Description

As the United States struggled to recover from the Great Depression; 24 towns in Alabama would directly benefit from some of the $83 million allocated by the Federal Government for public art works under the New Deal. In the words of Harold Lloyd Hopkins; administrator of the Federal Emergency Relief Act; ldquo;artists had to eat; too;rdquo; and these funds aided people who needed employment during this difficult period in American history. This book examines some of the New Deal artmdash;murals; reliefs; sculptures; frescoes and paintingsmdash;of Alabama and offers biographical sketches of the artists who created them. An appendix describes federal art programs and projects of the period (1933ndash;1943).
