  • More about Art for the Millions: American Culture and Politics in the 1930s


In the 1930s, American art reacted to the political, social, and economic turmoil of the time by engaging with the public through new technology and government programs. Art for the Millions explores the search for artistic identity during this period, highlighting artists who have received little scholarly attention, including women, artists of color, and designers and illustrators. The exhibition will be on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York from September 6 to December 10, 2023.

The search for artistic identity in the United States from the stock market crash of 1929 to the closure of the Works Progress Administration in 1943 is explored in this publication. Artists used a variety of media, including paintings, sculptures, journals, prints, textiles, postcards, and other objects, to transmit political ideas and propaganda during this time of civil, economic, and social unrest. Insightful essays discuss the contributions of lesser-known artists, including women, artists of color, designers, and illustrators, while also highlighting the contributions of the Black Popular Front and Leftist movements. Art for the Millions is a timely look at art in the United States made by and for its people, published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University Press. The exhibition will be held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York from September 6 to December 10, 2023.
