Title A name given to the resource New Deal Gallery Description An account of the resource This collection of more than 200 paintings owes its existence to two primary causes: allocations from the Federal Art Project to a New York state tuberculosis sanatorium located at Mt.

For several decades the canvases were stored in non-climate-controlled basements; it appears that doctors and staff removed at least three dozen works as "keepsakes."

Title A name given to the resource Summer Bouqet Description An account of the resource We see a table with a satin table cloth covering it; on it there is a vase of flowers, all with bright warm colors--red, yellow, and orange. To the left of the vase is a single blue book while on the right there is a pile of brown books. In the foreground of the painting to the right of the vase is a bookcase with neatly filed bound books. In the foreground, on the right side of the vase, is a reflection of the scene in a mirror. The mirror seems to be resting on the table and through the mirror the viewer or the painting is able to see the other part of the room. This painting invokes a feeling of an appreciation for art as it has many books and paintings within the scene. About the Artist: Born in Gardony, Hungary, Csoka—his name sometimes spelled as Csóka István—studied at the Budapest Royal Academy of Art (1922-27) before<a href="https://qns.com/story/2017/04/15/world-famous-artist-resided-woodhaven-neighborhood-way/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> immigrating to the US in 1934</a> and then working his first seven years as a house painter. Gradually he gained recognition via awards at various exhibitions, including the Society of American Etchers, Library of Congress, Corcoran Gallery, and Art Institute of Chicago. Beginning in 1935 and continuing for fifty anniversaries he gave a painting to his wife, Margaret, about the<a href="http://maritalmilestones.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> “Marital Milestones”</a>  of that year. He taught at the National Academy of Design, Hunter College and the Fashion Institute of Technology.

Title A name given to the resource The Farm Description An account of the resource This watercolor painting is a landscape of the quintessential farm in rural America. The most striking objects are the bright colored buildings that contrast with lighter-colored foliage and land. The composition is quite empty, a majority of the space being filled with the land and sky. The buildings are composed of basic shapes with sharp angles but the rest of the painting uses large brush strokes to create a landscape that appears to flow across the canvas. The vehicle that hides in the corner represents the change from traditional farming methods that clashed with the new innovations of the 1930s. About the Artist: Like NDG artists Lucie Bayard and A.E. Cederquist, Cunning was a student of the famous artist-teacher <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Henri" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robert Henri</a> at the New York School of Art. He remained close to this circle of artists via the Whitney Studio Club, and several of his works were featured in Whitney Bienniels or museum collections: “Old Dock” (1927); “Sunset—New York Bay” (1932); “Roadside Market” (1934).

Title A name given to the resource In the Early Spring Description An account of the resource This painting depicts a scene that combines natural elements with man-made features. The brick wall is clearly defined in the forefront of this painting, but our attention is directed to the waterfalls that flow behind it. The wall varies in height and seems to take on the shape of the waterfall behind it. Gaps and layers of the wall give the illusion that the waterfall is part of the man-made structures. The dreary background is abundant with parallel lines that make it appear as its own type of wall. About the Artist: Like NDG artists Lucie Bayard and A.E.

Players traveled around a square board, hoping to avoid the charges of predatory railroads. Property was there to demonstrate the social utility of property taxes. Two different modes of play were possible: one version, called Prosperity rewarded all players; the other version, Monopoloy rewarded just one. By the 1930s, Magie's game was joined by copied versions. Salesman Charles Darrow encountered the game in 1932, and with a few minor additions submitted the copyright shown above using the work of a hired graphic artist. Darrow's game was so successful that the larger Parker Brothers bought his rights, and went on to widespread success.  Monopoloy arrived at a time when economic precarity, and vastly diminished family budgets, coincided with fantasies of wealth. The game has proved very resilient, appearing in hundreds of editions and languages.
