Celebrating Francis V. O'Connor

This collection of 18 works honors the legacy of Francis V. O'Connor, the distinguished art historian whose scholarship on the New Deal art programs and American modernism shaped our understanding of twentieth-century American art. The selected works reflect O'Connor's areas of deep expertise and passion — WPA-era painting, muralism, and the relationship between art and public life — and celebrate his lasting contribution to the study and preservation of America's artistic heritage.
