Henry W. Grady, born in Athens in 1850, Grady became well known for his great ability as a writer and debater. After leaving the University of Georgia, he studied literature and history at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville and later on persued a career in journalism. Throghout his life as a journalist, Grady managed several papers in the South and became an influential political figure in that with his arguments and easiness of conviction, he was able to push forward the nominations and candidacies of several of his fellow political members at the Atlanta Ring, a group of proindustry Democrats who believed firmly in the ideals of the New South. Grady firmly believed in the need to promote industrial investment from the North, a reinitiation of the Southern industries, a change in the trust between North and South to increase investment. When he returned to Atlanta, Grady dedicated himself to underlining the magnificence of Atlanta as a center over Macon, Athens and Augusta. Despite the favorable effects that Grady had to improve the economical growth of Georgia, but most importantly of Atlanta, he was highly critized by his peers and fellow Georgians for exposing the South with his ideas and policies to the control and subjugation of the North, selling the South to the North and inviting oppression on Souther farmers. He was also critized for attempting to show the North a more bening stand on the issue of freed slaves and slavery. Grady died on December of 1889.
Alrighty give me a minute :)
Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko are best-known as pioneers of Abstract Expressionism. But all four were also among thousands of artists and other creatives employed by the government through the Works Progress Administration (WPA) between the years of 1935 and 1943. That the arts would be funded significantly by the federal government—never mind that it would actively employ artists—may well raise an eyebrow today. But working under a subdivision of the WPA known as the Federal Art Project, these artists got to work to help the country recover from the Great Depression, as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal.
Evidence of impoverishment and a portfolio showcasing one’s skills and commitment to the arts were all that was needed to qualify for the WPA initiative. This and the Federal Art Project’s non-discrimination clause meant that it attracted, and hired, not just white men but also artists of color and women who received little attention in the mainstream art world of the day. These artists created posters, murals, paintings, and sculptures to adorn public buildings.
