Excerpt: Boris Gilbertson produced a walnut bas-relief for the Macomb Post Office that was to be installed in 1943. However, public sentiment opposed the art work. The sentiment expressed at that time was that money should not be wasted on art but should be directed toward World War II. Instead of being placed in the post office, it was given to the Smithsonian Institution, and it is now part of the collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
