Description: Allegorical scene, approx. 3'x4' 6", oil on masonite, by JACK BICE, 1949, painted when the artist was a graduate student, studying with Max Beckmann, at the University of Colorado, Boulder.  Beckmann painted the surface of the raised arm in the foreground.  The painting was last seen presumably being taken to the Boulder city dump when the artist moved to Buffalo, New York, in 1963, although there is a possibility it was salvaged and kept by persons unknown.  See article on Bice/Beckmann, "More Blek".
