"Lad in Aviator Helmet" by Loraine Dury of Green Bay, Wisconsin ca. 1930. Nice WPA portrait.

We found this painting in Door County and fell in love with it immediately. The artist, a Loraine Dury, was supposedly an art teacher in Green Bay in the 1930's and 1940's. That makes sense with the strong WPA feel this portrait exudes.

It is oil on canvas and is 16" x 14". No in-painting or damage at all.  It is available for purchase here

Rare and incredible WPA lithograph on period window screen.

These were printed by the Works Progress Administration to enable a grocer or shopkeeper to see out but not let people see in. It was a simple but effective security device. It also demonstrated that the shop was a WPA supporter.


Image size is 32 1/2 x 24 1/2. No holes or tears. It is available here
