Men and Machines
by Cesare Stea, 1939
Plaster bas-relief, 4.25 x 11.5 feet
This piece of
WPA period art can be viewed in the main lobby area of the post
office.
Cesare Stea (1893-1960), an Italian immigrant from New York City
(born in Bari, Italy August 17, 1893) used a bold and powerful
design of men at work manufacturing rasps and files in this
relief at the Newcomerstown Post Office, 133 West Canal Street,
Newcomerstown, Ohio. His work is characteristic of the
industrial imagery used by New Deal artists throughout the
nation.
