A poster for a Federal Art Project exhibition places a cluster of fruit beside a set of paintbrushes, borrowing the still-life tradition to announce an art show. The Federal Art Project, a division of the Works Progress Administration, employed artists across the country from 1935 until 1943, and its poster work promoted galleries, community art centers and traveling exhibitions. The fruit recalls the subject matter painters have practiced for centuries, while the brushes make the artists themselves the subject. Posters of this kind often relied on bold shapes and flat color so they could be read quickly from across a street.
