Posters for Housing and Health
2012
Overview
Overall, the Works Progress Administration program produced posters dedicated to everything from travel and tourism to book readings and war bonds.4 Many of the posters had designs similar to the one pictured here with simple graphics; clean, bold lettering; and socially oriented messages.5 The idea for this publicly funded program to support unemployed artists began in New York City as an initiative by Mayor Fiorello La- Guardia; in 1935, President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal took over the program and expanded it across the United States.
