EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster announces the exhibition of works from the Index of American Design, held at the Federal Art Gallery in Boston from 1936 to 1938. Sponsored by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), the Index of American Design was an ambitious project to document and preserve the artistic and cultural heritage of the United States. The poster's striking image features a weather vane in the shape of a Native American, symbolizing the rich indigenous history that was a focus of the Index. The weather vane, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, stands as a testament to the artistic craftsmanship and cultural significance of the objects documented in the Index. The poster's design reflects the progressive spirit of the New Deal era, with its bold typography and dynamic composition. The use of the American flag and the phrase "Index of American Design" reinforces the national pride and cultural identity that were central to the project. The exhibition showcased a diverse range of works, including paintings, prints, textiles, and decorative arts, all meticulously documented and catalogued by a team of artists, writers, and researchers. The Index of American Design remains an important resource for scholars and enthusiasts of American art and history, providing a valuable record of the country's artistic and cultural heritage. This poster is a fascinating artifact of the era, reflecting the creative energy and patriotic spirit of the New Deal era and the enduring legacy of the Index of American Design.
