During the 1930’s, American art experienced an unprecedented and still largely unequalled, surge of creative excitement. Thousands of professional artists, some already known, and most new to the scene,men and - for the first time in this country’s history - an almost equally large group of women, equipped with a dizzying mix of ethnic and econimic backgrounds, were working together to create artworks instended for the enjoyment and education of the public. These artists expressed themselves in Murals, sculptures, decorative patterns, bas-reliefs, and almost any other medium they could command.
