[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 192337, member: 37"]I would want a museum devoted to 20th century American art of the depression era. Works from the WPA and similar would be what I am talking about. Would probably want to include some works prior to the market crash and some from the WWII period after the depression for context. I would have no problem curating this but money would be an object. The Art Institute in Chicago had an exhibit this past Summer devoted to this and, while great, I felt there was so much more that could have been included. Here is a link to their exhibit, [I]America After the Fall[/I], to give you an idea of what I am talking about. [URL]http://www.artic.edu/exhibition/america-after-fall-painting-1930s[/URL][/QUOTE]
