A two page article addressing that queer bond that once existed between artists and large American business interests during the Thirties. The article largely concerns the growth in popularity of art in public spaces; murals generated by the Federal arts project of the WPA that began appearing not simply in train stations, post offices and libraries but the lobbies of privately-owned office buildings in the nation's richest cities.
Pictured above is the art that was painted on the ceiling of Rockefeller Plaza by Jose Maria Sert.
