I do not want you to delete my page on the Alliance of Figurative Artists because of its importance to New York City art history. Hundreds of artists attended, it was written about in the NY Times and in various books, (see my references) and its papers are in the Smithsonian Institute's Archives of American Art- and they do not accept all papers. Many of the artists who went are in the history books (Alice Neel, Philip Pearlstein, Raphael Soyer, Isabel Bishop, Fairfield Porter and many others). I understand your need for verifiable sources- and I have given you some- Here is another one I have just found- Exhibitionism by Lynne Munson, 2000, pgs 112-115, 116, 118.

thank you

Thanks very much for contributing this article – I am very sorry someone nominated it for deletion, but they must have missed the sources at the bottom of the article. As an administrator I have declined to delete the article, so please feel free to continue editing it as you see fit. It seems a very worthy topic. Again, thank you for contributing to the encyclopaedia!  Skomorokh, barbarian  23:52, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
