George Biddle

George Biddle (American 1885 - 1973) Was a muralist and portrait painter, the Philadelphia Mian Line blue blood who pursuaded Franklin D. Roosevelt to put artists to work on Federal projects during the Depression; in Croton-on-Hudson, NY.  One of the many worthwhile results of the Biddle-inspired government art program is his own best work - a set of fresco panels that decorate the Department of Justice building in Washington.
