The American Scene

Art in the Great Depression

Explore the rural and urban scenes of American art during the Great Depression.

Join presenter Sean Crum to learn about “American Realism” and  “Regionalism” in American art through artists Edward Hopper and Grant Wood. 

See how Hopper's paintings and prints evoke loneliness, stillness, and contemplation. Discover how Wood's Iowa home became his muse for his rural subjects of farmers, corn fields, and deep vistas of endless Mid-American landscapes.
