The image is expected to be an American scene but instead artists are given full freedom. From 1934-43 the treasury part of paintings and statues employs artists to make paintings, murals, and sculptures for federal building decorations. From 1935-39, the Ministry of Finance also carried out a parallel scheme, a treasury assistance fund.
The Federal Art Project, managed by the Works Progress Administration, was run from 1935-43 and in one year from the beginning of employing around 5,500 artists, teachers, designers, craftsmen, photographers, and researchers. Some of the most important works that come out of these projects are murals in public buildings inspired by examples of the Muralis Mexico. These programs provide a big encouragement to art in America, at least by increasing the morale of artists and are now considered an important factor in the explosion of creativity in American art after the second world war (see abstract expressionism).
