About this image
The Coit Tower murals were done under the auspices of the Public Works of Art Project, the first of the New Deal federal employment programs for artists. The artists were committed in varying degrees to racial equality and to leftist and Marxist political ideas strongly expressed in the paintings. The mural includes a scene with depression era tent dwellers washing their clothes and panning for gold in the river below a new hydroelectric plant as chauffeur-driven rich people watch. Differences in attire, vehicles and even the dogs owned by the two groups are used to illustrate the contrast in their respective economic situations.

What my clients say
From the time of purchase Adam kept me up to date on the status of my order. The frame I originally wanted was on back order, but he was able to help me choose a similar frame. The print and frame are beautiful! I would recommend his company.
Received canvas in a very timely manner and packaged with care. I would highly recommend! Now that my husband opened the canvas, he was shocked. We've been trying to capture that "shot" for years. It is proudly displayed in our living room for everyone to see.
Love my night time photograph of Chicago! The colors and quality of the photo are beautiful. I ordered and received my order within a week. Can’t wait to hang this on our wall!! Thanks Adam!
