Michael Lenson, American Artist 1903-1971, signed upper left for M LENSON, professionally Framed “Majorca” Oil on Masonite Artwork.

Born in Galich, a Russian city of 25,000 situated on the eastern slopes of the Ural Mountains and emigrated to New York at 7 years old with his family, Michael Lenson, a struggling art student at the National Academy of Design and sketched at the Metropolitan Museum later became a young artist who worked in the tradition, particularly in his excellent portraits, while finding a growing power to enrich tradition with personal expression. “All his work has an integrity and soundness which warrant a belief in the artist’s future performance.” - Margaret Breuning, noted critic.

Michael Lenson’s paintings are in numerous private collections and in the permanent collections of many institutions, including the Johnson Museum at Cornell University, the Princeton University Art Museum, the Maier Museum of American Art, and the Quick Center for the Arts at Saint Bonaventure University, the Wolfsonian Collection, the Newark Museum, and the Montclair Art Museum. In 2010, the Art in Embassies program of the United States State Department selected Lenson as an American artist whose works will hang in American embassies abroad.
