Photograph - Restored Vintage Poster By John Buczak
Description
The original poster by John Buczak was part of the New Deal era Works Progress Administration. The WPA had offices around the country and among their efforts was a series of posters that were designed to publicize exhibits, community activities, theatrical productions, and health and educational programs.
This poster as you can see was used to advertise an exhibition of artists in 1940 at the Art Institute of Chicago. It has a great vintage style illustrating the Chicago Skyline with the dates and information for the 44th annual exhibition. A fun piece of vintage decor.
