A very smart copy of this work on the radical journal The Masses, with illustrations throughout. Illustrated throughout. Based on the catalogue that accompanied the exhibition at Yale University Art Gallery 1984-1986.

Artists' biographies written by Elise K. Kenney, an American historian and archivist at the Yale University Art Gallery, and Earl Davis, an American historian. In the original black cloth binding.
