This exceptional original American Regionalist watercolor and gouache mural study perfectly encapsulates the optimistic "Progress and Industry" design spirit of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) era. Masterfully executed by acclaimed St. Louis muralist and WPA artist Michael Chomyk (1911–1993), the composition vividly chronicles the evolution of mid-century American infrastructure, transportation, and trade. The panoramic scene dynamically bridges two distinct worlds: a quiet, rural farm landscape complete with a traditional red barn and silos, and a bustling symbol of modern progress. Cutting through the countryside is a sleek, aerodynamic streamlined rail train, while a classic multi-engine propeller plane slices through the sky above. Both elements of transportation guide the viewer's eye toward a towering, geometric Art Deco NYC...

Prov. private collection. Erik Hoppe (1896–1968) was a Danish painter who is remembered for his paintings from the Copenhagen area, especially those with young ladies in the park at Valby. Hoppe also mastered the effects of light and color. His earlier work is typified by greens and dull shades but later he produced compositions benefitting from bright sunlight. His style reflects the peculiarly Danish form of modernism, initially based on the sombre everyday-realism of around 1930.[1] Affinities with the work of Edvard Weie and Harald Giersing...
