This seems like a case of "print the legend" - this version wouldn't fit with his comment to the publisher of Harpers.

But anyway I don't think the workers would have welcomed them, though some might have been intimidated by the fact that art commissars had declared them virtually sacred. Abstract Expressionism wasn't really popular even with the very small Art set:
