Only two of the ten murals Arshile Gorky painted while working in the WPA Federal Arts Project for the Newark Airport Administration Building survive.
As has happened with a number of other New Deal artworks, the other eight have been lost or destroyed.

"Spanish muskrat trappers drinking wine and playing "cache," a form of poker, in their camp in the marshes. Delacroix Island, St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana". January 1941, FSA photo by Marion Post Wolcott.
"Spanish" in this context probably means the trappers are Louisiana Isleño.
Note the large glass bottle in center of table with label "Cream of California - California Claret", an early mass produced wine by Gallo.
