Art
Follette, Suzanne La | October 10, 1936 issue

add to cart   close window

One comes away from the exhibition now being held at the Museum of Modern Art by the Federal Art Project with a feeling that the depression of 1929, may prove to have been the best thing that ever happened to American art. The government relief projects — the PWAP and the Artists' Project which has succeeded it — have not made the artist rich, but they have kept him alive and given him what he sorely lacked — opportunity. He used to be poor and discouraged. Now he is poor and encouraged.
