This silkscreen poster advertises a joint exhibition of work by Dorothy Loeb and Blanche Lazzell at the Federal Art Gallery on Newbury Street in Boston, a venue run by the Federal Art Project, the New Deal program that employed artists during the Depression. Lazzell was known for her color woodcuts and her ties to the Provincetown modernists, so the pairing of two women printmakers and painters gave the show a clear focus. The date stamped on the back, March 25, 1939, suggests the poster was printed and distributed for a spring showing. Its flat, bold color fields reflect how the Federal Art Project turned silkscreen into an affordable way to publicize its exhibitions.
