HIGHLIGHTS

     Ben Shahn's works were part of the "Twelve Modern Painters and 
     Sculptors" exhibit by the Museum of Modern Art, New York City,
     which toured Paris, Zurich, Dusseldorf, Stockholm, Helsinki, and
     Oslo in 1953-54.

     In 1954, the Museum of Modern Art organized an exhibit of Shahn's
     paintings as well as those of Willem de Kooning which toured South
     America.

     The Museum's retrospective show featuring the art of Shahn opened
     in Amsterdam in December, 1961, and will tour Europe throughout 1962.

     Shahn is a member of the Fine Arts faculty of the Famous Artists 
     Schools of Westport, Connecticut, whose unique home study method
     developed by the School enables Shahn to pass along his painting
     and drawing techniques to thousands of students instead of only a 
     few.
