Moses Oley
Moses Oley, Quarry

1937

About the Item

Moses Oley drew an industrial scene, but one very much in isolation. The quarry equipment looks both imposing and busy. There appears to be smoke coming from the steam shovel in the distance. But the quarry itself seems un-related to the surrounding country side. Signed and titled in pencil. Issued in an edition of 25 by the NYC-WPA. With the WPA stamp.

Lawrence Beall Smith, Seaside Nomads
By Lawrence Beall Smith
Located in New York, NY
A perfect summer day. A young mother, little boy, and even smaller girl have their luncheon under a make shift 'fly' -- a stripped cloth canopy fixed up with poles. Although it is titled 'Seaside Nomads,' to me it has the look of a bay or inlet. It's relatively flat and there are all sorts of grasses, old...
