The W.P.A. Decade, 1933-1943: Art Across America
August 15, 2004 - October 31, 2004
This original exhibition will trace the vital and diverse creativity in American art during the W.P.A. decade, linking the activity of the federal program with its aesthetic context in American art. The split in art--between traditional and innovative--parallels opposing factions in American politics of the time, conservative isolationism versus progressive internationalism. The exhibition will feature works by foremost W.P.A.-affiliated artists, among them Reginald Marsh, Guy Pene du Bois, Ben Shahn, Moses and Raphael Soyer, John Steuart Curry, Grant Wood, Ilya Bolotowsky, Robert Gwathmey, Stuart Davis and Jackson Pollock, among others.
