Art History Talk – Art of the New Deal (1930s)

Tania Harrington is back with a series of two hour talks about the development of art in America.

Septembers talk is: Art of the New Deal (1930s)

We look at Roosevelt’s campaign to revive the arts in his ‘New Deal’ programme. Struggling and unemployed artists such as Diego Rivera were given opportunities to create state sponsored art (often murals), in order to assist in the revival of America after the Great Depression.
