This poster promotes easel paintings shown at 4300 Euclid Avenue in Ohio, a venue tied to the Federal Art Project, the New Deal program that employed artists during the Depression. Its verso is stamped Nov 19 1938, which places it late in the program's Ohio exhibition activity. The Works Progress Administration's poster division produced many silkscreen announcements like this one, using flat, bold color to reach passersby on a tight budget. The image is a useful record of how public art exhibitions were advertised in the late 1930s.
