SLAM dives into artists and hardscrabble of the Great Depression

Описание к видео SLAM dives into artists and hardscrabble of the Great Depression

The men are workers. Welders. The homes are shanties, cities and closed. Floods and famine drown the faces of men and women. Workers stand outside of silent machines.

These are just a few words that cannot cover the full impact of the dozens of art pieces hanging in the St. Louis Art Museum’s exhibit focusing on artists living in the Dirty Thirties—and how they found inspiration in dire times.

The exhibit is titled “The Work of Art: The Federal Art Project, 1935-1943.” The art collected within the museum are all pieces created during the Great Depression of the 1930s and into World War II.
