Above: "Small Town," a color lithograph by Ann Nooney, created while she was in the WPA's Federal Art Project, ca. 1935-1939. Though several of her works can be found online, there seems to be hardly any information about Nooney's life in newspaper archives or the Internet, and not even her exact dates of birth and death seem to be known (though 1900-1970 is the most frequently offered span). As part of a 2016 art exhibition, a student from Murray State University wrote, "While there is little known about her life, she left behind a legacy of work that continues to provide a visual glimpse of American life during these times" ("Art for the People," February 25, 2016, accessed December 24, 2019).
