New Deal Art In The Northwest: The WPA And Beyond

NEW DEAL ART IN THE NORTHWEST: THE WPA AND BEYOND offers an extensive overview of art created during the hard economic times of the 1930’s, when US government projects under the WPA and other agencies created a wealth of public art across the country. In the Northwest hundreds of artists were employed and thousands of artworks created, but the story is almost unknown. Published in conjunction with the recent TAM exhibition, the catalog features 14 essays from a variety of contributors.
