Hubert Davis (Pennsylvania, b. 1902),

Oil on Canvas

​

Hubert Davis (1902-1981) was an American lithographic artist of the Depression. His earliest works date back to 1925 and were primarily paintings of landscapes and figures.

​These lithographs were published by the New York brand of the Works Progress Administration (WPA).  Founded by President Roosevelt, from 1935- 1943, the WPA actively assisted American artists during the Great Depression. Without its aid, masterpieces created by this generation of artists would not have been made.
