Using some of his own murals as illustrations, Kindred McLeary, ex-student and former teacher of architectural design in the Uni versity, has published an article, “Painting as Structure,” in the current issue of Magazine of Art. The murals were painted for the Madison Square Postal Station in New York and show typical New York street scenes. Although some of them, such as Broadway,” are flat and stark in the representa tion, others are hazy and vague. They give the viewer an impres sion rather than details. In this category are “‘Central Park” and “East Side.” Mr. McLeary, who now teaches architectural design at Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pitts burgh, won in a competition for the privilege of painting the mu rals in the Pittsburgh Post Office and the Allegheny County Court House. He has painted also for other public buildings. After graduating from the Uni versity in 1923, Mr. McLeary worked for four months in the studio of Joseph Urban in New York. He assisted in decoration of the ceiling of the Ziegfeld Thea ter and later assisted Jacques Corlu, French architect under whom he had studied, in doing a mural for a Boston hotel.
