One last picture from the “Experience America” exhibit, which was just fascinating. This used to be a mural in the cafeteria at the Old Social Security Administration Building.

Many of the paintings in “Experience America” were created in 1934 for a pilot program designed to put artists to work; others were produced under the auspices of the WPA, which followed. The thousands of paintings, sculptures, and murals placed in schools, post offices, and other public buildings stand as a testimony to the resilience of Americans during one of the most difficult periods of our history.


Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
