I ...Hi Julie, thank you very much for your comment. I always enjoy it when older ones like this continue to receive feedback many years later. <br /><br />While not an immense amount is known about each and every person who contributed as a WPA artist, thankfully their is some info to be had on various people and I'd highly recommend checking out the following sites such:<br /><br />https://www.keysarts.com/public_art/wpa_biographies.html<br /><br />http://www.wpamurals.com/wpabios.htm<br /><br />http://www.lehman.edu/vpadvance/artgallery/gallery/wpa/prints.htm<br /><br />http://www.artmuseum.msu.edu/wpa/WPA/pages/artists.htm<br /><br />I hope that helps.

It's wonderful to know that you guys enjoy WPA posters as well.<br /><br />@ Nora Johnson, indeed, the world is suffering through some soul-weary, bleak times at the moment. It's terrifying to think of the extent some people will go to make ends meet. I would only sacrifice an organ to save a loved one, but I do honestly understand the level of overwhelming desperation that would drive a person to such extremes. Let's all hope as hard as we can that the economic crisis will end soon and no one else will have to take such profound measures.<br /><br />Thank you again Moonspinner, Emme, alexanra, and Nora for your comments. I hope you each have a beautiful weekend.<br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-11208313779805218092009-05-15T02:22:00.000-07:002009-05-15T02:22:00.000-07:00Totally endorse the words of my esteemed fellow bl...Totally endorse the words of my esteemed fellow blogger, Moonspinner, above! How much those posters of the Great Depression touch a chord TODAY especially here in Spain with unemployment the highest in Europe @ 17% and some Spaniards even selling their livers to make ends meet...!<br />Some pause for thought eh...?<br />Anyway just wanted to say how much I enjoy yr site & will be back again soon!<br />All good wishes<br />Nora<br />btw As a student, travelled through Canada by Grayhound (still got a sore rear as proof!)& really enjoyed Ontario especially Toronto.
