About the artwork.

Buried Treasure by Mabel Dwight, highlights the hard times that many experienced in the US between the Great Depression of the 1930s and World War II. Dwight’s realistic style, which often reflected her humor as well as her compassion, was described as having a “gentle tone” while revealing the reality of daily circumstances. Dwight was able to take a light-hearted approach despite a life marked with hardships and her shift towards more radical political views.
