🧵 1/6
I was sitting in an Austin Starbucks last weekend, absorbed in the recently published "New Deal Art: Culture and Crisis in the Great Depression" by John P. Murphy.
"Hello." A smiling man was standing by my table. "I'm the author of the book you're reading."
What a delightful coincidence! We sat together and chatted for a while about the book, the thirties, and the exhibition of American modernist art at the UT Blanton Museum where he was going to be giving a talk.
Even though I was already planning to post a few thoughts on the book, the chance meeting has provided me with additional impetus.

It’s Been Called the ‘Sistine Chapel of the New Deal.’ Don’t Destroy It.
The rare #murals in the Cohen Federal Building celebrate vital American values of dignity and community. Now they could meet the same fate as the White House’s East Wing.
