    Shortly after the end of the Second World War, San Francisco became a major center for liberal and leftist artists. In 1945 the California Labor School was founded in San Francisco. It offered a wide range of art classes to working people and returning war veterans. During the height of McCarthyism (1948) the school was forced to shut down because some members of faculty were Communist. In 1952, however, a cooperative school, the Graphic Arts Workshop, was formed to continue the work of its predecessor. Its founding members included Stanley Koppel, Pele DeLappe, Irving Fromer, Frank Rowe, Louise Gilbert, Victor Arnautoff and others. The Graphic Arts Workshop exists to this day and its principal mandate continues to be to produce socially significant art.
