In a six-decade career, MICA art professor Raoul Middleman has become internationally known for his oil painting.

But at the C. Grimaldis Gallery in Baltimore, Middleman has unearthed a 1969 suite of Mae West drawings that has never been seen in public. The Mae West Suite: Graphic Work by Raoul Middleman features Middleman's prints and drawings, including some color monographs.

Middleman gives Tom Hall a tour of the exhibit at C. Grimaldis Gallery.

The Mae West Suite: Graphic Work by Raoul Middleman will be up at C. Grimaldis Gallery through March 23.
