In 1933, newly elected President Roosevelt initiated what became known as the New Deal, a series of federal programs and agencies designed to spearhead economic recovery from the Great Depression through public services, regulation, and new jobs. Among the programs his administration created in 1935 was the Rural Electrification Administration (REA). Managed by the Department of Agriculture, the REA helped build energy infrastructure in areas where private companies refused to operate, extending electricity to remote areas with small populations. Lester Beall was hired to advertise the REA’s work, creating three series of posters over a five-year span.
Knowing that Americans were generally distrustful of overly intellectual and visually obtuse European modernism, Beall deftly translated and advanced these artistic concepts to create a new kind of American art, one that distilled the heart of various avant-garde movements with the need for clear communication and the desire to sell. This exhibition highlights the groundbreaking work Beall produced for the REA, as well as the development of his contributions to American modernism up through World War II.

It&#39;s real and effective. It&#39;s the official channel, which is much more reliable than the black guy at the door who blocks the road to sell you stuff. Hahahaha. We made an appointment at 9 a.m., and there weren&#39;t many people at that time. But because we were waiting for people, there was already a long line at 9:30. It&#39;s better to go earlier.

Rockefeller Center

668***50

It is recommended to queue up at the time of booking tickets. You can enter after the time and you don&#39;t have to wait;
The diversion guidance is good and not too crowded;
The observation deck is crowded and windy, and it is quite cold in May;
The ticket price for watching the sunset in the evening is a bit more expensive, so make a reservation in advance.
