      | Note: | Stanley Koppel: Shortly after the end of the Second 
        World War, San Francisco became a major center for liberal and leftist 
        artists. In 1945 the California Labor School was founded in San Francisco. 
        It offered a wide range of art classes to working people and returning 
        war veterans. During the height of McCarthyism (1948) the school was forced 
        to shut down because some members of faculty were Communist. In 1952, 
        however, a cooperative school, the Graphic Arts Workshop, was formed to 
        continue the work of its predecessor. Its founding members included Stanley 
        Koppel, Pele DeLappe, Irving Fromer, Frank Rowe, Louise Gilbert, Victor 
        Arnautoff and others. The Graphic Arts Workshop exists to this day and 
        its principal mandate continues to be to produce socially significant 
        art. | 
     
      |  | A fine painter and printmaker, Stanley Koppel exhibited 
        his art in San Francisco and other California cities from around 1945 
        to 1970. In September of 1959 an etching of Koppel's, entitled, Men 
        Drinking at a Bar, was presented to Nikita Khrushchev during his historic 
        visit to the United States. Lonesome Sunday was created by the 
        artist around this time and clearly shows his power of depicting social 
        and urban issues. |
