One phone screen emits an image of Ben Shahn's painting "Bartolomeo Vanzetti and Nicola Sacco" from 1931–32. The work is in the collection of Museum of Modern Art, New York and is described as follows: "The trial, conviction, and executions of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, Italian-born American anarchists, were political flash points in New York in the 1920s. Their indictment was inflected by anti-Italian and anti-immigrant fervor. For a 1932 mural exhibition at MoMA, Shahn submitted this design depicting Sacco and Vanzetti, which provoked much debate in the local press. “The subject that I chose is an aspect of modern life that stirred my feelings deeply,” the artist wrote in his own defense. “I painted it with all the sincerity and skill I possessed and, in my judgment, there is no reason in the world why a mural on this subject should not be exhibited.”
