Administration Federal Pennsylvania Progress Project
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking poster announces the Exhibition of Works by the Pennsylvania Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), held in 1939 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The WPA Federal Art Project was established in 1935 as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal initiative to provide employment and financial assistance to artists during the Great Depression. The project funded the creation of public art and murals, as well as exhibitions like this one, which showcased the work of over 500 Pennsylvania artists. The progress and administration of the project are depicted in this poster through dynamic imagery. At the center, a group of artists work together in a studio, surrounded by their finished works and palettes. In the background, a mural is being painted on a large wall, symbolizing the public art component of the project. The poster's bold typography and use of color convey the energy and excitement surrounding the exhibition. The Exhibition of Works by the Pennsylvania Federal Art Project was a significant moment in the history of American art and the WPA. It provided a platform for artists to showcase their work and receive recognition during a time of economic hardship, and helped to promote the value of art as an essential component of community and cultural life. This poster serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the WPA and the impact it had on the art world and beyond.
