American Artists Group records

1931-1966

The records of the American Artists Group include 12 microfilm reels, plus 0.4 linear feet of printed material, and date from 1931 to 1966. The collection documents the organization's attempt to provide a market for artists affected by the Great Depression by using original artwork for greeting cards. Microfilmed materials include correspondence, photographs, clippings, biographical data on artists, and press notices. Christmas Card material includes a portfolio of 106 Christmas cards, with the envelopes and original packing materials, printed and distributed by the American Artists Group in 1935. This is a nearly complete set (missing only two cards) and the first set published by the group. Publication material includes three publications: "Handbook of the American Artists Group," 1935, "Original Etchings, Lithographs, and Woodcuts Published by the American Artists Group, Inc.," 1937, and "Ten Years, A Christmas Card Adventure," circa 1944.
