To me those don't look like WPA 30’s artwork. They look more like old Soviet style Worker's Party posters, designed to further the Communist Party “group-think”. The era is correct, the country isn't.

maybe...don’t have time to really research it now so I’ll take yer word for it

i always remember that brawny exaggerated look from those WPA arts from school book binders and library murals from when I was a boy in the late 50s and 60s...i always think Steinbeck

from works done in that era which lauded the laboring man

there was even a bar-food joint in South Beach in the late 80s when I lived there decorated as such and called WPA

Today we passed a portrait of the Zero that was probably 10 feet high and 7 or 8 feet wide. What type of politician puts pictures of themselves up everywhere like this ?

No one has ever done it in an American election. The only people who do it are megalomaniacs like :Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Mao.
