In his 1939 autobiography entitled 'An American Artist’s Story', George wrote that art “is a re-creation, a reaction to, a critique of life, expressed subconsciously in a given medium with a certain rhythm.”

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.
