Detailed Description

Regionalism is an American art movement that began in the 1930s as a reaction to the Great Depression. The artists associated with Regionalism sought to portray the everyday life of people in the American Midwest. The paintings often depicted rural scenes of farmers and small-town life. The Regionalist artists were inspired by the work of the American painter Thomas Hart Benton, who also painted scenes of everyday life in the Midwest. The Regionalist movement was short-lived, lasting only a few years. However, the artists associated with Regionalism had a lasting impact on American art. Their work helped to establish a distinctly American style of painting. Some of the most famous Regionalist artists include Grant Wood, John Steuart Curry, and Thomas Hart Benton. Grant Wood is best known for his painting American Gothic, which depicts a farmer and his wife standing in front of their farmhouse. John Steuart Curry is best known for his painting The Tornado, which depicts a tornado tearing through a small town. Thomas Hart Benton is best known for his painting Achelous and Hercules, which depicts a mythological scene.
