One of the things at work which we keep track of is which artists did work on Federal Art Projects, whether it was through the WPA or any numerous other programs. I'm truly surprised at how many big named, 20th century artists got a start through the FAP.
These programs provided a lot of work for a lot of people and left lasting legacies. Even if the art doesn't exist any more, other work by those same artists do.
I don't quite understand how so many people, who regularly tell me they're the experts and know what's best, keep screwing up so badly. (And why so many people keep listening to them.)
