Historical Information

When President Franklin D. Roosevelt was inaugurated in March 1933, he immediately started working with Congress to implement a massive amount of legislation to move the country out of the Great Depression. His “New Deal” created dozens of federal agencies designed to stimulate the economy and provide employment for the millions of Americans who were out of work. Part of the New Deal was designed to give jobs to artists, employing them to create art in post offices, courthouses, and other public spaces across the country. A handful of federal agencies were involved in this, among them the Public Works of Art Project (PWAP), 1933-1934, the The Section of Fine Arts (The Section), 1934-1943, Treasury Relief Art Project (TRAP), 1935-1938, and the largest of the art projects, the Works Progress Administration, Federal Art Project (WPA/FAP), 1935-1942. Taken together, the federal art projects “produced more than 2,500 murals, 17,000 sculptures, 100,000 easel paintings, 11,000 designs; operated more than 100 community art centers; generated 20,000 illustrations of American crafts and design; made thousands of posters, photographs, textiles, ceramics, other decorative arts and objects; and carried out related events and activities.” (Source: Living New Deal website, Department of Geography, UC Berkeley).

Scope and Contents

The collection contains the documentary work of Michael and Amy Clarke, who visited 20 states and photographed public art work originally created by artists employed by the Works Progress Administration and other Federal agencies as part of the New Deal during the Great Depression. The collection contains professional quality photographs taken by Michael Clarke as well as extensive information about each artist and their work. The bulk of the collection is presented in eighteen portfolios, each containing photographs of the art work with information on the back of each photo. Additional materials in the collection include original copies and reprints of New Deal guidebooks. Taken together, the WPA-era Murals Collection documents a large volume of public art created during the New Deal and provides information about the locations and the artists who created the works. Overall, the Clarke’s work illustrates the scope and variety of public art created during this time.
