“Perhaps the Most Gifted of the Local Muralists,” 1931–1935
View through CrossRef
Returning to San Francisco in 1931, Arnautoff began to paint large murals. Undere the New Deal, federal funds helped to underwrite many public art projects. Arnautoff took a major part in the first large New-Deal art project, at Coit Tower in San Francisco, where a Communist symbol in another artist’s mural generated controversy. Arnautoff then received a commission for another other large, New-Deal mural at the Presidio. Some of his art began to criticize aspects of his society, and he began to define his art as social realism.
