| Summary: | The author suggests that during the 1960s and 1970s, critics who resisted dismissals of 1930s art funded by the government looked to the extensive holdings of the Archives of American Art and the "Archives of American Art Journal" as a resource to investigate and a scholarly forum to engage in discourse about the lives of socially concerned artists, their art, and the institutions that supported them. The importance of the activities of archivist Garnett McCoy is discussed. |
