Presentation transcript:

New Deal Art During the depths of the Great Depression of the 1930s and into the early years of World War II, the Federal government supported the arts in unprecedented ways. For 11 years, between 1933 and 1943, federal tax dollars employed artists, musicians, actors, writers, photographers, and dancers. Never before or since has our government so extensively sponsored the arts. Source: http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/new_deal_for_the_arts/index.html

Why did the government support the Arts? Arts projects provided work for jobless artists. A larger mission: to promote American art and culture and to give more Americans access to what President Franklin Roosevelt described as "an abundant life." The projects saved thousands of artists from poverty enabled Americans to see an original painting for the first time, attend their first professional live theater, or take their first music or drawing class. Controversy and WWII ended government support for the Arts.

What were common themes? New Deal art displays important cultural and historical themes that give us a window into a period of great change and controversy in America. Rediscovering America Celebrating “the People” Work Pays America Activist Arts Useful Arts
