Description

Explore the intersection of art and politics with WPA Posters in an Aesthetic, Social, and Political Context: A New Deal for Design. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work by Cory Pillen examines the roughly 2,200 posters produced by the Works Progress Administration between 1935 and 1943. These posters were part of a federal relief program created to provide jobs during the Great Depression. This book looks at how these visual works addressed major social concerns of the era. Pillen analyzes how the posters engaged with topics such as recreation and leisure, conservation, health and disease, and public housing. By studying these graphic arts, readers can understand how the posters promoted specific forms of knowledge and literacy to address the challenges of the time. It is an essential resource for students and historians interested in the history of American design and social policy.
