EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster announces an exhibition of Oil Paintings from the Easel Division of the New York City Works Progress Administration (WPA) Art Project. The WPA was a New Deal program established in 1935 to provide employment for artists, writers, and other creative professionals during the Great Depression. The Federal Art Project, a division of the WPA, aimed to create jobs for artists by funding public art projects and exhibitions. The image on the poster showcases a dynamic progression of oil paintings, each one a testament to the artistic talent and creativity thriving in New York City during this time. The paintings, created by local artists, reflect the diverse cultural and social landscape of the city. From urban scenes and portraits to landscapes and still lifes, the works on display promise a rich and varied visual experience. The poster's bold design, with its clean lines and vibrant colors, effectively conveys the excitement and importance of this exhibition. The use of the WPA seal and the tagline "Art in Action" underscores the organization's commitment to promoting and celebrating the arts as a vital component of American life. This poster serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of art and the critical role that government support can play in fostering artistic expression and creativity during times of economic hardship. The Exhibition of Oil Paintings from the Easel Division of the New York City WPA Art Project stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of this groundbreaking program and the artists it supported.
