Jane Blair presents American Art Part 2 (1900-1950)

The center of the art world has always been  Europe, and American artists have, by necessity, mostly followed these evolutions.  The American independent spirit pushed the boundaries of acceptable tradition, and in the early part of the 20th century, Americans begin to develop their own unique voice.  The Ash Can School, the flowering of photography and the consciousness of Social Realism were just some of the new developments that reflected the history of those times.

Join us for a look at how American Art grew from the baby in the back seat to an adolescent growing, experimenting, gaining attention and earning respect.
