In 1935, Pres. Roosevelt created the Works Progress Administration, aiding artists return to work during the Great Depression. The Graphic Arts Division employed over 790 artists and NYC's workshop is estimated to have produced around 75,000 prints.
The crash of the stock market on October 29th, 1929 ushered in an era of severe economic decline across the United States. In an effort to support those in need, Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935 created the Works Progress Administration, a program that endeavored to aid artists by putting them back to work.
The Graphic Arts Division of the program was among the most active, employing over 790 artists across the country. By far the largest was the workshop in New York City, which is estimated to have produced around 75,000 prints. Unlike other artists who worked for the WPA, including well-known modernists like Stuart Davis and Louis Lozowick, Ann Nooney is not a household name and very little is known about her life. Like many of her peers, however, Nooney was drawn to scenes of urban labor, including this ambitious color lithograph of an apron-clad worker, who has stepped out onto the sidewalk after a long day’s work.
