«Between 1933 and 1943 the government employed and commissioned over ten thousand artists, many young or virtually unknown, some astablished and famous, but most in desperate nee. They produced a staggering amount of work: 100'000 easel painting, 18'000 sculptures, over 13'000 prints, and more than 4'000 murals, n ot to mention posters and photographs. In the process they created a public art expressing the ideals, fulfilled and unfulfilled, of that era.» (p. 131)
