Desription

During the 1930s, Dietrich composed four mural studies on diverse subject matter that combine both art and history:
• Wisconsin History
• Cultural Backgrounds
• Home Economics
• Appleton’s Paper Industry

Regionalism was one of the most patriotic forms of American art, and in these mural studies Dietrich highlights the accomplishments of Americans in the Appleton area.
