1934 in Total

Included in this set are paintings from the Smithsonian American Art Museum's new exhibition "1934: A New Deal for Artists" and other visual pieces the museum has amassed from the year 1934. Discover the rich history of our collection through works from one of the most trying times in our Nation's history. The Great Depression had affected the morale of the country, and as President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the everyday citizen were trying to pick up the pieces, our nation's artists, sculptors, and photographers were there to record the American experience.
