      David Granahan (American, 1909-1991) Night Shifts, 1934 water color on paper signed lower center, also with PWAP label: Number 2, Project A, dated 4-14-34, titled and signed to panel applied to reverse 18 x 21 1/2in (46 x 55cm) Provenance: Property from the Collection of Mary Ellen Wiegand. Footnote: Public Works of Art Project (PWAP) was the first U.S. federal art program of the New Deal during the Great Depression, predating the WPA (Works Progress Administration) Federal Art Project. Its purpose was to prove the feasibility of government patronage in the arts and aimed to give meaningful work to unemployed artists, emphasizing current American life as subject matter. It was organized in December 1933 within the Department of the Treasury with funds from the Civil Works Administration. Begun under the PWAP were over 700 mural projects which elicited nearly 7,000 easel paintings and watercolors, about 750 sculptures, more than 2,500 works of graphic art, and numerous other works designated to embellish nonfederal public buildings and parks. The WPAP ended in June of 1935 having produced notable works like the mural in San Francisco's Coit Tower and Ben Shahn's Prohibition series. Pieces by Granahan can be found in the Smithsonian American Art Museums and other collections and institutions.
