Books by Louise Lincoln

The Works Progress Administration gave federal financial support to a wide range of artistic projects during the Depression, from fiction to fine art. This book accompanies an exhibition at the DePaul Art Museum in celebration of the generous gift to the museum of one hundred WPA-era prints from the collection of Belverd and Marian Needles.

For over a century the Chicago art community has struggled to define itself in relation to other urban art centers. This book and the exhibition on which it is based reframe Chicago as an artistic center in its own right, with a perspective and community as distinctive as its geography, economy, and politics.
