist and director of one of the most influential graphic art workshops in the country at the University of Iowa, Iowa City.
The exhibition was initiated by Kneeland McNulty, curator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, who saw the works in the artist’s studio on the Iowa campus. It is jointly sponsored by the Whitney Museum and the University of Iowa. It is scheduled to be shown at the Des Moines, Iowa Art Center, June 23 to July 16, and then at the University of Iowa.
