Injunction Granted, New York, 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and evocative image from the Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) established in 1935. The project aimed to conserve and develop the skills of theater workers, re-employ them on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced this art form. This striking poster, featuring a lone man holding an injunction letter, encapsulates the political and theatrical climate of the time. The lowercase, Western script lettering and the use of color and colour add to the graphic design's concept, while the image of a policeman adds a political edge. The poster's text, "Injunction Granted, New York, 1936," suggests that a performance or production has been granted permission to proceed despite potential opposition. The Federal Theatre Project was a significant part of the New Deal, a series of programs and projects implemented in response to the Great Depression. The project provided employment opportunities for actors, writers, directors, and other theater professionals, as well as bringing live theater to communities across the country. This poster is a testament to the importance of the arts in providing jobs and entertainment during a time of economic hardship. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of American heritage art, and its vintage aesthetic makes it a popular choice for conceptual and political designs. The poster's text, "Injunction Granted," invites the viewer to imagine the story behind the image and the significance of the moment captured in this historic photograph.
