A review by nursenell
The Muralist by B.A. Shapiro

3.0

I had a hard time getting into this book and almost quit reading it. I usually read quite quickly through WWII/holocaust books but this one didn't hook me like most do. I think it was all the discussion about art, not an area I'm particularly interested in. In the end though it is a good story and I'm glad I read it. One thing I did learn, in addition to some of the history of abstract art, was that the WPA hired artists to paint murals in various American cities, I never knew that.
