"An interdisciplinary study of these ideological, practical, and aesthetic problems of government patronage. It finds in them someo f the tensions that shape American culture, such as the conflicting values of fine art and democracy, or of regionalism and nationalism. It also analyzes the thematic content of the art by the ideals represented and by reigional characteristics; it describes the artists' struggles with administrators, local citizens, and the physical constraints of the post office wall; and finally, it considers the art itself as art. . This is, to date, the broadest, most detailed, and best illustrated study of American post office art." (dj).
