"1930s-1940s Regionalism: Evolution of a Style" Exhibition
D. Wigmore Fine Art
This event has ended.
This exhibition celebrates the development of new styles and themes in American art during the 1930s and 1940s, a time when the American Scene movement evolved into a national art form that described and critiqued America's unique culture. To be accessible to all classes of Americans, realism was the language of the American Scene artists who fit into three distinct groups: Regionalists, Urban Realists, and Social Realists. This exhibition focuses exclusively on Regionalism, exploring the evolution of its style and content during the 1930s and 1940s.
