In this first biography of artist Belle Baranceanu, Jennifer Peoples Hernandez tells the riveting story of a woman who overcame insurmountable odds to become the most important female muralist in San Diego during the Great Depression and one of California's foremost Modern artists.
In this first biography of artist Belle (Goldschlager) Baranceanu, Jennifer Peoples Hernandez tells the extraordinary story of a woman who rose from humble beginnings to become the most important female muralist in San Diego during the Great Depression and a prominent California Modern artist. Her meteoric rise in the art world began in Chicago in the 1920s, but the onset of the Great Depression nearly ended her career. Drawing from previously unpublished letters and archival records, Hernandez skillfully weaves Baranceanu’s resilient story into the larger history of the Depression and New Deal in Chicago and San Diego and highlights the success of the government’s work relief programs. For Baranceanu and others fortunate enough to work for the New Deal art projects, the Depression turned out to be a golden
age in American art history with a level of government patronage that has been unmatched ever since.

Jennifer Peoples Hernandez teaches at San Diego Mesa College.
