The image displays a vintage exhibition poster for the Federal Art Project's Works Progress Administration (WPA). The dominant colors in this striking graphic are red, blue, and white. It features an illustration of a stylized eagle with its wing spread wide across the top half of the poster against a light background. Below the eagle is a bold banner that reads "EXHIBITION," followed by smaller text providing details about the event: watercolors from January 14 to February 28 at Bessemer Gallery, located on the Bessemer Building's sixth floor and Duquesne Way in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The poster also prominently features the Federal Art Project logo with its distinct typography. The design is simple yet effective, utilizing contrasting colors and geometric shapes for emphasis. It serves as an advertisement inviting viewers to attend this art exhibition during that specific period at Bessemer Gallery.
