EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in American art history. The poster, titled "Shall the Artist Survive?", was created in the late 1930s as an advertisement for a forum sponsored by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration. The event took place at the Daly Theatre in New York City and featured esteemed speakers Holger Cahill, Dr. Erwin Erdman, Elinore M. Herrick, J. B. Neumann, and Dr. William Nunn. In this thought-provoking image, we see the poster itself displayed on a wall with its bold typeface and striking design elements drawing attention to the central question: Shall the Artist Survive? Against a backdrop of economic turmoil during the Great Depression, this forum aimed to address pressing concerns about supporting artists and their work. The photograph highlights not only the importance of public discussion around art but also serves as a testament to government initiatives like the Federal Art Project that sought to provide employment opportunities for artists during difficult times. With its silkscreen technique and powerful imagery, this poster represents both an artistic expression and an urgent call for action. It stands as a reminder of how art can serve as a catalyst for social change while raising pertinent questions about sustaining creativity amidst challenging circumstances.
