First sentence: There was a sour joke among New Mexicans in the 1930s that since living poor was so common in their state, the collapse of the national economy went unnoticed for the first several years.
Description: "Artists began coming to New Mexico in the late-19th century, attracted by the dazzling New Mexican landscape, the hospitality of town and village life, and the Indian and Hispanic cultures that had shaped the artistic imagination of New Mexico for centuries. In state-sponsored interviews, artists explain what the New Deal art programs meant to them during the Great Depression."--Alibris.
