WPA, in posters

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.
