Above: "Power Lines," a color lithograph by Isadore Weiner (1910-1964), created while he was in the WPA, 1939. Very little seems to be known about Isadore Weiner, but according to the Illinois Art Museum, he "was born in Chicago and studied art at the Art Institute [of Chicago]. He worked for the Illinois WPA graphics program... [and] taught art at Hull House..." (Hull House was a social improvement settlement home). The Annex Galleries reports that Weiner "shared a studio on the South Side of Chicago with Max Kahn, Eleanor Coen, and Misch Kohn in the late 1930s." Image courtesy of the Art Institute of Chicago.
