Library of Congress: Color Photos from the 1940s

I think I may start doing a weekly series where I pull from the Library of Congress photos. They have a Flickr stream, but that just scratches the surface.

Art Hunting

So I decided to see if I could find a good site to locate art in public places–or more exactly in my home state of Georgia.

As part of my search, I stumbled across this state government orchestrated Georgia’s State Art Collection. Apparently at some point, the state of Georgia had a Georgia Art Bus Program. Well that program ended in 1991 and now totaling around 600 works (“sculpture, photography, printmaking, painting, ceramics, jewelry, fiber and silver work”), the art (from folks like “Benny Andrews, Lamar Dodd, Cheryl Goldsleger, Roccio Rodriguez and Joseph Perrin”) is definitely worth checking out.

Wow, I never get tired of find ways that my tax dollars are spent.
