+: The origins of Mr. Stein’s mural are obscure. Painted on canvas, it has no title, although it has been referred to as “New Man, New Woman.” A date on the lower right-hand corner indicates that it was finished in 1968, part of a three-wall mural executed by Mr. Stein that dripping water from the building’s upper stories reduced to a one-wall mural.
Of the now-vanished panels, Mrs. Gordon hazily recalls a giant, languorous woman stretched the length of one wall, and a multifigure composition on the other. In any case, the two walls in question, after renovations at the club, are now covered with photographs of jazz notables, leaving Mr. Stein’s creation scene standing alone. (In 1996 it was joined by a mural on one of the side walls, painted by David Ellis.)
