«I believe that Dimitroff and Bloch have succeeded where mural painters of greater reputation or notoriety have failed. I know of no mural in any public building in New York which has behind it the conviction of this unpretentious record of life in a community. The design of the piece is firm, strong, simple […] The color of the piece is luminous as though a hidden light were radiating from the two masses on either side […] Under the surfaces of a technique learned from Diego Rivera, Dimitroff and Bloch are reasserting that honesty in American painting that has for its precedent the work of Thomas Eakins […] I would say that the unveiling of their mural is one of the most heartening events of the current art season in the city of New York.» Horace Gregory, in the NEW REPUBLIC, November 7, 1934
