RAM has a sizable WPA art collection created by artists working in the Wisconsin and New York City Federal Art Projects during the Great Depression. Tying in with the annual Watercolor Wisconsin 2009 competition on exhibit at RAM’s Wustum Museum of Fine Arts, this show focuses on Wisconsin watercolor paintings created in the 1930s. Both urban and rural imagery are included, with a strong emphasis on realist depictions of the environment.
