ニューヨーク近代美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク近代美術館Instagram)「How can artists reshape society? In this moment of national reckoning, Margot Yale, a cataloguer in our department of drawings and prints, looks back to the Works Progress Administration Federal Art Project (WPA/FAP), which in 1935 provided wages for nearly 10,000 artists. “The program’s commitment to keeping artists on payroll as the country navigated recovery from the Great Depression is often cited as an unprecedented moment in American history, when artists and art were deemed central to economic recovery,” Yale writes on #MoMAMagazine. #RivaHelfond taught printmaking at the FAP’s Harlem Community Art Center—a uniquely interracial community first directed by #AugustaSavage. Her lithograph “Curtain Factory” empathizes with the plight of working-class women, depicting a sweatshop where women bend wearily over their sewing machines.
