"Public Works of Art Project of 1934: Works on Paper"
2000-03-04 until 2000-05-14
Everson Museum of Art
Syracuse, NY,
USA United States of America
In the wake of the Great Depression, a concern for professional artists’
employment led the Roosevelt administration to allocate funds to the Public Works of
Art Project (PWAP). This exhibition from the Everson Museum’s permanent
collection explores the depth of work created under this early federal work relief
program. Works on paper by such artists as Agnes Tait, Prentiss Taylor, Mabel
Dwight, Georges Schreiber and Emil Holzhaver portray scenes of the urban industrial
landscape, popular entertainment, and the American family of the early 1930’s.
