WPA posters "display influences from many modern art movements . . . but the WPA poster artists, breaking away from their country's limited art traditions, often achieved something more than mere derivation. In absorbing, redefining, and applying these contemporary European styles . . . [they] developed a fresh style that was uniquely American" (WPA p. 108).
