"A showcase of a small selection of works from the IU Art Museum's holding of more than 800 Depression-era photographs."

If New Deal era artwork interests you, Indiana post offices featured federally funded murals, many of which are still extant. Most of the Post Office works of art were funded through commissions under the Treasury Department's Section of Painting and Sculpture (later known as The Section of Fine Arts) and not the WPA.
