Additional Information
Produced in 1936, this poster by Harry Herzog for the Federal Art Project captures America's natural heritage during the Works Progress Administration era. Created for the United States Travel Bureau's campaign promoting domestic tourism to national parks, this poster features a waterfall rendered in Depression-era government art style.
Herzog employed the printing technique synonymous with WPA posters, producing bold colors and clean lines characteristic of American modernist design. The poster emerged when the National Park Service was expanding public access through New Deal infrastructure projects, connecting art with the conservation movement of the 1930s.
During the 1930s, the federal government recognized tourism's potential to stimulate economic recovery while fostering national pride. The WPA's poster division produced numerous designs, with national park posters becoming widely recognized examples of the era's artistic output and government-sponsored creativity that employed artists nationwide.
This piece represents the partnership between art and conservation, offering a window into government-sponsored creativity. The poster bridges past and present, its style continuing to influence contemporary park imagery. A meaningful addition to collections celebrating America's natural heritage and the unique artistic history of the New Deal era.
