, "By 1941 a number of painters had already been commissioned to paint murals on the walls of the new Interior Department building; no photographers were originally included in the Mural Project (as the undertaking was called) because few people then judged photography to be on a par with painting" (p. 7).I probably shouldn't admit this, but I really had no idea that all those painted works were already the Mural Project, before Adams' commission. I double-checked with the Interior Museum director and he confirmed this new information.
