The walls of the block-long artists’ collective that houses the LIDA Project’s “work | space” studio theater are lined with all manner of art. The painting above has been seen before by fans of the late Paragon Theatre. It was part of David Lafont’s “Death and the Maiden” set. Lafont also designed “The Hairy Ape.”
