揭示 20 世纪 30 年代的美国艺术是如何与政治、社会和经济动荡交织在一起的，这个时代与我们的时代并无二致，是如何在全球动荡中与公众互动的。

本出版物探讨了美国从 1929 年股票市场崩盘导致经济大萧条到 1943 年工程进度管理局关闭期间对艺术身份的追寻，重点关注新技术和政府项目带来的艺术和思想的空前传播。在这一国内、经济和社会动荡时期，艺术家们通过各种媒介传播政治思想和宣传，包括绘画和雕塑，也包括期刊、版画、纺织品、明信片以及其他被广泛收藏、体验或接触过的物品。富有洞察力的文章讨论了这个时代的创作者，如托马斯-哈特-本顿、沃克-埃文斯、马斯登-哈特利和乔治亚-奥基夫，并强调了很少受到学术界关注的艺术家，包括女性和有色人种艺术家以及设计师和插图画家。《百万人的艺术》强调了黑人人民阵线和左派运动的贡献，同时通过种族、性别和阶级的视角承认了人们对美国的不同看法。

Reveals how American art in the 1930s—intertwined with the political, social, and economic tumult of an era not so unlike our own—engaged with the public amid global upheaval

This publication examines the search for artistic identity in the United States from the stock market crash of 1929 that began the Great Depression to the closure of the Works Progress Administration in 1943 with a focus on the unprecedented dissemination of art and ideas brought about by new technology and government programs. During this time of civil, economic, and social unrest, artists transmitted political ideas and propaganda through a wide range of media, including paintings and sculptures, but also journals, prints, textiles, postcards, and other objects that would have been widely collected, experienced, or encountered. Insightful essays discuss but go beyond the era’s best-known creators, such as Thomas Hart Benton, Walker Evans, Marsden Hartley, and Georgia O’Keeffe, to highlight artists who have received little scholarly attention, including women and artists of color as well as designers and illustrators. Emphasizing the contributions of the Black Popular Front and Leftist movements while acknowledging competing visions of the country through the lenses of race, gender, and class, Art for the Millions is a timely look at art in the United States made by and for its people.
