Color Photographs from the New Deal (1939-1943)

For the first exhibition following Carriage Trade's 15th anniversary, we are pleased to re-present Color Photographs from the New Deal, originally exhibited at 62 Walker Street in 2012. Including many new selections of color photographs from the Library of Congress archive, the show will also incorporate documentation of labor movements (the Southern Tenant Farmers Union and the Chinese Hand Laundry Alliance in NYC, among others), as well as strikes and protests from the 1930's and 40's which collectively identify the significance of extragovernmental popular movements in helping shape the progressive economic reforms of the New Deal period.
