[…] the Daily Worker printed articles lauding WPA art at the New York World's Fair, which had itself been turned into a way station on the road to socialism: 'The World's Fair says — even [if] it does not know it — that poverty, unemployment, back-breaking work, disease and insecurity are needless burdens. The people feel it as they look at the "world of tomorrow".' Moreover, the mural art and public sculpture of the Fair showed America was 'Coming into its Own in the World of Art and Culture'. The WPA building at the Fair was particularly praised, and the paper featured reports on murals by the Sunday Worker artist Louis Ferstadt and the leftists Guston and Refregier.
