- Lot Description
James Daugherty
(Am. 1889-1974)
"The Scouts" Mural Study
Pastel on paper, framed under glass
Signed, estate stamp, and Janet Marquese Fine Arts Ltd. label verso
27" x 11 1/4" sight, 33 1/8" x 17" framed
Other Notes: Daugherty accepted a position to design a mural cycle in Stamford commissioned by the Public Works Administration (PWA). The murals were for the Social Room at Fairfield Court, one of the new public housing projects, which the PWA was building under the federal government's new and highly controversial initiative to provide low-cost housing for working Americans.
Daugherty's initial idea for the cycle consisted of eight murals incorporating the themes of Home from Work; Outdoor Sports (New Leisure); Boy Scouts (Youth Movements); American Family; Social Life; Work; Recreation; and Community Life. Daugherty's second version preserved only two of the themes, Home from Work and Social Life. He rejected the other six themes after making numerous studies for them. Two studies for Sports (cat. no. 24 and cat. no. 25) and three studies for Recreation (cat. nos. 26, 27, and 28) are included in this exhibition. Daugherty's drawings for Home from Work and Social Life also underwent revision. Home from Work was retitled Homecoming (cat. no. 31).
