"Mail by Stagecoach, Lynn to Lowell", WPA Mural Study by Aiden Ripley
About the Item
An evocative and atmospheric example of WPA mural painting, this large study in watercolor and crayon depicts a stagecoach being loaded with mail and passengers for the journey from Lynn to Lowell in Massachusetts. The coach is a vivid yellow, the sky a lovely blue, and the passengers and workers give the bustling scene a quality that is almost cinematic in scale. Ripley is best known for his sportsman paintings, highly collectible today, but early in his career he became known for his murals, including several depicting the life of Paul Revere for the post office in Lexington, Massachusetts, and another for the Winchester public library. This drawing is executed in Conté crayon on board.

This classic example of WPA-period mural painting, executed by Verona Burkhardt for the Immigration and Naturalization Center in Los Angeles, depicts five Pueblo Indians in the foreground and a magnificent landscape of canyons and Pueblo dwellings in the background.
