While living in Los Angeles during the 30's, HAROLD LEHMAN worked with the famous Mexican mural artist Siqueiros.

Details of this mural are included in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Museum of Art in Washington DC as well as the Wolfsonian Collection in Miami, Florida.

Several of his Post Surrealist paintings were included in an exhibit that traveled to three museums from California to Utah called "Pacific Dreams." In addition to Salvidore Dali and Lehman, the show featured Surrealist and Post Surrealist artists that lived in Southern California during the 1930's. The exhibit was shown in LA. at the UCLA-Armond-Hammer Museum.
