Description
|
|
|
|
This remarkable visual history examines what architects and artists did for the United States during the Depression, thanks to New Deal initiatives. Franklin Roosevelt's policies provided food and work for a country enduring a 25 percent unemployment rate, while art became a tool in rallying pride, illuminating common necessities, and arousing an awareness of the suffering of people. At the same time, new construction and renovations of post offices, schools, and government buildings invigorated communities. Illustrated with some 450 rarely seen color and black and white photos and reproductions of art, the book focuses on the social influences of New Deal art and architecture and its impact on public policy.
