Tenement Flats. by Millard Sheets. (1934) Chosen by President Roosevelt to hang in the White House as a sign of his devotion to the arts and the people of America. Now in the Smithsonian American Art Museum. I found this work interesting because it shows that even in a time of great hardship, people are able to do what they do best- spend time together and probably gossip. To me, it shows that humanity can prevail over any problem. |

This painting shows how crowded some places would be because of they would have no were else to go during the Great Depression.
You're right. This painting shows how humanity can overcome any problem. It really shows how people came together and worked together during a tough time.
