WPA, in posters
paperhaus December 2nd, 2008
I wrote a short blurb on the new book Posters for the People: Art of the WPA that ran in Sunday’s LA Times. The piece appeared with several illustrations; the online gallery included 13 posters - in color, even.
Everything looks so cool it makes me want to go back to then, when we were living in a depression.
No, wait, scratch that.
OK, to go back to a time when we were living in a depression and the government had these really cool workfare programs for artists and writers. Or, you know, forward to a time like that.
